To demand a parents evening meeting when I next have to pick my son up?

[OnlyParentsAreReal]

I was informed today at pick up that it's parents evening tomorrow (first time I'm hearing of this) and my time slot is 7.15pm! I immediately said that wasn't possible as that is past my son's bed time to which they replied "oh well". There are a few things I've been meaning to bring up with them anyway and my son isn't in tomorrow. Would I be unreasonable to demand a parent's evening meeting next time Im there for pick up?

But that doesn't make any sense 😂

I understand what you mean. But you'd still be U too. I had to cancel my parents evening at short notice recently. Teacher was very understanding and will rearrange at a later date when they have the spare time. Contrary to popular belief, teachers dont have oodles or spare time.

I've always found the schools to be accommodating if I can't do a parents evening, even if short notice, just say that dont work for you and ask for an afternoon one?

Oh, and the op’s dc is in a fee paying nursery, so she is paying for the service.

Then the OP is being hard done by then.
My DS is in a state school.

AWBU in demanding the OP comes back and updates us? I’m running out of peppermint Aero now....

It depends what you mean by demand.

Obviously demand and 'ask but not accepting no for an answer' are very different things.

Really, people like you turn up on threads and never bother to clarifiy which of the 37 versions of a word you are using do my head in.

Personally, i am requesting an update from OP but most certainly would not be happy if she says no. 😂

Few months back DS had an appointment for pre-school parent's evening and it was too late - had a newborn baby at home. ASKED if we could reschedule and no problems. No demanding or batshit entitlement necessary.

That’s the way most sensible and parents who want to work in partnership with their child’s teachers do it @HollowCity. Tends to be more successful too 😃 sandlot not everyone so sensible.
