My son is starting primary school in September this year. He has had cancer twice and had a bone marrow transplant and we nearly lost him on numerous occasions throughout his treatment. His first day of school is a day we thought would never happen.
We have neighbours who also have a child who is starting school on the same day and as this child is in full time private nursery my son does not know him well. Our neighbours have said that they are so looking forward to coming round to our house on the morning of the first day of school and having lots of photo's taken and then they are planning that we'll walk to school together (even though their child is younger so not starting until the afternoon session).
Am I being unreasonable to think that I want this special morning to stay a special morning and not invaded by other people wanting to take photo's etc. I will be an emotional wreck (not because it's his first day of school) but because never in a million years did we ever think we'd get to this day. Do you think she should respect the fact that we may want some space and privacy and just leave us alone? I am also due baby number 3 soon so will more than likely have my hormones all over the place!!
Please tell me if IABU. Thanks.
