We were late for school this morning
Lines go in at 8:40, register is taken at 8:50, if your child is absent you have to ring by 9:20
So this morning we were running late because of my morning sickness, at 9am school are ringing me, I didn't answer because I was rushing around trying to get everyone ready and minimise the amount of time we were late by - as you would
So we arrive at school at 9:10 and I'm signing the kids in when the receptionist is all huffy saying "I rang you before why didn't you answer?" I said "because I was running late and busy" she said "well I needed to know why they weren't coming to school" I did this face and said "but they were coming to school, they were just late, if they weren't coming in I'd have rang by twenty past 9 as per the rules" (probably in a more clipped tone than I usually would)
Now I'd had a very stressful morning already and this seriously pissed me off! AIBU to think that sometimes people are more than 5 minutes late so give them bleeding chance before you assume they're absent? And also to think, what's the point in the 9:20 rule if the staff are going to ignore it?!
Willing to accept it's my hormones but this has really pissed me off!

AIBU?
To think school should give people a chance to be late?!
