Annoyed by the beautician !!

I went to a local beauty salon for a treatment with a lady who also has a child in my son’s year at school. I don’t know this lady know but we were talking about the kids work experience I commented my child is going to my husbands business although he is in partnership so 50% is I am not sure but don’t think the school want kids to go with their parents, although this is the path he wants to take when older. Anyway she must have been home repeated this to her child who now keeps taunting my son very loudly saying this isn’t allowed to go with parents . I’m really cross this child could jeopardise it if she carries on and cross she has been home and discussed this with her child !
is there a code of ethics here about not repeating conversations or is it my own fault for opening my big mouth to her ??

Also if you were breaking the rule by going to dad's work you should have kept it very quiet telling a new beautician connected to the school is really daft. I dont know why you would tell anyone.

It would piss me off to be honest but I would also be a bit cross with myself for telling her

I'd also say that if the school outright won't allow it, then your son could do some calling round other firms in the same sector locally. If no success then the school will see has has showed initiative. His dad could point him to some names but for your son to have to make an impression on his own is a good thing. Even if he does end up working with his dad. Confidence in asking for things from people is a great skill. If you get it on a plate so to speak then that skill is not developed.

While there is no 'code of ethics' that she broke, I would also be annoyed by this, OP.
