being annoyed with Dd2's teacher for not sorting this out ??

[NuttyMuffins]

Dd2's class did an assembly this morning about feeling funnily enough.

Dd2 was one of 12 picked to do a dance for the feeling scared bit.

So they all stand there dancing away and then it gets to the part of the song where they pair up and dance and there is no partner for dd. All the pairs carry on dancing away and poor Dd is stood there not knowing where to put herself and eventually the teacher indicated to her to just dance on her own, and bless her she did but she looked so upset and uncomfortable.

Surely the bloody teacher must have realised that someone was away and so there were now only 11 not 12 dancers.

I know I am probably over reacting but I felt so sorry for DD and angry with her bloody unorganised teacher.

Oh and it was a another girl in their class that taught them all the dance, and she was there, why the hell couldn't she have paired up with dd.

It was a simple oversight by the teacher.

Yes she should have done a headcount, but she forgot. She is only human after all. As a result, your dd was left dancing on her own. That is a shame, but these things happen.

I hope you are feeling a bit happier this mornig, and just from reading your replies from last night, I do honestly think you need to go back onte AD's, or a more natural version, as you sound like you are not coping.

Hope you feel better soon, and I am sure your DD will feel better about her dancing soon too.

Nutty, I hope you don't get put off by this although I can see why you would. I think it must have been very hard to see your poor dd so embarrassed by this, and yes, it doesn't seem like a hard thing for the teacher to have checked. I think you've had a lot of baiting on this thread too, and a lot of horrible comments that just seem to come completely from left field. Not all MN is like this, you know

Tubbytoes FYI I am one of the people on MN coping with a relationship break up, a xp who doesn't give a toss about his kids, no money and a whole load of other problems. Oh and no I don't work, something else that no doubt goes against me on here.

Please don't sit there telling me what effect my reaction to something has on my dd, you don't know her I do. Dd doesn't even know that I have a problem with the teacher for messing up.

Thanks Tamum, unfortunatly i think I have had enough. This is the second thread is almost as many weeks that have made me cry myself to sleep. MN is definatly not a nice place to be anymore.

Anyhow as I said, I will probably need to use the student threads at some point so will just do that and avoid the rest.

I really dont know why there has been such nastiness on this thread Nutty-a lot of grumpy people around at the moment I think!
Please dont take any notice-there are lots of helpful people around on here too! Ignore the unpleasant ones.

Completely agree with Tamum's post.

MN has been a bit odd this week.

Just read this thread and I'm ed at some of the posts on here. I'm glad you've come back Nutty.
I agree that mumsnet is a bit odd these days - the same faces keep coming up with argumentative posts and take over threads with their friends to have a go.

Nutty - I can understand how upsetting it must have been for you to see DD on her own like that, but well done to your DD for continuing with her dance - what a little star!
The teacher probably didn't realise until it was too late, due to the chaos (and possible nerves) of organising the performance. She probably felt awful when she realised.

You do sound a bit stressed atm, and I do understand some of how you are feeling, as I am suffering stress as a result of lack of sleep, squabbling children & the strains of a relationship break up.
I am quite anti ADs if I can avoid them, but was so exhausted & stressed out after Christmas that I made an appt with my doctor & was talked into ADs to help with my anxiety levels & aid my sleep.
They are not very strong ones & I just take them 1 hour before I go to bed.
I have also recently started another round of counselling, which was also organised by the GP.
It may be worth going along & having a talk with your doctor. Sleep deprivation is the pits!

I am sort of having counselling PC, a lady from a charity attatched to the local childrens centre is visiting me each week and she is going to work on some specific problem areas that we have identified.

The not sleeping is mainly down to the problem with DWP as they still haven't let me know if they are taking my case any further. I just want to know but don't want to ring incase it antagonises the woman who did my interview.

I am glad you're getting some support.
I can totally understand why you're having sleep problems with all the worry. It all seems magnified at night when you're all alone in your bed with nothing to do but think, doesn't it?
Have you tried any herbal sleeping tablets?

