    I’m trying to work out what the dress code was based on here, polo shirts for the boys and check shirts for the girls.

    Need to include a person of colour, a disabled, an >60, a homosexual, and one of vague gender grouping and we're there. Need a bigger sofa though.
    Sadly they are actually watching porn.....

    They are holding a football so you know they are excited about the football.
    Girls drink generic unlabelled red drink men drink green bottle beer
    Also for some reason they have to sit really closely on a sofa far too small for the number of people

    I used to think the same but then I saw something online which claimed the complete opposite. That, as @The undeniable truth and @WillisWasTheWorst said, filtering too early causes much worse traffic jams than if traffic continues to flow in both lanes for longer.

    I was definitely in the minority, when my kids were little, of being a mum who always bought their birthday cakes. Would hear tales of fellow mums being up until the early hours of the morning baking their homemade creations for their little darling - I popped out to M&S every year for the kids’ favourite Colin The Caterpillar and had zero cake-related stress. One year I almost caved - asked the kids if they wanted me to have a go at doing a home made monstrosity (as it would have been as I have never baked in my life); they replied no thanks as Colin was better than all the homemade cakes their friends’ mums produced.

    "Competitive mums" is one of the sad things about parenting. Cake baking, best kids parties,best kids exam results, best kids dancing/football achievements etc. I'm sure it wasn't as bad pre-facebook. Dad's don't get/feel the same sort of pressure ?

    For me, it was more working at a tech firm where I was one of the oldest people and all the Gen Z are talking about making sourdough and crocheting their own clothes. It was like the 1950s again. Fashionable stuff today which was extremely unfashionable to a Gen X like me.

    What about the shyte attempts at poetry read by a man with a regional accent attempting to capture the essence of football to make you buy a fizzy drink or something

    You know there’s someone out there who thinks that kind of thing is witty and clever. That’s the ******* tragedy.

    I agree about competitive parents and Facebook - one of the reasons I don’t bother going on it. I don’t agree that it’s exclusively the domain of mums though - trust me, there are plenty of competitive dads out there. When my youngest was at Junior School, one of the dads was effectively banned from the touch line at sports matches because of his behaviour.
    Happy to say that we’re not all like that though - after the kids’ recent A Level and GCSE Results, all the parents I’m friends with just checked in with each other to make sure all the kids had got in to where they wanted to be and were happy with their results. No one announced what the specific results were, nor did they compare their kids’ results with others - nor did the kids themselves. Just the way it should be.

    I think they're different things and I think one is much worse than the other, because it involves pressure on the kids rather than mums just trying to out do each other.

    I do cajole my daughter from the touchline at football, but I'm very careful to only use positive reinforcement and encouragement. At this age its vital that sport is something they enjoy (she's 8) not necessarily something they are good at.

    Fortunately she is good.

    Haha in two years I can genuinely put together such a gathering
    Nothing at all wrong with positive shouting from the touchline. I found the kids always preferred noise to silence, (as instructed by school coaches when we went to watch).

    Positive support is fine - the dad in question used to shout at all the kids (not always in a positive way) and used to scream instructions to them, which sometimes were the opposite of what the coaches were telling them to do. To make matters worse, he didn’t fully understand the rules of the girls sports he was watching (it came to a head during a game of rounders of all things) and everyone was relieved when he was given a “red card” by the PE staff.

    Today was supposed to be a special day. I had finally collected ten stamps entitling me to a free coffee. Usually I never keep a card long enough.

    Eagerly I anticipated the exchange, how I would jauntily approach the counter, card in hand, eyebrows raised in anticipation of the warm reception I would receive as a valued and honoured customer.

    In the event, the barista looked at me like the freeloading scum I clearly am and even tried to quibble the number of stamps. I got my coffee, but it tasted bitter in the ashes of the moment ruined (well, ok it was fine and very nice with a biscuit).

    But why can’t we all live in peace?
