there was a school event on recently and the parents were invited. I usually attend but couldn’t make it and sent my DH.
I told my DS6 that I wouldn’t be able to come but would send his dad. He was a bit disappointed. In any case my DH went along and my DS was not happy.
other parents and teachers saw this behaviour of course.
one of the mums said to my husband that it’s quite clear he needs to spend less time at work and more time with his son.
I am not particularly keen on this mum in the first place, so I’m unsure if that’s clouding my judgement - but it’s not a very nice thing to say? Everyone else was supportive and trying to help the situation, yet she came out with that..
