Sticking your kids into finishing school...
So - How about it?
My daughters are fast become seriously rude, selfish ill-mannered oiks...
Anyone know of any decent finishing school I can send them to to clean them up and get them to behave like real ladies (and prepare themselves to land a wealthy partner) and perhaps even train the 'Austalian' out of them?

The middle son, end of last year around graduation, decided he was a real aussie bogan
even acquired the accent for 3 months
. Rude, pissed, I couldnt understand a word he was saying either
The phase wore off thankfully, but it was one hell of a summer

Pack them off to a relative. That's what we will do.

Re: Sticking your kids into finishing school...
Could you pack them off to do a tutoring gap year in UK? They are usually in boarding schools where the tutors have to set a good example. Might be cheaper than a finishing school. Alternatively, you could check out whether there is another series of Ladette to Lady they could apply for!

We have several plans and ideas on this front - Americas, France etc.
