I’ve spent a large part of today making a World sodding book day costume and my DC is very excited to be going to school tomorrow dressed as a dragon (Zog by Julia Donaldson).
Then I actually read the letter which was crumpled up at the bottom of his bag and rather than dress as a character like they have had to every other year since the beginning of time, this year the children are supposed to go to school dressed as a WORD. Three words have been suggested (sport, science, sparkly) I don’t know if these are the only words to use or whether they are just examples. It’s my own stupid fault for not reading the letter properly but in my defence I’m BF a teething baby and haven’t slept for what seems like forever.
I spoke to DS about changing the costume but he was so disappointed. When I asked him what he wanted to do he just said “you decide mummy” with a tear in his eye. So now I feel like the world’s worst mother!!!
AIBU to just send him in the Zog costume?
YABU - of course he shouldn’t wear the costume, all the other kids will be wearing football kits and he’ll be bullied for the rest of his life.
YANBU - just send him dressed as a the blummin dragon.
