I’m a nursery teacher, there are five mums at drop off – my favourite doesn’t even get a backwards glance from their kid
SAYING goodbye to your kids at nursery affects every parent differently.
Some of us can’t bare to say goodbye, while others can’t wait for a few hours of peace and quiet.
But one nursery teacher has revealed the five different types of mum’s when it comes to drop off – and there’s one who doesn’t even get a backwards glance from their kids.
Amy, a nursery teacher from the UK, shared a TikTok video to her account, @amynurseryteacher, analysing the different types of school mums.
She said: “Different types of nursery mums…” she added “Which is the most annoying on that first day when all the children are crying?” in the caption of the video.
The first type of mum was ‘the constant waver,’ this kind of mum won’t stop waving at her child until they’re fully out of sight.
Next up is the mum who can’t bare to see her little one go, aka, the crier.
Another typical mum seen at drop off is the one who fuels up on her social needs and stands around having a chat with the other mums rather than seeing her little one off.
There’s also the mum who can’t wait to have a few hours of peace and quiet – often known by nursery teachers as the ‘the drop and run for your lifer.’
The nursery teacher also revealed there was one type of mum who would often peep through the gate even after the kids have gone in and are settling down for the day.
But Amy’s favourite kind of mum at the school run was the one who never get a backward glance from their kid.
One person wrote: “I’m non of them I don’t even get a bye nothing as soon as the door is open he runs in, I just stand there for a sec like oh bye then lol.”
The nursery teacher said: “Haha my favourite type.”
The video has since gone viral with over 180k views and over 7,000 likes.
Mums quickly took the comments section of the video to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “The drop and run ones are the best.. no fuss and just leave us to get on with our job and bonding with the child.”
Another person commented: “I’m the drop and go mum I have to be cause she screams before we even get in the building.”
I’m totally the chatter. I talk way too long to staff,” penned a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “I’m the constant waver and now I’m anxious about it thanks.”
“Sort of cringing at myself now… I’m the waver hahahahha,” claimed a fifth.
