A MUM-OF-SIX has lifted the lid on what it’s really like re-joining the school scene after a almost two decades and she’s not impressed with the “new breed” of mums running the show.
Carla Hoskins, who had her first child at 18 and her youngest ten years later, has gone viral on after ranting about how school life has completely changed – and not for the better.
A mum revealed the biggest issue with the new generation of school mums
Carla has a decades age-difference between her kids
In the hilarious clip, Carla confessed she had a ten-year gap between her third and fourth child because, as she bluntly put it, she needed to “switch up baby daddies”.
Now, with her youngest, , just starting reception, she says she’s found herself completely out of sync with modern-day school mums.
Carla told her followers: “The class groups – do you know? Well in his school anyway, no one sends out party invites.”
The TikTok star admitted she made the mistake of declining to join the class group chat at first, only to later find out she’d missed loads of invites.
At first she thought the parents were “just being rude” until she realised it’s because parents simply post a single invite on the WhatsApp groups she declined to be in.
She fumed: “What the f**k? Why does no one print sh*t out anymore or tell you?”
Carla said she’s baffled by how hyper-organised and over-sharing the new generation of school mums are, calling them “next level”.
And while she’s finally joined the group, she’s not exactly thrilled about it.
She says she keeps it on mute and only checks it once a week for any party invites.
Carla said she was stunned when she checked the chat before the school and saw mums chatting about what time their kids went to bed that night.
She joked saying that she didn’t “give a f****ing sh*t”, nor does she want to know “the ins and outs of their a*hole”.
Parents’ reactions
The brutally honest video has hit a nerve with parents online, racking up thousands of views and sparking debate among mums who either love or loathe the endless stream of school WhatsApp messages.
Many agreed with Carla’s no-nonsense approach, while others admitted they rely on the group chats to keep up with the chaos of modern school life.
One mum related to Carla’s party invite shenanigans, saying: “Yup, the party venue change was in the WhatsApp group. I had no idea it existed. Child in tears because we couldn’t find the party.”
Another added: “I reluctantly joined one; it’s muted and archived 24/7.”
A third said: “I learnt a lot about school mums when my eldest started school, I vowed never to join a WhatsApp group.”
But not all mums oppose the school WhatsApp group.
One mum said: “I need the group so I can get the key info. Otherwise I’d have to give up my job so I could read all the emails the school sends.”
Another added: “I am the type B parent that puts a message in the WhatsApp group saying “is it PE today”, it’s like having a school PA with the organised mums.”
Drop-off drama
