"Fierce style battles are being waged between Queensland mothers during the daily before and after-school drop-off."
If these women really are devoting time and effort to out-dressing one another, I have good news for them- you've got spare time on your hands! Go and do something useful with it.
Some of you need to develop a sense of humour.
I've got a sense of humour, but only when it's funny.
The yummy mummy routine works best when the kidlets are in kindy. Once they hit primary school and beyond, the yummy bit drops off a bit. I never considered myself a yummy mummy at all because I dont like wearing make-up etc; but I NEVER go outside the house in trackie dackies. Unless I am going for just a walk.
I would usually wear jeans a nice top, sunglasses if it was sunny, and ok shoes. Actually, I think the article is rather inept to be honest; if you dont wear trackies you are automatically classified as showing off and trying to be a yummy mummy? Weird.
What does racial origin (colour of skin) have anything to do with this. Many of the 'non white' complexioned ladies (whose origins many be Indian, Filipino, Eurasian, etc) often looked the best dressed and were more conscious of their appearance (as part of their cultural pride) than anyone else? Weird.
Oh c'mon, just because it is written in the media doesnt make it true!
Why post 'stupid white people' in a story about mothers collecting their kids from school. Hell, you all had mothers who did this.
Boy, talk about someone writing a stupid article, concocting a 'theory' and then making gross assumptions to support it. And then you guys come in like it is the gospel truth. Sheesh!

I agree, Prospector. I have regularly walked a grandchild into school and haven't noticed any of this supposed competition. Most parents simply drive their car to the school gate and drop their little darlings off there and then try to get out of the traffic congestion as fast as they can. Who knows if they are still in their PJs and slippers -
I used to drop my brothers off in my PJs.. couldnt be bothered to get changed at that time in the morning after hsc:
