I’m still thinking about this I know I shouldn’t be as she’s just a child but it’s really making me wonder whether I should have said something or if I was right to stay quiet:
I volunteered for an after school event at my child’s school where the kids watched a movie and had snacks. I was just there supervising with 4 other parents and about 5 teachers. It was very obvious I was a mum not a teacher so can’t excuse the child for not knowing. My daughter (younger year) kept coming to me for a cuddle and I told her to sit down, next minute this 10 year old girl charges towards me knocking my daughter over demanding to know when the film would start. I told her very shortly. Film had then started then the same girl came over to me and very demandingly told me her clip had fallen out and I need to keep it safe for her, I put it on the table next to me and said she can get it at the end. She kept making really angry faces at me. I walked a little further away but she kept coming up to me only and demanding things. There were many other adults there but she kept coming to me and shouting at me to do things for her. I kept being nice to her and asking her to sit down and watch the film.
what would you have done? I’m a little out off volunteering again if I’m being honest. I don’t want to use the word “brat” but that’s the type of behaviour she was displaying.
