Is it weird to give nursery a replacement class photo with my Ds photoshopped in

[Iloveknockknockjokes]

Just that really...Ds missed class photo day last Feb. Got around to ordering photos recently and the photo company kindly photoshopped him in and it looks great. I ordered two copies and was going to give one to the school to replace the one on the wall without him....DD going there next year though it'd be nice for her to see him....but when I rang the nursery the receptionist seemed a bit serious and quiet and just said she'll get the teacher to ring me back...now I feel a bit awkward like I'm being a bit precious and a bit embarrassed. Is this a bit weird?

Aww I love this! It’s weird but I love it

I think OP's request is totally on par with the bonkers way they often do class photos now anyway. In little batches then Photoshop them all together so kids standing next to kids they were nowhere near on the day??? So bizarre. Not a true "picture" of the time anyway. May as well pop another kid in.

oh OP. hahhahahha

fair play for asking.

Hold up, you are talking about a class photo from 10 months ago? As in nearly a year ago?

And your DS is now moved up and is in reception? (I imagine the nursery is the preschool attached to the school your child is now in reception in? Because you cant have gone back to a nursery he has zero ties with to ask this??)

I think it's very sweet if your dd is going there and will see the photo on the wall. Nice to find a familiar face, it will make her feel at home. Like a lot of people on this thread, many may find it a bit weird, but I can understand the reasoning behind it, so I think it's not that weird.

You'll now be known as 'the Photoshop mum'.blush
This for definite

This is hilarious. I will never, ever feel like I'm being precious about one of my children again!

I understand the company photoshopping your dc in. We’ve had that before at school, but to give a copy to school - that’s a bit weird, sorry. There’s always children that miss photos for various reasons - it’s a fact of school life.

Bonkers! But very sweet at the same time!

I understand why you got a copy for your self. Last year my DD missed class photo day, and it was the last photo before the school closed. They all got a copy and she's missing along with another boy.

They did an informal one on a school trip with everyone in and they all signed it and they framed them as a leaving present- the children dispersed around the world.

Oh god, please don't be that parent.

This is hilariouis.
Full marks to the Receptionist for managing to restrain her thoughts whilst she was on the phone

This is hilariously weird. I can't believe you did it.

You are insane.

Some people are obsessed with their children on a completely different level that I will never understand.

I don't think it's weird OP. The school should have been thoughtful enough to think of it themselves. The school my kids are at would think of that (they sufggest and offer photoshopping of any kids missing that day). It's not as though you were even asking the school to pay for a replacement copy!

OP, dont ever change. Very sweet, very weird and you will be remembered by the teachers for this.

Absolutely Batshit. I love it.

I love this, you are obviously a very lovely Mom (just a little bonkers in this instance )

It made me smile.

I think you’re bloody brilliant 🤣

A photo from last year what? im glad i never had baby brain

If the teacher calls, laugh a lot and say that you only made the original call for a dare and that you didn’t think anyone would be daft enough to fall for it.

Anyway the joke will be on all of us when this gets in the Daily Fail 😉

I’m trying the think what the headline will be 😅

Oh, just realised it was last year's photo. A bit long agothen, but agree with PPs that it's cute!

OP I just want to hug you. You may be my spirit animal
