Insufferable Mothers:

Insist on buying gender neutral birthday gifts for their son.

Insist on holding gender neutral birthday parties for their son.

Insist that their son wears crushed strawberry coloured dungarees.

Insist on rounding out their child by tutoring them at home after school whilst listening to Dante's Inferno in Italian.

Force their child to take Italian language; yoga and saxophone lessons during any spare time he/she has.

Believe that Scouts are too militaristic.

Ban their child from wearing a kilt due to being too nationalistic and arcane.

Believe that swearing in literature represents social realism.
