I am fully prepared to be told I'm overthinking!
Dd (9) is disabled but in mainstream school. She is currently doing a 2 week block of daily swimming. She has a part time 1:1 who has been going along to help her with changing. The school asked if she could wear joggers to school for the duration, as she normally wears leggings under a pinafore dress (her preference) as leggings onto damp skin might be awkward for her. I bought her 1 pair to see how she got on so washed and tumbled them Monday night ready for today. She's also been taking a clean pair of underwear to put on after swimming, because I just think it's nicer than putting worn knicks back on.
So this morning she fished her joggers out of the dryer along with the second pair of pants she wore yesterday, and put them on. All fine.
She told me when I picked her up that her 1:1 had told her that she shouldn't wear the same pants two days running. Dd said she told her they'd been washed and dried overnight but that "Miss kept saying it wasn't nice to wear pants two days in a row".
I can only assume from this that the woman thinks I've sent my child to school wearing yesterday's unwashed knickers and I'm a bit . I'm a bit scatty but I'm actually quite offended if she thinks I don't ensure my kids have clean pants on each day! Dd is always smart and appropriately dressed, tidy plaited hair etc (going in, at any rate, home time is a whole new story!).
Her 1:1 is lovely and dd adores her but she's made a few comments that make me feel like shes a bit over involved, and dd was really puzzled by this exchange and kept seeking reassurance that her pants really were clean and it had been ok to wear them.
I feel like I want to say something but not sure what, or how, or if I'm being U to even pay it any mind and should just chalk it up to an odd comment!
Really long story about pants, thanks if you made it to the end.
