The mum was sat in her car, possibly waiting for her kids to come out of school.
She revealed she would wait until the last minute to get out to avoid the other parents.
Carmen said: “I am the mum that waits till the very last minute to go and pick the kids up.
“I can’t deal with people.
Claiming she ‘hated everyone,’ Carmen said she avoided mum groups as much as possible.
She continued: “I don’t like those mums that are standing in a f**king group, stuck up their own b**holes wearing DryRobes.”
Carmen also joked that they all stank in their oversized rain coats.
“I just take my car. So I don’t have to speak to people,” she added.
It seemed that the mum’s vent on clicky school mums was something many others could relate to.
The video went viral on her TikTok account @carmslouise97 with over 1 million views and 77k likes.
Plenty of people took to the comments agreeing with her statement and revealed they did the exact same thing.
One person wrote: “Omg the dry robes is TRUE.”
Another commented: “For 3 months I pretended I didn’t speak English.”
“I am the mum that pays for breakfast and afterschool club to avoid people and all those mums you speak of,” penned a third.
What to wear on the school run
PTA Chairwoman Emma Kent’s School Run Style Tips:
- Avoid the Gym Gear Trap:
- Change out of workout clothes for the afternoon pick-up to avoid looking lazy or unhygienic.
- Leave Pyjamas at Home:
- Never turn up at school in pyjamas as it suggests a lack of effort and can lead to unflattering labels.
- Be Cautious with Bold Fashion Choices:
- Avoid leopard-print leggings and mixing boho pieces with animal print. Stick to styles that suit you best.
- Carry an Emergency Kit:
- Keep a spare top or nice jacket in the car for unexpected spills or stains, and oversized sunglasses to hide tired eyes.
- Embrace Bargains:
- Proudly share thrift finds but avoid second-hand pyjamas or swimsuits without hygiene stickers.
- Don’t Be a Copycat:
- Avoid copying another mum’s style too closely to prevent gossip. Praise the other mum’s taste if it happens accidentally.
- Dress Age-Appropriately:
- Avoid overly revealing outfits and stick to classy, not trashy, looks, especially if over 35.
- Always Wear a Bra:
- Ensure you’re wearing a bra to avoid awkward conversations with teachers and unwanted attention.
- Choose Jeans Carefully:
- Avoid low-slung skinny jeans that create a muffin top. Opt for mom jeans for a flattering and comfortable fit.
- Beware of School Gate Gossips:
- Avoid showing up in scruffy clothing or with wet hair as there are always mums at the gates who will notice.
- Brag About Your Bag:
- Use a stylish yet practical tote bag instead of a bag for life from a supermarket.
- Ditch Crocs and Socks:
- Avoid pairing Crocs with socks. Opt for versatile Chelsea boots for a stylish and comfortable look.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “It’s funny cus I wear my dry robe but also my head phones and sunglasses so nobody can approach me, I can’t see or hear you huns.”
“Same! Cannot stand playground politics,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “I’ve been a school run mum for a few months now and it’s horrible.”
