DSD is embarrassed

DSD’s new boyfriend (she met him at a party but he goes to a local school and has mutual friends with her) is related to her Form Tutor.

He’s her step brother so not technically related but he’s told DSD that they’re close. She’s been dating him for a month now and he only told her that her form tutor was his sister yesterday as he knew she worked at her school but no clue that she was her form tutor.

This isn’t an issue, is it? I told DSD it’s a non issue, so has her mum and DH but her and DD2 are enjoying giggling and turning it into some sort of problem. They go back
to school on Monday and she’s also DD’s form tutor. We’ve told DSD that she doesn’t need to say anything or mention it as her boyfriend has said that he will tell his sister this week when he sees her and ask her not to mention it to DSD or DD.

If there’s some conflict of interest that will be an internal staff matter with the teacher surely? I mean I can’t see it being an issue but DSD, DD and now DH are beginning to worry.

Sorry, AIBU to think it’s a non issue?

I don't think its an issue. She knows, presumably the form tutor will know too, preferably sooner rather than later. Not an issue though the form tutor will be professional.

Probably someone who works in a school and actually knows will be along soon, but I'd say it's nothing to worry about at all. Possibly they enjoy the attention as opposed to it actually being an issue. However, she shouldn't "announce it" but perhaps not spread it around because that news will travel in school!

I shouldn’t think it would be an issue unless your DSD and DD make a drama out it which causes disruption.

It's not an issue at all but it seems your dsd is determined to make it one aided and abetted, it would seem, by your dd2 and now your dh is getting in on the act.

Much ado about nothing comes to mind and it's time for them all to grow the fuck up,. I feel sorry for the Form Tutor who'll no doubt have to put up with dsd grinning and gurning like an idiot in and out of lessons.
