Mums reveal all the behaviour they can’t stand at the school gates – and proudly get parents FINES for their driving
FROM always being late to little Miss chatterbox, there are a whole range of different parents that linger at the school gates.
And one woman, who doesn’t have children, was eager to know what type of mum everyone particularly dreads bumping into when they drop their child off first thing in the morning.
Taking to Mumsnet, she penned: “I recently read a post about someone getting a hard time for being annoyed that kids take crisps to school.
“Are there any parents you can’t help but eye roll at? Why are they so annoying?”
She went on to joke that despite not having a child of her own yet, she’s both “secretly looking forward to” and “dreading” the WhatsApp groups with all the “moans and controversies.”
The woman kicked off the thread by explaining that she has an older stepchild and that there are a few a*** kissing mums at their school.
She continued: “Calls the teachers by their first name, follows them around like a puppy at Christmas/summer concerts etc.
“It kills my soul to watch someone try so hard.”
The conversation opened up quite the response, with many frustrated mums eager to vent about the type of school gate parent they find most annoying.
“The ones that think their little prince/princess couldn’t possibly have done anything wrong, and if they are told they have, they turn it around to be literally anybody else’s fault,” wrote one.
A second told how she gets irritated by the mum who relentlessly asks the same question week in, week out.
“The ones in the class WhatsApp group that constantly ask ‘is it PE tomorrow?’ It’s PE every f***ing Thursday. Is it Thursday tomorrow? Then yes, it’s PE,” she penned.
Parking was also a big topic for debate, with many admitting they can’t stand those who ignore basic rules of driving.
“The ones that think double yellow lines don’t apply to them,” one person wrote.
Another commented: “The parent who waits in their car on the zig zags with the engine running. Two wrongs don’t make a right!”
A third revealed that she can’t stand one mum in particular who parks “all over the pavement, leaving 3 foot for parents, kids and prams to squeeze through.”
She added that despite numerous letters being sent home from the head teacher, nothing has changed.
Meanwhile, a further told how she can’t stand those who “drive like maniacs” or think “traffic restrictions don’t apply to them.”
She proudly boasted: “I got a camera and have been the cause of two NIPs complete with fines and points on their licences, so far.”
