Another parent has reported me to my DD’s school for comment in a WhatsApp group

Hi all,

A bit of an unusual/embarrassing one which I’d welcome your thoughts on.

I am in a Mum’s WhatsApp group with others from my DD’s class. It’s often a useful reminder for things needed the next day and has been used to organise parties/confirm attendance etc.

Usually, a few people will put something in there on a Friday/Saturday such as ‘enjoy your weekend’ and often accompanied by a photo of a glass of whatever they are drinking.

Weekend just gone, someone put a photo of their drink whilst in a bar and said they’d just seen one of the teachers from the older years in there too.

He’s somewhat attractive, let’s just say, and a couple of people replied to that along the lines of ‘no photo of him?!’ and ‘I bet you won’t be leaving in a hurry’.

A friend of mine then replied with something a bit more ‘colourful’ and I followed up with something similar. In my defence, I was drinking and a bit carried away - when I read it back the next day I was mortified.

Anyway, one of the Mum’s left the group and to cut to the chase, I’ve since learnt she has reported the comments to the school. She is usually quiet in there and mainly keeps herself to herself IRL too.

Am I overthinking this but surely other than me being suitably humiliated if the teacher ever learns of what was said, I’ve not actually done anything wrong as commenting on a teacher is not a crime?

I mean, if the whatsapp convo gets back to the teacher, and it will, how is he supposed to feel when in the presence of those mums? I guess he's supposed to feel all macho about it and walk by with his chest puffed out because all the sloppy drunken wannabe milfs think he's hot af. What a stupid feckin' double standard. 🤦‍♀️

Great post- really captures the reality.

Well if it's anything like that 3 thread saga the other day when a teacher made a comment to a parent out of school, and the parent made a massive deal out of it, you might need to look out for police involvement, OP!

That was such a ridiculous situation, talk about making a stink over absolutely nothing!
