DS got the fucking class teddy bear this weekend.

So, AIBU to ask for your inspiration, as to what to do with the fucking thing. It comes with a requirement to write two bloody pages about out exciting adventures and photos!

It has luggage! With spare clothes pyjamas! AND a bastard toothbrush! Gah!

My DS is asking me why we had the teddy helping us make breakfast, as "He is not real. He is just a teddy. He hasn't got a brain". DS is 4.

DC3 told her school that we would have the school soft toy last weekend as we were going to Paris.

It was half true DH and I were going to Paris for a romantic child free weekend, which ended up chaperone by a soft toy.

It was a bit embarrassing, all around Paris we took pictures of it in front of things like the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and the Mona Lisa all so when in assembly they ask who has taken Harry somewhere she can put her hand up.

We did take Harry getting drunk and Harry eating frogs legs too which we also sent into school, but surprisingly they didn't make HArry's page on the school website.

how to scar your kids for life, dump them at home and tke the teddy away instead...

poor you... teddy on a romantic weekend.

Four and five year olds can't generally write much kelpeed and mine certainly isn't allowed access to my email to send photos to grandpas house for printing, or even to my laptop for a B&Wversion - she's not allowed to turn it on even. It's clearly meant to involve the parents.

My dds both did this till a mum in dd2s class taped the bear to her archery butt and sent a randsome note in the book with a photo of the child aiming an arrow Bear was retired and we parents heaved a sigh of relief.

It'd obviously just a way for the schools to do a bit of spying on the homelife of their pupils, and also to work out which parents are going to do all of be overly involved in their kids homework

DS was given the class bear, Jasper, the week after I'd had DD. We just took a photo of it next to a sleeping newborn. Not sure what else they expected me to do with it given the circumstances. Jasper had disappeared by the time DD went to that school. I'm now wondering if he met a grisly demise reading some of these posts!

Such negativity.

Yes, all deserved!
