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.

💔💔💔

@TNUHC 20 years on mumsnet and you just happened to change name especially for this thread? Along with 3 of your heartbroken friends. What a remarkable coincidence.

What on earth will you do with your life now the drama of primary school is almost over?

They do tend to start turning up at the school gates in Year 7 and trying to get contact details of other parents, only to give up quite quickly once they clock that there is no-one interested in getting into cliques with them or setting up WhatsApp groups. Strangely they never seem interested in doing something that requires real work like becoming a governor. God knows what they do after that - do they go and start persecuting the WI or something?

I was quietly lurking and enjoying the thread. My eyes have greatly benefited from the good rolling. And now you’ve gone and spoiled the surprise by telling everyone that there’s going to be another. And letting slip the size? 1000 posts. You’re just monsters and your parents should publicly abuse and then disown you all.

I am heartbroken. Manically so…

Is it just me that struggles to understand this post?

@Fallenangelofthenorth

This is a fascinating case of how people make stuff up online.

My children are all adults. The only primary-aged thing in my life is my dog.

I haven't got a fucking clue who you think my imaginary "heartbroken friends" on this thread are.

I name-change every couple of days, comment on a few threads, then NC again.

OP started a thread about whatsapp woman. I commented that I thought she shouldn't have done that, because I think it's shit-stirring to start a thread encouraging people to get stuck into someone else whom they don't know, regardless of what that person has done.

It's no deeper than that.

Yes, it probably is.

Fair enough! 😂

@MondayblueFridayyellow

Don't forget to make a new thread and do dedicate it for @TNUHC She's very invested in it. 😂

Yes

Makes perfect sense to me

Nobody wants them as a Governor. You end up with meetings where a discussion about reviewing the impact of strategies to address the multiple barriers to education that some of the children face gets railroaded by some knob wittering on about how awful it was that their precious didn't get as much attention from the teacher compared to a horrid Neurodiverse, not white or abused child takes up so much time.

Mmm hmm.

Isn't she just?

And heartbroken mum 2 turns up right on time yet again!

How was the party @Herewego81 ?

Nah, I'm not invested. I'm just bored and enjoying sparring with people who have kindly knocked about 15 years off my age and have given me some young children.

Amazing!!

If you’ve been here for 20 years, that’s 3,650 name changes.

That is committed. Extremely committed…

’I think it's shit-stirring to start a thread encouraging people to get stuck into someone else whom they don't know, regardless of what that person has done.’

This is hilarious, especially from a supposed poster of 20 years! Have you ever read a thread on MN before? If this was a rule there would be no AIBU.

A few posts ago, they were teenagers.

Make your mind up.

@TNUHC

Boring not sparring.

If you were sparring it would be interesting. But all you do is cut and paste the same dull shite over and over.

But then you are a heartbroken crazy so maybe we should make some allowances.

Don't be idiotic. There was no need to NC regularly at the outset as it was small and we all 'knew' one another.

WTAF?

This is actually getting a bit creepy now.

Now I’m finding this thread funny! 😂

Not spluttering yet but hopeful

Oh fucking hell, this is getting weirder by the second.

A few posts ago, they were teenagers.

Make your mind up

I have never, ever said my children are currently teenagers. They were teenagers. Now they are in their 20s.
