It's always the same ridiculous story with the same picture of the mum ,"raging". AIBU to think local newspapers must just contact anyone with an angry FB post to try to get some sort of story? Bet this lad loves it that his mum is discussing his pooing in a newspaper.

Fuming mum pulls son out of school over tuna sandwich row

She has now pulled Jayden out of Thanet Primary School, east Hull, and says he will not return until he receives an apology for "making him upset and hungry".

I first thought the story was about entering a Roger Moore impersonation competition, she'd have won

Ok at great expense I have searched for the answer - No!

However, after a day off, Miss Jarvis sent her son back to school after she was warned she would get a fine for unauthorised absence - but claims the school have now "backed down" and assured her it will not happen again.

Of course they have.

If in doubt about attracting a fine for unauthorised absence, get a story in the media. Does the job every time.

The story is about a tuna sandwich and a child having a poo. Not eyebrows.

What the hell has she got stuck to her face?? How can she not see what a complete prat she looks like with those ridiculous things stuck to her face?

Those are her fucking eyebrows and you know it

Why is The Record reporting on a story from 2019? There's even a follow up where the mum admits he was offered a hot meal but he didn't want the option offered!

TheLogicalSong · 19/01/2024 19:07

Only being offered one option for lunch is a bit crap - reminds me of my school days in the 80s. You'd have thought things would have moved on in 40 years. I agree taking the boy out of the school and involving the press is a huge overreaction to what sounds like an isolated incident.

Headbandhair · 19/01/2024 19:07

I definitely couldn’t be a teacher. I’m genuinely surprised there are actually any left.

GrimDamnFanjo · 19/01/2024 19:04

Sorry mum "removed him" from his previous school.

GrimDamnFanjo · 19/01/2024 19:02

I think there's a massive back story if I've read the report right?
It mentions the son only being at the school for 8 months after being moved from another school...

Too right. Anyone who says her eyebrows look to have been drawn onto the photo later with the paint tool, like I just drew on this moustache, is just being a total meanie. Be kind everyone.

Look. If you don’t want people to mock your eyebrows, then don’t draw on mockworthy brows. It’s pretty simple.

OP you should have titled your post "fumming" 🤣🤣🤣

Stop eyebrows shaming it's nothing to do with the story. Let's see your eyebrows if they're so perfect.

'Eyebrows shaming' 🤣🤣🤣

The comedy eyebrows are her choice to draw on, so hardly 'shaming'.

What's with the eyebrows

QueenBean22 · 19/01/2024 18:50

I think there should have been more options than just a stinky tuna sandwich. If he was having a poo for that long that he missed all of the hot food surely the school should have been concerned about him

eyebrows are ridiculous but nothing to do with this

"Stinky" and "poo" being on the same line doesn't here doesn't sit well with me !

On the contrary, anyone with eyebrows like that will cause drama over anything...
