putting in a complaint re parents in the cloakroom?

[laneydaye]

My ds is 6 and in last term of y1. He has been hanging his own jacket up in a morning since reception. The last few weeks i have had to bite my tongue at parents taking all the room up and making it difficult for my ds and others to even get in to the coat area!!!! I think 6yrs is old enough to be hanging a coat on a peg fgs!!
If you want to hang your childs coat up then do it after the rest of the class has done theirs...
God i feel petty but its really got my goat today for some reason..(not hormonal honest)
Thanks for listening Rant over!!!

Parents aren't allowed into my dd's school under any account unless you are collecting directly from the classroom in the case of very bad weather. The corridors are so small and there are any number of obstructions, display tables, bulging coat racks, tv sets, boxes of sports equipment etc there isn't the room for a possible 120 parents (2-form intake each year) in the Infants corridor plus children, teachers and TAs/classroom assistants all milling around.

YANBU.

i would just walk away calmly and smugly thinking what drippy parents that cant leave their kids alone

but also .

Unreasonable. You do what you think is best with your child and leave other parents to do what they think is best with their child. However, if other parents are constantly getting in your child's way then tell them to shift.

Not being unreasonable

My DD went in on her own in reception

If I ever did have to go in to see the teacher it was a nightmare with loads of parents squashing in

(and my DD started fulltime schhol at 4 yrs and 1 day!!!!!!)

My daughter is four, has been in pre-school and/or nursery since she turned three and has rarely had any help other than an initial "Aha! This would be where your peg be hidden!" moment. I refuse to be a packhorse and I strongly encourage her to get on with it all herself.

Watching mums refuse to let their kids get on with it narks me, I often think that if they just buggered off and left the kids to it the tantrums would stop and the kids would be better for it.

Heigh ho.
