To speak to the teacher about this Christmas card?

[ChristmasInsanity]

My 6yo DS came home from school and was opening Christmas cards. He got one from a girl in his class which read 'to insanity's son, I don't like you. From child'

I dont know the parents or child so I was going to take it to the teacher tomorrow?

No need for Baileys Tinks

I would suggest that you should re-visit those childcare exams you undertook and while you're at it research 'empathy' ,'establishing communication and trust' and being 'non judgemental'.

And I would suggest that you chill out StillStaying before you combust

Im not goading Im not allowing people to "bully" me

Tinks and stillstaying will be exchanging rude christmas cards at this rate

I'm fine thanks love, all well here.

At that age my nephew was involved in a mutually loathing relationship with a girl in his class. As she handed out Christmas cards to all children in the class she said to him, "I'm only giving you a Christmas card because my mum made me." He replied, "Yeah. I've got one for you too, but only because MY mum made ME. I don't like you at all."

They'll probably end up married.

At about six ds did the same although wrote much worse. Fortunately because he looked so pleased with himself I intercepted the card and wrote another. No harm was done I didn't mention it to ds and he still doesn't know he didn't get away with it. Most likely a few weeks later they were friends again.

at mstumble. Whats your address StillStaying? Handbags at dawn?

I'm in a minority obviously but I thought that card was hilarious.

If one of my children got it, I would have asked them "well do you like so and so?". Odds are they would have said no - we would have had a brief chat about how it's okay not to like everyone and not good to want everyone to like you - but that you still need to be polite to them - and moved on.

It would not have crossed my mind to contact the teacher and I certainly wouldn't have considered it bullying!

Friendly, I was just about to say I bet that's what happened.

The girls mum made her write to everyone in the class.
Girl does it grudgingly but puts this comment in. Probably because she likes him, or he said he doesn't like Frozen or some such nonsense.

It's really not a big deal. She wasn't bullying. At least she wrote the card. :)

Handbags at dawn?, I'm busy perfecting my muay thai technique but I'll pencil you in at 12.00 midday for a stare down, how's that?

tinks! Better let me on the arrangement, I'll intermediate, or should I let you both get on with it....decisions....

Yes, mention it.

It will be a pain in the backside for the teacher in the last couple of days of term but it needs to be done otherwise the child will start thinking it's ok to do that.

I once spent the final lunchtime of term trying to work out who had written 'I hop you have a horibel time in heavun' on a RIP card that the girls in my class had made for another girl's guinea pig!!

At least this teacher will know who the culprit is!

Bring it on where the ferk can I get a handbag the size of a suitcase. Failing that, where can I get eyeballs the size of Marty Feldman.

I would definitely mention it to the teacher.If it had been on a scrap of paper at school it would be different.A christmas card is meant to go into the child's family and put on display.I think it is nasty and humiliating.I would certainly want to know if any of my DC did this.

I've used samsonite ,I always forego the handbag .

Don't worry about the eyeballs, I'll lend you my glass eyes.

Nasty and humiliating.. spoken like a true adult Guess who doesnt write cards here and guess who's child doesnt write them either.

That's actually kind of funny. I'm sure he doesn't like her either.

I wouldn't worry about it.

DB had a girl like that in his class. Told him she didn't like him and she'd never be his friend. Teacher reprimanded her on it and made them play together. They were friends the rest of the year.

I'd talk to the teacher about it, let her give the class a talk about manners and being nice to people.

You can see the true nature of a person by what they laugh at.

I used a samsonite once when i went on my hols, bloody hell i was over the limit with just a couple of frocks in there, you're playing real dirty here, very admirable

Reminds me of a hand-made card I got off a child following one of my student placements in uni. She was six or seven:

'If you don't come back I WILL KILL YOU' (capitals her own)

She obviously wasn't genuine since I never went back and I'm here to tell the tale.

See you soon Tinks < throws a death stare in for good measure> but where is OP?, It's fucking annoying when they don't back up their own thread .

Come on OP, you've had support here.

At a guess the OP has come back, read a few of the choicer comments and decided she can't be bothered to engage with all the nonsense.

Might be because she actually asked her son why.