I have tried Kalms but tbh I didn't notice any change at all.
I do have to go the gp's soon about my pill so I will try and bring up the other problems then too.

Managed to lose £10 whilst out shopping this morning too, can't say that exactly helped my mood.

I'd just like one nice thing to happen to me, to restore my faith in the fact that my life isn't complete shite I think.

I tried Kalms & found them next to useless too! I find Rescue Remedy much better!

I think talking to your GP is a good idea. You have an awful lot on your plate atm & I know how there kind of gets a point where your head cannot take anymore & feels like it will burst!

I am not depressed, but do feel overloaded with stress at times & feel I cannot cope.
I have been to the doctors twice with my stressy head!

can i send you anoter draft excluder??//

thats got to be a happy sight

fwiw, nutty, i woulsd have felt the same about the assembly

Thats exactly it PC, I get to the point where I know I can't cope with anymore shite and kind of explode.

LOL LTH, I do love my draft excluder I have to say, it is the nicest thing in my hall and I tell everynoe who visits that my friend off the internet made it, and then they tend to look at me strangly and leave

Nutty, glad to see you are still here.

I have not read any of your threads so I don't know your story, but it sounds like you are struggeling with loads

I don't know if you are the hugging kind, but have one anyway ((()))

How is dd this morning?

As time goes by, I am sure she will be proud of the fact she was brave enough to dance on her own!
Could you have a quiet word with the teacher on Monday so the teacher gives her a sticker/certificate for being such a star? Things like that spur my ds on no end!!

Dd is ok today, she did mention it when my mum asked her how it went and again said she was the odd one out, but my mum said 'so you were the extra special one then' and dd seemed ok with that.

Dd's teacher is a bit dippy to be perfectly honest and so I have no doubt that it was a mistake and so I won't mention it unless she does.

I made a fuss of dd last night and gave her a sticker of mine which she is happy with, so i'll probably leave it at that.

And tiredness makes that head bursting feeling so much worse, doesn't it?
I was feeling very overloaded just after Christmas & spent night after night with no sleep. One day after being in with the children demanding all day, it all got too much & I got to the evening, had a panic attack, followed by lots of tears, but still felt there was too much pressure in my head & that I needed to scream & scream!
I actually frightened myself, as I felt like I was going mad, and it was at this point I knew I had to get myself to the doctors & take whatever they offered me!

I do feel like a complete zombie some days, and feel like everything is passing me by in a blur which then makes me worry that I might have forgotten to do something, drives me nuts.

Good on you for getting some help

I know that feeling well! Hope things sort themselves out for you soon.
If you lived nearer I would take you out for a drink!

Aww thanks PC

Right am off for a cuppa, thats another thing that makes me feel crap, I don't drink enough fluids during the day and end up with a fuzzy head.

Nutty ~ I just had to post.

I am so so sorry you have had to deal with such awful, aggressive behaviour. I am actually stunned at how nasty people have been to you.

You asked a simple question but it has turned into a spiteful attack.

Don't let this put you off posting though. The majority of mn are nice people IMO so don't let the odd ones stop you coming on here!

Hugs X X X X X X

When I had trouble sleeping I tried Kalms and they were crap. Ended up buying a flower rememdy thing from the health shop (geranium? - have tried to dig it out tonight to see what it was, but can't find the stuff anywhere). If you go to a health shop or alternative remedy place they might know which one - was by the makers of Bach rescue remedy. Was excellent - you put about 12 drops in a glass of water. Drink half before bed and then if you wake up, you drink the rest of the water.
Did seem to make a difference,if only as a placebo. Also useful keeping fluid up (I'm also terrible at drinking throughout the day - live on tea and coffee, which I know isn't good but have never been one for drinking much water).

Anyway - just a recomendation if it helps.

If I find it you're more than welcome to it - my insomnia was pregancy related and so no longer a problem! Will keep looking. Don't think it goes off. Tastes like wine - yum yum.

rescue remedy (bachs?) sorted me right out when I was going through a stressful time.
