In being disappointed that parents of other children in ds's nursery

[PetitFilou1]

have sent round a chain style sticker club letter. He is 3.
Not that they know but I am on my own with dd and ds at the moment, trying to cope with working and managing everything else. I could have cried when I opened the letter asking to send stickers to other children in his class at their home address. I don't have the time and I don't have any bl**dy stickers. Plus I HATE chain letters.

Nice to know I have support from the majority. The mother of the boy who sent it to my ds is a shy retiring type who doesn't seem to have many friends which is why I don't feel I want to ignore it completely ...but I still annoyed about it

Btw they left the letter in ds's box at nursery so the nursery hasn't given out names and addresses - the other parents are giving me theirs in fact!

Well I would put the stickers given to you in an envelope and put it back in the lady who gave it to you's childs intray just say sorry this isnt the sort of thing you are into and can she give it to someone else you dont have to be nasty just take yourself out of it

agree with soldiermum - in this case give the stickers back to original child and dont make a big deal out of it

Bin the fecker

I hate chain mail

I hate emails that say send to 2 people in 2 mins, 10 people in 10 mins & have more luck etc...

Ignore it

God I hate chain letters too. I'd just bin it.

I would be REALLY annoyed too in your position. I hope you can stand up for yourself - what a way to make children and parents feel bad!

I never answer chain letters. Good opportunity for you to teach your ds to do the same. The sender will probably forget, or not have the cheek to follow up & demand stickers with menaces. You might say, if the subject comes up "sorry, don't do chain letters" and smile sweetly.

Sorry you are on your own with 2 dc. At least you have MN! My dh moans that he is a MN widower (but not as politely as that).

I'd bin it and have a strong word with the school. If someone sends you stickers keep them, then if the person ahead of you that you were "meant" to send sticker to asks where they are (if they are all in the same class I suppose they might!) then you can give ds the ones you were sent to pass on and that way nobody is disappointed and you still get to make your point.

bin it and if anyone says ;why?' just repeat whats on here and say 'but i'm happy for you to continue it on my behalf if you've got the time?'
