School places for none workers....

Bumblebee57 · 2021-01-15 21:47:22

Aibu I know this sounds mean but i know the 2 sets of parents very well so I know no vulnerability etc in the home but me and oh are key workers...not front line but nhs supply and food manufacturing we maanged to get a place but had to go into detail with our job roles letters from our work places etc to secure the places now i am annoyed that 2 separate families have got places the one her oh is a keyworker but she doesnt work so there are 2 kids in school and a mom at home but the second really got my angry the parents are separated the dad sees the child on a weekend (all weekend friday to sunday evening) hes apparently a keyworker the mom doesnt work never has and the child is in school based on his dad being a keyworker. Like i said i have known these families very well for over 5 years each I know very personal stuff so i am feeling like they are taking the pi$$ and getting rid of the kids esp the single mom who has 1 child doesnt work and using a parents status to get a place doesnt this defeat the object of closing the schools! Like i said if i didnt know them so well i wouldnt notice as it could be any reason and tbh nothing to do with me but these families i know well and we struggled to get a place even though were still working and i feel its more children taking the risk esp as the single parent has her bf there every weekend and the other family have a string of visitors...i mean they make that cummings bloke look law abiding!! Am i being mean or unreasonable?
