Was DH unreasonable to ask the neighbour's kids

to go inside at 9.40 this morning. There were 3 of them and they'd been outside on their trampoline (which buts right up to the fence) since 8.00 am singing at the top of their voices. Eventually we couldn't take it any longer as they started to sing a song from Frozen and they ramped up the volume until they were virtually screaming. DH called over the fence and asked them to go and sing inside.

Yes they have. Given that my replies to you reflect the vast majority of the other replies you've received.

I didn't say teachers were liars. I said that, given your general attitude, I wouldn't blame a teacher for just saying they had 'nothing negative' to say about your child. Because going by your attitude on here, if they did say anything you didn't want to hear they would get an earful from you and be accused of bullying, scaring and offending your little precious.

MayhemMostDays · 08/07/2014 12:52

So yes, you do still think teachers lie about childrens behaviour.

Brilliant.

I think we can discredit any input you've made to this conversation given you clearly know very little about children

Vintagejazz · 08/07/2014 12:54

Mayhem are your arguments so weak that you latch onto something I didn't actually say and keep producing it and some kind of evidence that you're right?

Well yes, looking back at your ridiculous arguments, that is probably all you have to latch onto.

Cartwheelsonthelawn · 08/07/2014 12:59

I don't think a teacher would lie about a child's behaviour, but I think if they're dealing with a very difficult and defensive parent they would choose their battles which is maybe what your dd's teacher is doing.
Or, given that she's so young. maybe there is nothing negative to say yet. But there might be in the future and I would hope you would accept criticism of your children with good grace and not verbally attack the teacher Mayhem.

MayhemMostDays · 08/07/2014 13:00

My arguments are that:

  1. Children should not play put at 8am but at 9.40am, it's fine for them to be outside.
  1. He should have knocked on the door and talked to the parents in a polite way rather than calling over the fence.

I don't see a weakness?

Vintagejazz · 08/07/2014 13:01

That's quite a sanitised and heavily edited version of what you've been actually saying on here Mayhem.

Gosh more personal insults Mayhem.

I wonder how on earth anyone on here could get the impression that you're a difficult or defensive person to deal with.

MayhemMostDays · 08/07/2014 13:03

No vintage it is exactly what I've been saying.

You just don't like me because you tried to bring my daughters behaviour into question for some bizarre behaviour and I made you look like a fool

MayhemMostDays · 08/07/2014 13:04

for some bizarre reason*

Vintagejazz · 08/07/2014 13:04

I think your view of your posts and general behaviour seems to differ vastly from the reality.

MayhemMostDays · 08/07/2014 13:07

Well vintage, I'm not the one who thinks teachers go around lying so I'm not too sure of your view of reality either.

MayhemMostDays · 08/07/2014 13:10

According to you, my dd1 (who you have never met) is about to be excluded from school - but the teachers are telling me she is really well behaved.

And your questioning my view on reality?

MayhemMostDays · 08/07/2014 13:12

When do you think they will tell me?

Maybe they won't.

Maybe they will just send her home one day without telling me why.

Or maybe they will see me approaching the school and lock all the doors, pulling all women and children inside to safety first.

Or maybe they will post armed police on the gates and put a Helicopter in the sky to track me as I walk to school. Then ambush me when I least expect it.

Oh vintage, you are quality Grin

Bouttimeforwine · 08/07/2014 13:14

Have you actually read the posts back mayhem

Nobody has said your kids are spoilt or naughty. It has been talked of in general terms, yet you seem to have taken the comments personally, hence the defensive posts. You are seeing slights where there are none, and you are reading things in what has been posted, that hasn't actually been said.

It's actually become a bit sad now rather than the fun it was, as i really do think you are quite serious. I did think that what you were posting, was quite tongue in cheek, but now I'm not so sure.

Vintagejazz · 08/07/2014 13:15

Mayhem will you please stop making things up? It's becoming a bit tedious.

MayhemMostDays · 08/07/2014 13:15

Oh yes, my posts of armed police smacks of seriousness Wink

Bowlersarm · 08/07/2014 13:15

What are you on about Mayhem? Confused

Maybe you should start a thread about your dd instead of hijacking the ops?

MayhemMostDays · 08/07/2014 13:18

Vintage calls teachers liers and you ask me what I'm on about?

Talk about pack mentality

Vintagejazz · 08/07/2014 13:20

No I didn't. When you defended your attitude in an earlier post by saying that a teacher had last night told you she had 'nothing negative' to say about your daughter I replied that maybe any teacher would be afraid to say anything negative about your child given your propensity to exaggerate and go around accusing people of being bullies and offensive.
That is not 'calling teachers liars'.

MayhemMostDays · 08/07/2014 13:20

Yes there are plenty of digs about my dc.

I've just read your posts bouttime - no humour in any of them. Tut Tut. thought you was all about the fun Wink

Bouttimeforwine · 08/07/2014 13:20

I'll repost my earlier questions

How do you get on with your neighbours? Have you really ever retaliated as you described above or are you just enjoying the arguing as I have? Are you really as unreasonable in real life?

TheLovelyBoots · 08/07/2014 13:20

Mayhem, Vintage didn't call teachers "liars", she said that if you were a certain kind of parent you would probably get a varnished account of your daughter's behavior at school. Which is true.

This whole thread has jumped the shark. Mostly because of your belligerence.

MayhemMostDays · 08/07/2014 13:21

Of course it is vintage.

That's exactly what you are saying.

That the teachers are lying to me about dd1s behaviour.
