parents, are you really interested with the chat at the school gates whilst

[*JB*]

waiting for your child? I just wondered because i drop my daughter off at school in the morning and do the breif hellos as everyone is passing but when i go to collect her at the end of the school day i dread the stupid conversations the mums are having, i would rather stare at the wall than join in a conversation about how perfect their children are, or listen to them all cooing about the contents of a babys nappy or listen to every detail about there visit to asda.
Are you really interested?

 

[desmeran (emeritus)]

well, yeah, i am, but the conversations i've joined aren't about how perfect anybody's children are or the contents of a nappy. a lot of these women i've now been friends with for close to a decade and we have other things to talk about.

i am an aunty and collect my neice from school on a friday and i think to myself every week thank god i am not one of these mothers, they talk crap, they look at me like i am a zombie because i dont get involved with them

 

[frankenjudo]

yes, I am interested in intelligent discourse with the parents of my childrens' friends.I am even interested in chatting with parents with whom I am unfamiliar. Surely, it breaks up the monotony of my own day.

Most of other moms won't speak to me. Looks like I am safe from that tedious conversation.

 

[Preggo]

lol my kids ride the bus home but I would feel the same way as you probably. Especially with people I don't talk to outside of school

 

[Dad411]

Nope. in and out.
