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.

💔💔💔

Just goes to show what bollocks people can invent about someone on Mumsnet.

Maybe but either way you've not come across well across this thread at all.

I think shes handled herself pretty well personally

But feel free to tell us how awful you think she is for the 442nd time during which nobody agreed with you then either.

Notimeforaname · 15/07/2023 22:15

Just caught up with this thread and the angry WhatsApp mums are hilarious.

OP how will you keep a straight face tomorrow 🤣

They really are ! And it’s so obvious who they are.

OP you’ve been really dignified throughout , keep posting , adults bullying 11yo kids need to be shamed.

Whattodoaboutpox · 15/07/2023 22:18

OP this could have been the Y6 group at our school. Bonkers, crackers parents. I hope tomorrow isn't too heartbreaking or distressing for the parents.😅

Wildlyboring · 15/07/2023 22:20

Well this thread is golden.

Don't worry folks 5 days left and you can all fuck the WhatsApp group off and avoid each other for the duration of their time in secondary.

I dont think I've ever rooted as much for an OP.

This has been some quality Mumsnetting. Well done ladies, we request, nay DEMAND, a blow by blow from each of your own view points tomorrow!

Fallenangelofthenorth · 15/07/2023 22:24

It's really obvious isn't it? Brand new usernames set up on the same day this thread started, and all think the crazy myself mum did nothing wrong and OP is a terrible shit stirrer. They'd all make terrible under cover detectives 😂

QueenCoconut · 15/07/2023 22:26

Every primary has its own school gate- mum mafia but this is next level crazy.

Hibiscrubbed · 15/07/2023 22:27

Everyone knows a backstory is key. Amateurs.

This thread had better not get pulled :(

Fallenangelofthenorth · 15/07/2023 22:56

@WildUnchartedWaters I hope not too!

And I actually hope one of the tabloids do pick it up. Horrible behaviour, which has been made ever worse by the flying monkeys coming on here and doubling down.

I suspect it’s going to need a new thread. I hope people don’t forget to use their namechanges on it…

I have to agree with you and as I said my intention was not for this to get this big. I just wanted to get peoples point of views.
I did try and get this taken down.
But like others have said they were trying to bully a child. Now they are all making fake profiles to try and bully me. @CrystalPalaceAlice has also made really nasty comments about an overweight child in the class. I am deeply shocked about this.
I do hope the tabloids get hold of this as these ladies have crossed a line and their behaviour should be called out.

Stop I'm so tempted for a name change with many of the phrases from this thread

Wide eyed and legless would be my choice after the party tomorrow if I was OP 🤦‍♀️😂

This is going to be one of those threads that people refer back to, to prove they've been here a while - rivers of sweetcorn, mexican house thief, sistene chapel screamer, cutted up pear, pom bears, and now myself-mum-party-tragedy-queen. (Or something snappier!)

Remember “I snapped and farted”?

Now that made me laugh!
