For thinking of speaking to this school mum

Yesterday at pick up me and DS heard some boys from his class talking about the school choir that has just been set up. I think there was around 5/6 of them. We heard them saying how they weren’t going and one of them said “I’m not joining the choir because I’m not gay” then came the laughter of the rest of the group.

When we got into the car DS started crying. He said he wanted to join the choir but didn’t now after hearing those comments.

The boys are year 4 so 8/9 years old. I think this kind of talk at this age (or any age actually) is unacceptable. I know who the mum is of the boy who made the gay comment. I was so annoyed yesterday that I was thinking of having a little chat with her on Monday. WIBU to do this?

Unless she’s a really close friend I wouldn’t!

Speak to the school. Never speak to the parent

Yes it needs addressing in school.

Never a good idea to speak to other mums. If you want to do something, share what you overheard (homophobic language etc) with the school.

Speak to the school not the parent
