I really don't think IABU, but wanted to double check I'm not being precious!
When I collected my DS (Y4) from school yesterday, I waited in the playground as usual - leaning on the wall at the edge of the playground, next to where DS comes out.
So DS came out, and I was asking him how his day went, when I felt something tickling my neck. I assumed it was my hair blowing in the wind, but when I went to move it out of the way, something 'flew' off me and landed on the wall. I thought at first it was a bee or a wasp and was feeling lucky not to have been stung - then I noticed it was a bloody cockroach!
'Ew!' I said, and pointed it out to DS. 'THAT'S a cockroach?' says DS. 'But there's loads of those in our playground - we all call them shield bugs and play with them!'. Urgh...
I didn't have time to speak to the school there and then as had to dash off to somewhere, but AIBU to mention this to school? If they are all over the playground, surely they will be inside school too? It's an old building, and I know that roaches are common in large building, hospitals etc. but something should be done to try and get rid of them, surely? Or does the fact it was outdoors (though just outside the door) mean I will be mocked for being precious?
I kept itching all night last night just thinking about it!
