Picture the scene - End of the day outside reception. Parent who is well known for parenting loudly and ensuring everyone knows how advanced her son is arrives.
Examples of loud parenting in the past include:
- her son always carries his reading book in his hand so we can all see which one it is, instead of putting it in his bag like the rest of us.
- talking loudly to the teacher daily about his achievements.
- inviting children over for "reading" dates when they were in nursery!
- singing Jolly Phonics in the playground.
Anyway tomorrow is the nativity, of course we all know that her son will be playing Joseph, so did she really need to throw her arms open as she arrived and exclaim loudly "I'm here, where's Joseph" - I managed to hold back the snort, but I really struggled with the smirk, which may have been a bit too obvious.
So was I reasonable or is the truth that I am just jealous that her DS is far superior to mine?
