DS1 was off school last week with a chest infection, I called the secretary on Monday morning and explained and she agreed I should keep him off.
Went to nursery yesterday and the other mom's were handing in money for Father Christmas which I asked about and teacher went off and handed me a letter they had been given last week.
On reading letter when I got hope it said they were holding a "Family Christmas Craft Day on the 1st Dec and that we had to sign to say if we wanted to help out dc make their Christmas cards ect.
I handed it back to the teacher when I went to pick up ds and she said it was a first come, first served thing and that I was a surplus parent but could help yr 1&2 instead. Now I know it would be lovely to help the other children who's moms can't be their but what about my ds, what's he going to think when the other mom's are there and I'm not.
TBH it has really upset me, it feels as though he has been penalized for being ill. Would it be wrong for me to ask the teacher to explain the policy, surly if it's first come first served they should make allowances for children not there.Maybe see how many parents want to help then do some sort of draw? I wouldn't mind but I am always first to fill any form in, If they had rang me I would have got someone to watch he boys while I went to collect and sign the form.
Any thoughts (ps have been awake all night worrying about it )
