Just returned from our sports day, DS2 in the flat race,v excited/ anxious has talked of little else in the past 2 weeks.
Anyway he did well and came 2nd or so I thought but wasn't given a place he hung around obviously waiting to be given one but was not. Oh well I thought I must have been mistaken, went over to speak to him, probably not a good idea as he became v distraught saying they had not seen that he had come 2nd. He was on the end in a lane which wasn't really a lane and was more difficult to see as was right next to the kids all spilling over on to the lanes.
My other DS1 said he thought his brother had placed and another boy came over to us to ask what had happened and why did he not get a 2nd place.
I was in a real quandary whether to mention it to the teachers, as what could they reasonably do after the fact and don't want to be 'one of those mums'. But really feeling my child's pain and the unfairness of it all, WWYD?
Please be gentle bearing in mind I was too chicken to post on AIBU
