To think this was an overreaction

[savethestars]

To scream NO NO NO OH PLEASE GOD NO top volume because a 13 year old got a detention for a very minor reason?

@Thenoisehurts

PMSL!

I'd say it sounds like someone at the end of their tether, but as OP hasn't given any more information it's hard to know.

Don’t worry about it

OP YABU for being vague then acting like a twat when people are confused.

I honestly don’t know what people are confused about.

Child forgot cooking ingredients and for a detention.

Mother screams NO NO NO over and over.

Honestly, what’s hard to understand?

I’m very sorry you think I’m acting like a twat, maybe you’d like to tell me where I acted like a twat and then I can apologise

I don't think this has gone to plan.

Who are you in this situation?

Who are you in this situation?

The overreacting screamer?

Why are there so many horrible comments. School is there to be endured so you can enjoy being an adult and not having to take shit without a conversation. Teachers are only humans, not always the brightest humans either.

Shall we take it slowly then OP?

In AIBU, most people (I think?) start by saying the AIBU bit in their head.

So your post reads "Am I being unreasonable to scream NO NO NO OH PLEASE GOD NO top volume because a 13 year old got a detention for a very minor reason?"

It very much suggests that it is you who is doing/is wanting to do the screaming.

You gave no other context so it is hardly surprising that nobody has any idea what you are on about.

@katzenellenbogen you are right of course.

But if the OP didn't post a dramatic original post, and then slyly drip-feed stuff in to make the scenario different to how she made it out to be, she wouldn't get as much attention..

Is it the same person who screams at works of art? I like her...

You acted like á twat (your words) by not giving all relevant information in your first post.

OP:
You are ALSO overreacting and taking umbrage when people are quite naturally

DD 12 just shrugs, she's only ever got detentions for really stupid reasons. It just means she's learning not to care about them, or about going to isolation. Is that what secondary schools want?

No, maybe the school wants some support from the parent of a child who clearly couldn't care less about the school rules, however 'minor' you think they are. You are on a slippery slope to far greater problems if you trivialise the actions of a 12 year old, get your finger out, quick.

Ahhhhh. It’s the ole attention seeking ploy, is it?

This is normal behaviour now.

You see rows of parents screaming NOOOO, mouths agape with bulging eyes at parents evening, birthdays, weddings, christenings, gender reveals, the supermarket etc.

It’s very fashionable.

Bye.

What did I say that wasn’t relevant?

Yes, it's ridiculous. Total drama queen.
How did you come to know of it? Did you see them or has someone told you?

Depends I suppose - is it after school on a night when there’s loads of stuff going on? Does mum have a drs appointment for something urgent that it will clash with? Does a twatty relative do a pick up that night and the mum will get it in the neck?
Who knows?

It depends, I could understand it as the reaction of a parent who couldn't afford the ingredients and is now distressed that their child was being punished for it...

Do people really silently stick AIBU on the front of every post they read on here? I don’t! Surely most people just read what the op has written.

It was my mum, I’m finding it all so hard to talk about. Years ago now. I’m not a child.
