If the school really allow all the family to go they are failing those children. Leaving year six is a right of passage you do not have parents at the disco, you exchange numbers talk about meeting in the summer. Arrange to meet to go to the new school you do not have your little brother their dancing and definitely not your parents watching.

Plus im not bab fending but I think she really really believes that Erin will be fine in secondary school as she has been in primary. The thing she doesn't get is the kids in primary there parents have always know babs as this person and have probably always thought of she's just crazy but its just another mom in the play ground.
Senior school is going to be so so different and I really believe she doesn't think it will. Im guessing she thinks Erin will stay friends with all her primary school friends but the likely hood of that is so so slim.

I think so, we did it for my daughter and her friends , didn’t get limo to disco leavers part though, we had the limo on last day of school then all went to local cricket club after they’d toured the mean streets for an hour
How crazy!! Times have changed since I wax year 6 we just walked there

Sadly yes a limo/fancy car is fairly normal ,the only parents at my dd yr6 leavers do was parents who were on the PTA ,parent of a child with severe allergies sat in the bar area of the hotel with a few parents

Doubt it cos I would bet good money it never happened! Never heard of parents throwing the javelin at a school sports day?!!!
Running race, welly wanging yes….but not javelin.
Surely health and safety etc would not allow a parent to fling a spear willy nilly round kids FFS ?

It was probably Bab's suggestion to let parents and siblings join!

it's not all about the winning babs! but absolute bullshit did the parent participation in sports day involve javelin throwing. from my memories of school, parents tended to be involved in a race, occasionally with th einclusion of an egg and spoon, or throwing hula hoops or balancing beanbags on their heads to reach the finish line - not shoving a pointed weapon into babs' swollen trotter.

at least try to make your stories believeable babs, or just fuck off. tbf tho, it would have sounded equally as unrealistic of she had claimed to have joined in a parents' running race - especially without her old man cheerleader to spur her on. i fully imagine that babs did fuck all while at sports day except film content for reels and embarrass erin. in. front of her friends by shrieking at her manically from the sidelines of every race, interspersed with "weepy" moments about it being erin's last ever primary school sport's day, thus aggressively grabbing erin by the hair with her tippexed claws, to rub her snout in for a sniff. the poor girl will have death with more than enough humiliation already today, without having to deal with babs intended plans to crash the year six disco and make it all about her, her entire priority being to humiliate her daughter.

admittedly, i don't have kids but when i was a kid of erin's age, school discos were for the kids. since when was it a thing that kids had to bring their families along to? because at that age, i can't imagine anything worse in terms of an eleven year olds' desperation to not be humiliated by their parents. is this actually a thing,? is it a "brummy" thing? or is it something babs has INVENTED?! and by "invented", i mean that she has decided that erin ain't gonna be having fun at a disco without her, so has planned to crash the party - regardless of the total absence of any other parents. either way, she's gonna be up. wayyy past her toddler bedtime - as are the kids - how will babs cope?! there will definitely be tears and tantrums before bedtime - likely with steve having to step in a drag babs out of the school bathroom about she's having a breakdown about "the last ever disco at primary school" - ethan's remaining years at primary school entirely overlooked.

I doubt they would have insurance for parents to throw javelin. Maybe egg and spoon race and a few others you have mentioned already.

To be fair to her most primary schools use foam javelins - which are total crap to actually throw but much less dangerous than 8 year olds with spears

My kids Primary School used to do the Yr 6 leavers party for the whole family,,,,,,,, until I got onboard in my daughters year and put a stop to it and said it's just for the kids and they all agreed

None of my children had parents that weren’t on the pta at the party. They even ensured that my Sen son had his own TA there so I didn’t go and he could be like the other children. Wtf goes to the yr 6 party?!

I’ve never known it and I’ve been a KS2 teacher for 19 years Have taught many a year 6 class and never had the parents at a leavers party, unless they were PTA volunteers. Teachers past and present, TAs, any school staff who want to come but not families! Maybe it’s a Brum thing - did Babs invent it when she was 11?!?

Please can you explain what fruit day is? Babs has only told us about 37 times so I’m still unsure.

Oh Christ Babs has snuck a cocktail in a can to a year 6 leavers party... she’ll be up on the desks next “dancing”. God help Erin

Wonder if she dusted off the old "Let's Get Ready To Rhumble" routine or the Maui rap?!

Tbf...I should have followed the great Babatha Christie and punctuated the sentence thus.." fling. A. Spear. willy. nilly .around.kids"....
