To think this dad at school is a twat?

[verytellytubby]

I washed and sorted out my children's school uniform yesterday. I noticed that one school jumper wasn't ours and belonged to a boy in DS's class.

I took it in this morning and gave it to the boy's dad. I apologised and said my DS must have bought it home by accident (stating the bleeding obvious ). His reponse was 'it's been missing since Friday, why didn't you bring it in sooner?'

I was a bit shocked and said I only spotted it on Monday night when I was ironing.

I then made a joke saying 'oh well it's been washed and ironed'. He then said 'Well it's not good enough it should have come back on Monday'.

Twat. He's lucky to get it back. I haven't had one lost jumper back from Lost Property in the 5 years my dc have been at the school!

Or pin a note with a picture of a twat on his back

I was going to say something about ironing school jumpers but see even this is an emotive subject... but no, obviously everyone doesn't! Ironing for children? think I once ironed my dd's floaty dress for a special occasion...shoot me, but see my electricity bill first!

As a teacher, I always bank on a 3 week turnaround for missed stuff.

I wish I could not iron stuff. But it's impossible for me.

It's the first time I've ironed the school jumpers . I hate ironing but they looked like rags.

first class twat. Who does he think he is?

Now has anyone got my DD's school jumper and are you missing one? She came home last with with one at least 2 sizes too big. If as I suspect the jumpers were simply swapped round on hooks then your child may be finding it difficult to move in DD's jumper. I've put a note round about the big one any chance we can swap back soon please? (oh and washing and ironing are optional, just be pleased to see it back)

StayFrosty: perfect!

For the 2 days later comeback;
"Please make sure your son does not put his jumper on my daughter's peg again. It's not good enough."

ooh I like it catherinedenerve. cold and clinical and non- shouty or rude

Pin a note on his back

"As torn apart featured on Mumsnet"

God, How I hope his DW is a MNer......

I can just hear the conversation in my head now...

I taught my ds's to iron...before that always took the line 'don't worry the creases will fall out'

YANBU - 2 nd week back DS 6 came home with dirty jumper Monday so I washed it. He wore a clean oneTuesday, Wednesday and Thursday another clean one!! Thursday he comes home with 2 jumpers both of which are dirty I can't work it out as sure he has 1 clean and one dirty upstairs. The clean one was someone elses!! So DS went in on the Friday with the cleanest of the dirty jumpers and his classmates clean one for him

The Dad is a twat quite honestly

What a twat

What you should have done is screwed it up in a ball and then rubbed on the floor abit and handed it back to him seeing as he didn't want it washed and ironed and asked him if that fulfilled his requirements.

That is what I would have wanted to do. But really I would have probably said something like 'Ok, I'll remember that next time' and passively agressively 'forget' to return any more stray jumpers.

Was there not a muddy puddle you could have rubbed it in before asking 'well is that good enough?'

Blimey - I would have asked you if your DS could take my Ds's whole uniform home 'accidentally' next weekend

Utter tosspot - what a shame you didn't cut him down to size - still, I'm guessing you'll have plenty of other opportunities during the year

This is exactly the kind of situation the phrase "Well fuck you" was invented for...
