DS not in group photo on xmas display - I know I'm being precious!

My DS goes to preschool 3 full days a week which works out to be 6/10 sessions.

On one of the days he wasn't there they took a group photo of the children and I was a bit miffed to see yet another photo of something that's happened whilst my DS wasn't there (I feel like all the fun pics are taken on his days off!).

I can get over this of course but what has annoyed me is they've uploaded a picture of the children's Christmas display board and in the centre is a framed picture of the group photo mentioned above.

I mean on one hand I know I'm being pathetic and I'm probably overreacting to think my DS might actually look at it and then feel left out.

But at the same time I kind of want to bring in a cut out photo of my DS to add to the display or ask if they could take another one to include DS! He is part of the group afterall!!

Give my head a wobble please?!

Surely any day they took it would have some children missing?

Dear me. Your kid isn’t bothered, you are. Don’t make issues where there are none- you will struggle when he’s at school.

I’m a childminder and I would have the same issue as preschool, there is no day where everyone comes! That’s life 🤷‍♀️

He won't be the only child not in the photo. I'm sure he'll be included in future and others won't be.

That's life for pre-school. You'll get group pictures at school. As long as he's not sick on the day.

There will have other children missing too. If he's not there every day, what exactly do you want them to do OP?

I think you should send him full time. Only way to be sure he'll be in all the photos

Yea I know I know!

My eldest is at school and so far I've not struggled though thankfully! This is the first time I've felt this way.

I guess it would have been nice if they took several photos that week so all children were included. Ah well!

Head thoroughly wobbled - thank you.

We have the opposite - DD is full time and DH and I had a full on row about whether her Halloween painting was hung on the left or right at nursery.

She had two, they'd obviously done them on more than one day.
