Roll your eyes at the drama!

[MondayblueFridayyellow]

Some of the parents in our children's class have very kindly organised a surprise leaving party for the year 6 children.
The 'surprise' has unfortunately been leaked by one of the children. One of the mothers has sent a message to the whatsapp group (please see below. I have changed the names)
Do you think this message is a bit over the top? I feel for whoever's child it is as they will now be picked on.

The Message:

Evening all I have some very upsetting and heartbreaking news to share with you. 😢💔

It’s come to my attention there a couple of children who have access to this and the other PARENT group chat and have spoiled the surprise. Especially one child in particular I know who the child is and feel like naming and shaming!
They have shared all the information from the day of the party, time, what’s happening there and the hoodies.
They have even shared the sizes and colours to the children and that is sensitive information.

Myself, Parent 1, Parent 2, Parent 3 have all worked incredibly hard over the past few months from calling venues, DJ’s booking things and surprises.
We also all work full time have so much going on in our personal lives and it hasn’t been easy.
To say the least I’m extremely hurt by this as we have even kept all of this away from our own children. It really feels like a kick in the stomach. It’s been so stressful and now I personally am fuming all hard work has been wasted.
Parent groups are for parents and there are other conversations on the groups that aren’t for children’s eyes or ears.
We have expressed time after time this is a surprise and that our children do not know.

The jumpers have been a nightmare amongst other things going backwards and forwards to suppliers etc.

I really really hope the person that has done this is ashamed of themselves and comes clean to the parents and apologises!

For me the excitement has gone and if this information had come out even a week ago no would have cancelled the whole thing.

The school haven’t taken on the stress of organising any of it and we stepped up if it wasn’t for us the kids would just be having that one last thing together at flip out and nothing else.

I’m sorry to rant but I hope you can all understand how hurt we are feeling.

💔💔💔

Couldn't resist a dig at the school staff, could she?

It's as though the staff don't have the rest of the school, the SATS, admissions and the entire bloody running of a school to think about, compared to providing a set of hoodies that she's complained about the work involved in doing as being 'a nightmare'. That's exactly why they couldn't do two things instead of one.

Just her and her 👶 👧 from now on. Love them all the world 🌎 Too many 🐍

oh that we have at least twice a year. Parent ignore the deadlines, ignore the reminders, ignore the extended deadlines, ignore the other reminders, ignore the email reminder from the school...

and ON THE DAY comes crying and shaking about the distressed child.

Then DEMAND extra-tickets, extra sessions, and when these are offered, refuse to volunteer to allow the extra sessions to run.

It's so predictable, it's not even funny.

I don't know how to get it deleted. I'm happy for it to be deleted. Lots of the group chat mums have been on here and I am sure they have asked for it to be deleted.

Oh please don't delete this! It's the best thread I've seen in years 😄

OP, don't.

Too many people would end up heartbroken and distraught if this disappear.

She’s way too OTT, but I can see her being disappointed because some parent decided to ruin the surprise. Volunteering for school events is a thankless task at the best of times

I would contact the headteacher she needs to be spoken to - complete bully.

We have similar parents organising a prom. TBH they children have enough going on and this is for the parents really. I am so glad I only have - 'five more sleeps' as they say😂'til this is all over!

I'm not sure you understood my post. OP is all wide-eyed innocence - Oh gosh do you think [re the Fail]?
I just wanted to see people views and to see if I was in the minority at thinking it was a bit over the top.

Chinny reckon, as we used to say.

OP was going to have this deleted a while back, but since several people have wet themselves and scared the dog because it's so frightfully funny, she presumably won't do so until we have a full house of tea-spitting and baby-waking.

Very badly done, OP. Your children will likely indirectly end up on the receiving end of you putting this on Mumsnet. It would have been far better for the woman to have re-read what she wrote in the sober light of day, and apologised to the other parents for being ridiculous. As it is, you're now the one in the wrong.

We’ve had the plans of a boy, also 11, just desperate to hide his bag-of-bones body in a baggy hoody, scuppered by his mother’s commitment to well-fitting clothes and a mortifying ‘XS’ written next to his name.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

But where is the OP? I’m suspecting that the thin boy, fat girl, & she who wanted to name & shame BlabberKid have sorted her out in the school playground.

It's taking you 5 hours to find the report button? 😳😂

In the future arrangements should be made on a secure channel. Information should be dispensed on a need to know basis only.

😂😂😂😂😂

This thread is brilliant!!!

Please don’t get it deleted OP!!!

I know.

Please please no more bunfighrs sp we can keep it. I've missed loads of pages and am buzzing to read back through

Another child is now on the Organiser Hit List

Brace yourself Y6, there's a wronged woman on the loose.
With 💔💔💔 and everything.

Oh stop it. There are plenty of threads where you could have a good ole argument. This isnt the one. There really is no need to target her like this.

It is a banging thread though

'S ok. I'll make em an offer they can't refuse. Someone's going to wake up tomorrow to find their hobby horse's head in their bed.

Whatever you do, OP, don't turn up at either school gate or party itself wearing an identifying MN scarf. Suicide!

To be fair I once made a thread that kicked off, reported it in the evening and it wasn’t deleted until the next day. OP could well have reported it and it’s just not been dealt with yet

Hilariously OTT response. However, sharing someone posted all over mumsnet is pretty harsh. No doubt she, and other WhatsApp parents in the class will view this. Not sure she really deserved the whole country laughing at her OTT message.

Delete?? Put it in Classics!!

It must have been annoying but it sounds like they have devoted far too much time and emotional energy to this event!

What’s a mumsnet scarf!?!?
