Speaker 1 (00:00):
You do you have a parent nemesis?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Because it looks like I'm developing them fast in my
fundraising push.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
At the moment, Alice's got a few. They're trying to
raise some money for her youngest child's school, and there's
a leaderboard for who's raised the most money, and Alie
is openly calling out those above her on the radio.
They are her.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Nemesis Grene from Tamperau.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Am I alone in this?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Or do you have do you have a nemesis?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Look, there was actually a group of about ten months
that would every single day get to the school in
the ten minute drop off and pick up like kissing
go zone, and the school bell wouldn't go until three pm,
but they would get there at two pm, all get
out of their cars and stand under the shelter, particularly
in winter, and they'd just stand around gossiping while I've
(00:48):
just had a c section with a ten pound two
and a half whopping baby and I'd have to part
all the way down the roads and walk holding the
freaking heavy capsule all the way to pick up my
son in the school. And I'd walked past them and
you think hello and back to the car, and they
do it every day, and one day I actually said
something like, you know, did you know that this zone
(01:09):
was for ten minutes only? And they all just sort
of sloop there and kept gossiping, and I thought, oh, no.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Do you know what?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
You were giving a voice to the voiceless. There are
this group of moms exists in every school. I reckon,
it's so annoying, and it's like, this is the pick
up and drop off zone for a reason. And then
to make it work, after the bell went, they stay
for another twenty minutes.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Sag the.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
That is not on, not on, You've got ten Nemesis
is right there, and I reckon that the rest of
Adelaide's shares, Yeah, right now, going with anyway, we thank you,
thank you, Renee. Let's go to Christy Down's Becky, what
hello have you got in the parent Nemesis world?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yes, this is going back quite a few years ago
and I decided that my son wasn't doing well in
public school, so I took him out and put him
into a private Catholic school. Pickup time came and I
pained a little picture of what these women look like.
The straw hair, the panda eyes, they were standing out
(02:14):
the front, and I was close to them, and one
of them says, yeah, I need to have a cone
just so I can face the kids to pick them up.
Oh god, I was a bit naive and I thought, well,
I've had a cone too, but mine was a McDonald And.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Thank you for so many reasons.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Jeez, great line.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Caitlin is sels renowns.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
All right, who's your parent nemesis?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Caitlin, I well, actually wasn't my specific nemesis. It was
actually the whole school's nemesis.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh this is good.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
So this one is an interesting one. This was for
a prestigious school in Adelaide, and there was a particular family.
If anything happened to their child, and I'm talking like
things from a stolen plunchbox to a pencil going wrong
or being bumped into or anything like that, this family
would send the other family an intent to sue if
(03:14):
they didn't remove their child from the school within fourteen days.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Wow, I got my goodness.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
It got so out of control that after about eight
months of this going on, the school actually turned around
and sued the parents and remove the children from the school.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Ah, the counter suit they're firing. Had all these messages
to people saying you brought the bottle to bottle of
plate night when you should have bought a plate and
therefore I want to sue you exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
It was so pathetic. Look, I remember this specifically, like
there was one little boy who went to school because
this was only primary school, let's say, and he had
a what do you call it, like a throat infection
that wasn't contagious, it was just something he had. It
was like tonson once or whatever. And he went to
school because the doctor said he was okay to go.
And the family got so I rated.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Over the fact that they sent this kid to.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
School that yeah, they actually went even went into courts
for that one.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Of Zarry Caitlin. All of a sudden, I am rethinking
my overt threats against these children.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
It definitely means a question, thank you, Caitlin. Well, who
are you going to give the tickets to? Matt? We
have to give out some Dean Lewis tickets for our callers.
They've had three excellent calls there. I don't want to
say no to Caitlyn because she might sue me, and
I don't want to say no to Becky, she had
such a great line. But I think Renee from Taparau
with the group.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
It was something that I thought, are you serious.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I know that your oh my.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Daughter is going to cry.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
We tried to get free CELD tickets and we couldn't
get them.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
There you go, your story. It just resonates with me.
And I don't even go to the kiss and drop zone,
so I know that there are a lot of people
in their cars right now going. Renee, I know those people.
I know exactly where you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Honestly, I'm at the school now.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
But I'm not in the kissing Okay, good, good good.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
That would have been awkward. All right, Renee, congratulations
