AIBU? The PTA at my child’s school has decided to put on a Christmas party during the school day (probably an hour long or so). They get a drink, festive snack and gift, along with party games, but only if I pay £4.50 for this. I know we are not talking about a huge sum of money, but this is in school hours and if I don’t pay this, my child will be excluded from the event and sit in the classroom (possibly without any friends) and watch a Christmas film. The mental impact on my child of being excluded from the shared Christmas event is almost forcing my hand to have to pay. I have reached out to the school and had no response yet. AIBU to assume that they can’t do this? Thanks.
