WIBU to get pizza delivered to DD's school for her birthday lunch?

I apparently am known as 'that' parent and have been given the side eye the few times I've gone in since!

It was DD's 16th last month on a school day. I ordered a few pizzas to be sent to school at lunchtime so she could share them with her mates in the common room. Teachers were not going to let her have themHmm and when they relented (by the time they got cold) made her and a few friends eat them in a separate meeting room when she had planned to share them as there was enough for about 20 people!

I don't see it as being that different from me bringing in a forgotten lunch box?

I also ordered flowers and a balloon to be delivered and school refused to let her have them until after school had finished.

I was trying to make DD's day special. I really didn't think would have been that much of an issue which ruined it a bit for DD.

WIBU?

For my daughter’s 16th birthday she took a group of 7 friends to a local smokehouse restaurant for lunch and they allowed us to take her own cake in.

I want to know about the period thing. With it being imminent for DD I could use some ideas.

Loubymoo27 · 12/01/2019 22:53

You're totally batshit but this has been very entertaining!!!! Grin

For my 16th, I got a cake, a CD and a book, and my brother had to do the washing up even though it was my turn.

GlitterStick · 12/01/2019 23:11

WTAF is the first period thing?! How is that a thing? Please tell me that's not a thing!
What, invite people for a party to celebrate it or something?
I would have been absolutely mortified as a teen if my parents had thrown me one of those! Grin
This thread is batshit, and truly a window into another world lol.

is this for real????

😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈

WontonSoupForTheSoul · 12/01/2019 23:19

When it comes to this level of attention seeking, I always wonder what the seeker lacked growing up.

It usually boils down to daddy issues, I’ve found 🤷‍♀️

FreshlyWashed · 12/01/2019 23:21

It was DD's 16th last month on a school day

So, this was before Christmas?

Why wait until now to post about it?

When are your DD's GCSE mocks?

Do you emit screams when viewing works of classic art?

There’s absolutely no way this is true. No parent is this self absorbed and entitled.

Justbackfromnewwine · 12/01/2019 23:28

Ha!
Super cringey and flaunty

FedUpMum40 · 12/01/2019 23:30

How lovely to keep her sweet 16th going through the day! Kind of thing I would love to do for my daughter

twattymctwatterson · 12/01/2019 23:31

Did ye, aye?

RavenLG · 12/01/2019 23:38

You’re that mum and your daughter is that kid. Attention seeking little turnip who probably parades round the school desperate for attention while everyone else is rolling their eyes.

I’m imagining the mum in mean girls, take her some condoms the next time her boyfriend is round too OP.

ZanyMobster · 12/01/2019 23:43

Why would you do anything to mark a child's first period. That is just bloody weird. Much weirder than deliveries to school for 16th birthday.

GrandTheftWalrus · 12/01/2019 23:43

I doubt OP will be back. She'll have went back under her bridge after suitably winding everyone up.

pissedonatrain · 12/01/2019 23:45

Why are you bothering to ask here at all?

For more attention?

Dollymixture22 · 12/01/2019 23:48

New account created to ask AIBU about a situation in which the poster is obviously behaving in a ridiculous way which will result in everyone declaing OP is unreasonable.

Ourmaud · 12/01/2019 23:53

Omg! I’m “that” parent and even I wouldn’t go that far. Yabu. The teachers have better things to do than facilitate your daughters party.

Cherrysherbet · 12/01/2019 23:54

Cringe 🙈 Award for the most embarrassing mum goes to you op.

I hope, for your dds sake, this is a joke.

delboysskinandblister · 12/01/2019 23:54

Odd?

No, not next to the flash mob and Unicorn.

MrsJDornan · 13/01/2019 00:06
Hmm
GlitterStick · 13/01/2019 00:16

Why can't we do gifs on here, wahh
If it was FB I'd be finding the one with Kryten and his "have a fantastic period!" banner Grin
Red Dwarf geek here, move along if not

KittensAndCake · 13/01/2019 00:17

I imagine you'd be equally horrified to know what I did to mark her first period then

Did you sent this cake into school?
