To speak to the school?

I've just been to collect my son from his school and he's told me that he won't be cast in his school Christmas play but all the other children will.

I am fumming. I am going to go and speak to his teacher first thing tomorrow morning but I am so angry that I can't work out whether I'm being reasonable or not.

If the op gets any more Biscuit she will have a whole
Packet! Maybe she can share them with Jesus or Mary?

MrsOakenshield · 17/09/2013 21:47

I'm really disappointed the OP hasn't returned.

PenelopePitstops · 17/09/2013 21:48

Hahahahahaha

Please come back tomorrow op

insummeritrains · 17/09/2013 21:49

OP, YANBU. I would be absolutely fumming too, if i were you. In fact, just reading your post makes me fumm on your behalf. I am going to have to have a sit down with a cup of tea and a hamwidge to calm myself. I would have a swim in my pool but Pudseyduck and Sharon are already swimming in it.

So, JulieMumsnet, if I complain that I find, "don't believe in God and all that shit" to be offensive and inciting religious hatred, will I totally bugger up this thread?

It's been a long time sinced I've had a good fumming. I hate being single.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 17/09/2013 21:55

Moi? Didn't you see the innocent face? Grin

LilRedWG · 17/09/2013 21:56

Off to bed now, but this thread has cheered me up massively.

MrsDV - you behave now!

HoopersGinger · 17/09/2013 21:57

Is this a reverse thread? Is OP the child who doesn't want to be in the play and is considering a ruse. He's going to tell the teacher his mum said no then tell his mum that the teacher said no because he told her his mum said no and he is here to gauge if this would make a cross section of mums "fumming" and blow his blag.

This explains why OP has not returned and is indeed fast asleep snuggled in a Skylanders onesie..

This is not very well thought out son.

youbethemummylion · 17/09/2013 22:00

actually woke the DH up with laughing at fumming and when I explained about fumming he didn't even have the decency to find it funny! I am absolutely fumming!

nameuschangeus · 17/09/2013 22:00

Maybe you could ask if he could have a small part as a fummer mummer. That is festive but not religious.

BabylonReturns · 17/09/2013 22:02

Where has the op gone?? Or has she just realised that Christmas is actually a religious festival and not just about Santa Claus and getting pissed???

3birthdaybunnies · 17/09/2013 22:04

I guess rockybalboa that she couldn't imagine that anyone would want to introduce something like religion into a party like Christmas, who would have guessed, next they'll be trying to introduce it into Easter too...

Turniptwirl · 17/09/2013 22:04

I wonder if this kid will sneak into church as a teenage rebel while his friends sneak into pubs?

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 17/09/2013 22:07

I would like to nominate this thread for "Sometimes I Feel Really Sorry For Teachers" of the week.

thistlelicker · 17/09/2013 22:08

Would be interesting
To know
If op celebrates Christmas, Easter and all major Christian holidays!

McNewPants2013 · 17/09/2013 22:09

this thread is funny.

Can it go to classics :)

I'm late to this and must have missed out a few posts when I read the thread because I didn't notice anyone say the magic words. Allow me:

"interesting first post op"

MrsTerryPratchett · 17/09/2013 22:40

"We atheists don't generally like to kill babies

How very dare you

"

I love MN. Really love it.

Also, as an atheist, I would actually like DD to be Mary in the Nativity (or a shepherd, I'm easy) and not be in assemblies. I'm loving the OP's work.

fishandlilacs · 17/09/2013 22:40

this thread is very much lighting the mumsnet touch paper isn't it?

how not to make a thread....

spelling mistakes
controversial opinions
drip feeding
pure idiocy

if i were the op i wouldn't be coming back either. hanging my head in shame.

NK493efc93X1277dd3d6d4 · 17/09/2013 22:56

Yeah go on - perhaps march in there and demand to know why your child is the only child in the school to have been excluded from the Xmas play. Threaten to knock the teachers about a bit - that should do it! ....Are you for real?

Salmotrutta · 17/09/2013 23:04
