What fresh hell this is. Forget the fashion nightmare of the school gate. I have to deal with the style nightmare of having to go in the SCHOOL POOL..

I've just read a letter from ds' Reception teacher.

"we like parents to accompany their children in the pool after school on a Wednesday"

I'm a size 16. I've just sussed the whole school run fashion dilemma. I'm simply not ready to bare all in a swimming costume in front of the other reception mums.

Well done - a big hand for moodlum!!!!!

Look at it this way. The worst bad hair day will be like a walk in the park now!

There would be no communal changing for me. I would be taking an enormous robe and then putting the heater on full blast in the car.

ha ha ha you've got the wrong school there. They would like the parents to get into the pool with the dc

I have never heard of this before.

i cannot believe that a school would ask this! i am a teacher myself and know that most parents both work. not everyone is A SAHM or SAHD
