To get upset over meeting with DS's teacher today

[caramellokoalalover]

DS's reception teacher asked to speak to me today about DS (5). Apparently a few weeks ago a parent complained to the school that DS had taught their child to say 'silly bastard'. School gave DS benefit of the doubt, not having overheard anything themselves, said nothing to me, and gave the whole school a talk about not using bad language.
Parents went into school on Monday and said they had witnessed my DS telling their child at a birthday party on Saturday to say 'silly bastard'. Teacher has told me they need to take it up with DS and inform me what's happening.
Feel so upset by it all. AIBU to get so upset over first 'called in to the school' offence? Anyone else feel like shit when their DC get into trouble?

COMPLAINED TO THE SCHOOL? TWICE?

dear sweet little baby jesus

No, I'm not the parent, but I do work in a school office, and I have many years' experience of the things parents complain about and the often strange reasons why they do. And close to the top of the list is any insinuation that the teacher doesn't instantly believe every word their pub says....

Honestly OP. You and your DS will be pissing yourselves laughing about this when he's a teenager

How do you feel about the teacher calling your child a "lively character", teacher speak for PITA!

Have we suddenly evolved into some amazing world where kids never swear and if they do its a major catastrophe??? ALL KIDS SWEAR and it isnt a problem so long as they learn when to do it...like we all did.Why? Because swearing is words....just words...Those parents have well over reacted. He 5!!!! This is more of a funny story than something to complain to the school about...I hope you feel OK by now OP... This is a major overeaction on their part. Dont let others make you feel anything bad. Know you are doing just fine.

All 5 year old's don't swear . I agree it's not a huge deal, but it can't be written off as "oh, never mind, all kid's swear" either. Not at 5.

do you know the parents I know it is a school thing but could you apologise on your sons behalf I am not normally one for saying approach parents but it does seem it might get out of hand, I can imagine the horror on your face tell your son off for swearing and see how it goes 5yr olds can be silly but he needs to stop
