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.

💔💔💔

Oh god these two comments have made me laugh out loud and the dog is shivering again 😂

Beatles - Do you want to know a secret

Lord Protect My Child (re traitor child)

I’m surprised people think it’s so unreasonable.
sounds like a lot of effort has gone in and someone’s spoilt it so she is venting. It’s not funny really.

presumably she’ll not bother in future.

Annoyed is one thing but hurt/ heartbroken is why it's so hilarious

Very good 🤣

Maybe Skid Row's "Get the Fuck Out"

My Kids’ class WhatsApp groups have been fab! No drama, no bitching. Just helpful reminders about no uniform days, Viking day, what day PE is when they change it every week.

The only drama is when there’s yet another breakout of nits, but there’s never finger-pointing. Just a collective grimace that we’re all going to have to get the nit combs back out.

Also useful for arranging class presents for the teachers, class camping trips, volunteering for the school fete…

They have saved my lack of parenting planning many many times!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

OMG, I just spat my tea over my dog and I woke the baby up as I was laughing so much at this totes hilair try hard thread.

Great thread OP!

I hate the bloody drama llamas who profess to not mind doing loads of organising ‘because it’s for the kids’ but also lose their shit if their feet aren’t kissed by everyone.

Also expecting a surprise for 11yo’s to stay a surprise is bonkers.

Please tell us if the WhatsApp group have clocked onto this thread?

May I suggest

Careless Whisper

For the playlist

I’ve read the entire thread and this woman is bonkers. Sorry but honestly what was the purpose of the secrecy about the party??? All year 6s have an end of primary school party so what on earth was she thinking keeping it secret….. put them in misery thinking that they were the only school to not have a party 🤷‍♀️ I literally despair . Also , none of the kids would give a shiny shit about hoodie size - they will have all asked for L or XL and seriously no child would be arsed to see what colour and size an entire year has ordered. Her WhatsApp message is completely insane .

Do you want to know a secret by the Beatles?

”Listen…do you wanna know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell…
Whooaooooaaaaa closer. Let me whisper in your ear.
Say the words you want to heeeeeaaaar…………
Caleb’s mum has ordered a blue hoodie aged 10-11”

Give over, nothings been 'spoilt'. It's a party for 11-yr olds, it will still happen whether they know about it or not.

Don't you think her being devastated and heartbroken just because the kids now know about it is just the slightest bit ott?

Venting re parents OTT but OK, venting re the child/children who 'spoilt' her party, well here's a possible party soundtrack: Babies Having Babies

Who cares- it’s brilliant

Can I add to the playlist:

• Insanity by Oceanic
• Come as you are by Nivarna
• I don’t want to talk about it by Everything but the Girl
• I wanna be adored by The Stone Roses
• Never let me down again by Depeche Mode

Party prize if you can guess how old I am!

"It's my party and I"ll cry if I want to"

I know! It's thanks to her we got the imaginary children and hoody gate 😄

Utterly ridiculous! And nasty too.

We were keeping where the report button is a secret. Now, devastatingly you’ve told everyone where it is. It’s heartbreaking and probably a GDPR breach.

‘It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to’
