Ok so my kids go to a dance class and one of the dads who drop off/pick up is really starting to grate on me.
First it was the modelling portfolio he brought to show the teacher at the end of one of the lessons and the loud comments about how she is so much more attractive than other kids her age - she is cute but no cuter than any other of the kids in the class. Fine I thought - everyone thinks their child is the cutest....
The next week he was quibbling with the teacher (who doesn't even mark the exams) over his childs exam mark. Seems like she did pretty well but didn't get the top mark whatever that is (no idea myself as never entered mine for the exams).
A couple of weeks later he is talking to the dance teacher about how he was moving his child to a different as her teacher had said at parents evening that she was slightly behind when he knows for a fact that she is the cleverest in the class and gifted.
Fast forward to the last lesson and he was telling her about how his youngest is getting very frustrated because the other children in the class aren't learning the steps as fast as she is (even though he does recognise she does learn them unusually fast!). This is all at foghorn volume and in front of the other parents picking up. I'm all for being proud of your kids but wtf? Does anyone on here know anyone like this?
