Long story but- it was sports day yesterday at ds1 primary school which I went to with ds2 (3) and dd (1). Nice day and all. We watched year 6 "fun" race which included some spray water bottles for fun. I have no problems with the water at all - thought it was a great idea BUT... some of the bottles were washed out kitchen cleaner bottles with the labels still on. I thought this was a bit silly at the time. Kids spraying what looks like dettol struck me as a bit irresponsible.
I got home, cleaned the kitchen top and ds2 grabs bottle and sprays me with it laughing. I therefore decided to write to the headmaster mentioning the above and the fact that I thought it was "a concern that they had not thought this was inappropriate" I ended the letter offering to be "chief label remover next year" my husband read it last night and didn't think it was OTT or too forceful etc.
Have just had a call from headmaster saying there were no bottles with labels on and a really "shitty" headmaster basically making me fee like I was 2cm high IYSWIM.
AIBU, I have never complained at all before and felt that if I wrote it would contain my thoughts between the two of us rather than blabbing it all over the playground. Perhaps it would have been better to speak to him but I was worried that it would sound bad and that other parents would hear it and that would start people thinking. Maybe I am over reacting and I shouldn't even be worried about the bottles. I feel a bit stupid now for even thinking about it.
