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.

💔💔💔

Mmm I thought that; a surprise party would be overwhelming for a lot of kids.

Also, what are you all putting on your class whatsapp groups that shouldn’t be read by children??? Ours is just “reminder, it’s non uniform day tomorrow”, “do we need to send a packed lunch in for the school trip”, that sort of thing. No juicy, adults only gossip on ours.

someone put the thread on Reddit QUICK!😂

Imagine the mental scarring of a cancellation. Years of therapy fodder

No one can read this

I really really hope the person that has done this is ashamed of themselves and comes clean to the parents and apologises!
and believe for a second the "organiser" is not a drama queen

#thehague #warcrimes #orphan

The start is akin to something announcing a death.
What a roaster 🤣

Lol,
"May I suggest setting up a fund to buy tomatoes, which can be thrown at the offending family in the playground?"

😂😂😂
Sorry I couldn't take it too seriously. I get being pissed off, if busy and the surprise has been ruined, but FML they read as unhinged.

OP the organiser found your thread you better apologise to all the parents as well now for the heartbreak you have caused!

Post this in the group

Well if it is going to be taken down, can you really quickly post the replies she has got @MondayblueFridayyellow ?!

Please!

This thread is EXACTLY why I joined MN in the first place 😂

I disagree - kids wear them for years!

Agreed. It’s given me a right laugh

I'm enjoying this thread enormously but I am a bit confused about one thing: are any of the children actually upset that the party is not a surprise? If not then I don't think OP needs to worry about the child getting picked on (unless by batshit parents)?

Comedy gold!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

this is the classic example of someone doing something to look good and not for the sake of their kids

the kids will enjoy it either way, whether it’s a surprise or not

how I’d love to be a fly on that wall

Wonder if the party was going to be held at her Instagram-ready home

+1 Its is a thankless task.

I wonder if she’s going to do her dance that got 400 likes on TikTok?

Could be worse, you could be working with her FT and have this on a daily basis. She reminds me of my ex boss who had a ‘panic’ near daily

This 🤣
Exactly the quote I thought.

This was the OP’s intention, rather than say something to the woman. Actually it could be the kid who’s on here.

I thought you were gonna say that the kid had been Arsefaced for blabbing, & had tragically died.

No one will care about this, the kids will just be delighted to be having a party. The child won’t be bullied, but the woman might be.

It's so obvious that she wanted to be the one who "revealed" the surprise to the children.

This is all about her and nothing about the children, who will probably be excited with some build up.

I hope someone in the group responds with an appropriate amount of sarcasm!

HAHHAAHHAHA

OP, are you Irish? 😜

This is one of the best threads I’ve read for a while!

Dying to see how she reacts when she finds out she's gone viral...!!!
