Feeling a bit annoyed this morning - AIBU?

I really can’t work out why this has annoyed me so much.

DS is four, just started reception. It’s a small school and they made a big thing of it being like a family, friendly and small.

DS is happy with me walking him to the playground but plenty of children have their parents accompany them to the actual class, which is still outdoors. (I can see that having several parents in a classroom would be an issue.)

This morning was a rare time just me and DS as DH didn’t need to leave for work until 10, so kept our toddler at home while I took DS so I walked him to the classroom. As I approached the teacher tutted and said ‘oh DS, YOU don’t need walking to the classroom.’

It has really annoyed me. It’s made me feel like we did something wrong, which fine if we did but I don’t understand what when others are doing it. I felt like a big nuisance and as if I was in the way.

I know I’m opening myself up to all sorts of horrible criticism here and I am not going to say a word but it has annoyed me quite a bit. Wondering if others would feel the same or if I’m being silly.

Don't over think it. The Teacher knows your DC is comfortable going in to the classroom by them self & so probably didn't mean anything by her comment. You should have just said something like ' Yes we just fancied a change this morning & xxx wanted to show me their classroom as I don't usually come in'. Don't be annoyed, be grateful your child enjoys school & is capable of going in on their own without a fuss.
