I was sipping wine, chatting and really enjoying the school BBQ this afternoon, feeling uplifted to be living in such a great neighbourhood with lovely people. I was enjoying a sense of calm to think my kids were in such good company.
Little did I know my DS (5), meanwhile, was in the gym hall watching the entertainer and shouting 'We hate you clown' and getting up to bang on his suitcase during the show. A PTFA friend sought me out in the playground, AFTER the event to let me know. (I wish she had let me know earlier so I could've dealt with it at the time).
I witnessed a similar event last summer (boys on stage hitting and shouting at the clown) and remember looking round in shock thinking,
'Where are their parents?'.
I'm so embarrassed. He's a good kid normally.
What would you do? How can I make him realise what he has done?
