Standing in the school yard waiting for your kids day after day, having to listen to mothers having mundane conversations about which washing powder they prefer and what their making for dinner that night?
Is it just me or is there anything more tedious than that time of the day?

I dont pick my son up from school as I am still at work till 5pm so he goes to the afterschool club,
but on the odd occasion that I am off work I get him and yes I know what you mean, these wives must have such boring lives, talking about crap and her and no. 32 etc etc.
I do love the times I get to pick him up myself but I am glad that I have a life other than been a mother and a wife, otherwise I would be discussing washing powder along with them like who cares!!! lol

i try to be social with as many of the other parents at my children's school as possible.. I'm lucky that we live in a very close knit village most of us know one another and there are only around 150 children at the school. There are a few who are devoted to the grind of daily life but for the most of us its all the other bits.. the latest bug going around (woohoo).. or who's having a baby next!.. man we are boring.. ignore everything i have just said!

I dont tend to listen - the most tedious time for me is meal times - make the food, eat it, wash up and then a few hours later start again

Nope because I sit in the car in front of the school and my son comes right to the car :) It's either that I wait a half hour before I can get out of the parking lot @@

Does that happen in real life? I have waited for my kids and we parents have never ever talked about laundry or dinner.

You are one of the cool parents? The ones everyone else rolls their eyes at because your overly impressed with your own intelligence. Honey it's called small talk we really don't want to know you.

Don't you wanna know the kids and the parents that your child is friends with? Who knows you might even start liking some of these people and see that not all their conversations are about laundry. Give me a break. You need to get involved with who your child picks as friends.

No actually it is the only time of day I talk to other adults besides my husband, and besides I learn a lot sometimes. I also like to know who my child goes to school with and what kind of parents their children have.

I tell you what's worse - listening to the working mothers complain about how tired they are!!!!!
I've never discussed my washing powder, or the dinner arrangements. It depends on the type of person you are. It takes all types to be a mother.
