I honestly don't know whether I should be mildly annoyed or not (parents' evening appointments)

The sheets for parents' evening appointments were put in reception today. The school does two evenings with appointments between 3.30 and 5.50. I will admit that I have been lucky in the past and have always managed to get one of the 5.50 appointments as this is the time I normally pick DD up due to working ft.

Anyway I pick DD up today and go to the two sheets of appointments for her class. Both the 5.50 appointments were taken. No problem as work are extremely good and I know will have no problem with me leaving 10 mins early.

What I don't know whether I should be Hmm about or not is both appointments were for the same child (one mother and (presumably) new partner and the other for I guess child's father) that I can very much understand as there is no way I could go to an appt with my ex. BUT the mother is the school receptionist/secretary.

On one hand I can see her writing her name in before putting them out so not giving anyone else a chance, but on the other I don't see why she should wait a couple of days before putting her name down. So I'm on the fence about my own AIBU Grin

The thing that sways me towards being slightly peeved is that I know she doesn't work that late as she's never there when I pick DD up (on a REALLY good traffic/P&R day it can be as early as 5.40) so why does she need one of the late appointments. So what do you think?

I think if you can happilly make an earlier appointment then its a waste of time and energy getting peeved about itm.

Maybe she's got to work late that day as it's parents evening?

Maybe her child is doing something in school that day (eg our prefects help out on parent consultation evening) so it's best if she takes the last appointment.

Maybe YANBU.

I can't see any reason why you're even thinking about this tbh

As I say, just mildly annoying
