Mmmmm.

You know what? I didn't find it that funny. It's lazy, perpetuates stereotypes and is part of a popular strand o journalism that encourages divisions, particularly amongst women.


The majority of mums I meet out and about are a fantastic warm bunch and don't fit those categories.


I've just finished reading The Hive which worked on a similar premise but actually explored those stereotypes with a tad more insight and nuance than I'm afraid that article did.


I'm sure others may chuckle.

I agree with Bellenden Belle, it certainly didn't make me chuckle.


Did anyone read the comments at the end of the article? This was my favourite one:


Wonder which group I'm in, I used to turn up, watch the girls go inside safely then go home to start preparing a meal as the wife went to work while waiting my turn on nightshift, I don't do small talk at the school gates, I don't scream F's at the kids and I certainly never had the time on my hands to hang around school playgrounds evaluating other breeds around me, occasionally speaking the "hello" word to acquaintances.


Oh I see where you're coming from, you're that aloof prick with ample time on their hands who can waste it hanging around schoolyards before sauntering down to the local deli for an expresso, a read of the guardian and a croissant before hitting the typewriter keys to drivel on about the latest hot release from MGM, another F U C K I N G non-jobber the world could well do without.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
