My DD came home from her first day at big school...

[1CantPickAName]

My DD has come home from her first day of secondary school almost inconsolable! She has realised that we didn’t visit McDonalds all summer!!!!
I did take younger DD, just didn’t tell older DD.

AIBU?

Ooh you’re a fucking barrel of laughs aren’t you HipHopFrog

Oh poor dd, just the pent up emotions of getting through that first day coming out somewhere. I remember my first day at big school was a huge shock to the system

@Hiphopfrog Excuse me! I eat it regularly and I'm not fat!

I'm obese.

Ah 9am train you have made my night.

Aww bless her. My DD is only three days into secondary school and her so called primary school friends have already turned into little witches and the silly power games have started. Best thing we can do is hug them and help them ride out the shit.

Wow! I can’t believe how often some people on here eat at McDonalds . And more importantly, how often they take their kids. Eurgh.

I find your message reassuring. My son started secondary school on Wednesday and had a total meltdown that evening, about nothing in particular. I thought it was very strange, but these responses are helpful. Hope she has a good day tomorrow, and MD’s at the weekend

Sorry OP, its been that sort of day! Got to 'page 2' and realised (because at this point MN have wisely deleted said post) that Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar has used the term special needs to put a child down and am have mounted my high horse, and got it to step onto a soap box (this soooo needs an emoticon)!

How bloody dare you, the degree of assumptions you have jumped to Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar is extraordinary! I have 3 "additional needs" children (out of 4). I'm so incensed I'm struggling to know where to start. How dare you assume that having additional needs need ever be a problem to society!!! Of my 3, the first has just achieved 3As and 1 B at A'level no less, the 2nd is in top sets in a grammar and the 3rd is following his uniquely carved path into engineering. Having additional needs does NOT mean useless and I hate how this society encourages such thoughts. It merely means that with a little extra understanding they can go on to be wonderful and add to society! Your assumption is downright disgusting. You probably wont read this bit as your input has already been delated by MN, but if for some reason you are then I want you know just how ignorant and stupid you must be!

Wow! I can't believe how some people are such sanctimonious judgmental arseholes! Eurgh.

And.... Obviously my high horse is still on said soap box! The youngest is the hardest and she displays zero additional needs, unless a belief that the world should do as you say rather than as you behave, which I feel should be called Trump Syndrome!

Oh my god this thread is bonkers. It might contain every MN cliché ever known

AND - but have got off soap box and dismounted! If the rest of the week is full of nutritious food then the phrase "a little of what you fancy goes a long" accurately describes OP! And there are far far worse things to eat - I know as I'm in the obsessive about what my kids eat camp as unfortunately we've been informed they're genetically more prone to certain cancers. So guys chill out!

Sorry but my 6 year old doesn’t act like that!

They might when they get to secondary school. Try reading the thread if you'd like to understand why.

Big round of applause for everyone who made a cuntish remark to put down an eleven year old child. Hope you all step on Lego

Gosh you're horrible.

With you on that Casanova , some absolute cXnts on here. If anyone's kid is being bullied reassure them by letting them read this and they can be happy on the knowledge that evil little cxnts at school grow up into evil judgemental cXnts ... I'm the days of kids taking drugs and some living in trully awful conditions surely going to McDonald's is nothing to slag people off for.

You go to McDonald's usuallt twice a week?! Wow that's a healthy diet.

She's no doubt had a very busy and overwhelming day!
I realise this was a few days ago now, but I hope she had a hug and an early night... And maybe a trip to Maccys this coming weekend? Perhaps just the two of you could go early for breakfast?

Sounds like she is trying to find a rational reason for her overwhelming first day emotions and is projecting them onto you. Missing out on a McDonald’s is probably not the problem at all. It’s a big thing going to any new school. Hope she’s settled down and that you were able to take her out to get a treat from McDonald’s. It’s hard being a mum. Ignore the idiots who don’t understand. Hang in there.
