To not want to discuss my child's reading in the playground?

[MrsTawdry]

I might need to get a grip...and if you lot tell me so then I'll get one.

DD is in year 2 and has had a hard time with reading owing to undiagnosed sight issues. She got glasses last year though and has been catching up nicely.

Anyway...one of the other Mums in her class is a reading volunteer. She is a nice person but she keeps discussing DDs reading progress with me in the playground at pick up.

It makes me uncomfortable but I'm not sure why. I think it's because she's not a teacher...and my relationship with her isn't the same as it is WITH a teacher if you know what I mean.

She's positive and all that but I still don't like it. AIBU and if not what can I do?

No I'm not! And I think Volunteer's post was odd in the extreme. Written with such confidence that I MUST be the person she thought I was...strange.

I addressed you on here because you started it on here, that's all. I thought sending you a PM made it more of a big deal. Since we are different people then of course we think things through differently. Again, I apologise for getting that wrong too. Everything matched my situation which is why I felt this could be my situation and I wanted to apologise for the upset I thought I had caused you. Since you state you have two daughters I know this isn't the lady from my school as you'd have a hell of a commute.

Who knew that trying to apologise would be such a problem.

Tbh Volunteerreader, your post did come off as a bit weird.

To post 'oh lord, is it possible that this was me? I'm a bit nervous it might be. Do you listen to reading at school too? Would be ok.
Posting as if it definitely was you when the likelihood is tiny did teeter into weird territory .

I did say it could possibly be about me. I just answered as if it is to stop ridiculous if it is me every five minutes.

I thought I had upset someone. My main priority was to apologise. Oh well.
