Omg!! What an experience!!
Yesterday was DD second taster session at primary school but my first time dropping off.
What is with the over dramatic performances?
So much happened in a short hour it's unreal!
1- other kids climbing up the school gate (fine up to them) I don't like DD doing that so asked her to get down.
2- teacher says "say bye to everyone and come in" DD says bye and walks off, I say bye and walk off to my car. On the phone by my car and when the other parents come over one asks "didn't you want to stay?" Well no, I said she's fine and I've got things to do.
3- get in my car and try to get out the car park when two mums chatting are blocking my turning signal. Saw me and I said what I was trying to do would you mind moving. "Well I think if you drive your car like this and do that you'll be okay". Eerrmmm okay then. I said that I'd be fine and be out quicker if I could just swing in that gap.
4- turn up again to pick DD. Same mums there say nothing. The min DD come out and is with me she says " oh I think we need to chat. I know you're not used to dropping off and picking up so"
I stopped her there. I said I'm not offended I'm just in rush. I'm just here to drop my dd off and pick her up again and walked off!
Is this sort of questioning and crap an everyday school gate thing? If so, how do you all cope?!
I don't get why anything that I was doing her business especially my driving. I think she aaa just annoyed she had to move her conversation. Also, why should I stick around and watch my child and cry? My dd is confident and didn't need me.
