fuming mad at school photos

[ethanchristopher]

i go to a follow school which means there is an infant/nursery school, junior school and secondary school that are all next door to each other and have the same name e.t.c and every year when the school photos take place and the siblings from any of the 3 schools can have pics taken together e.t.c.

but me and my little sister (im secondary shes infant) can have our photo taken but not with ds (whos in nursery) and yet my friend can have her picture taken with her little brother who is in nursery

reason being that my ds is not my brother

AIBU or are they just sticking REALLY CLOSELY to the title "sibling photos"

i probably am being unreasonable reading that back...

Am SO glad it turned out well, ethanchristopher. You are going to go far, you know. Such a great attitude to dealing with all the horrid crap that's been thrown at you, here and at school. Your ds is a lucky boy!

LOL

One

Bog off.

ec - so glad you got your photo. and I want to back up the breathe of fresh air comment - mn plays a double whammy here - you don;t know enough people in the same shoes - so perhaps mn provides a bit of a substitute - I, on the other hand, don't know enough people in different shoes (I'm just a boring, married, middle aged mum of 2 and so are most of my friends) - so one of the joys of mn for me is the chance to read about/talk to people in different situations, to broaden my horizons and see a wider world. so thanks for being such a positive contribution to mn.

ok, i give onestone the benefit of the doubt. foot in mouth problem rather than bitchiness on extreme level.
tis prob with cold printed words on a screen, all the meaning gets lost sometimes...

Btw, my youngest sister also had a surprise baby at a tender age (although she was a little older than you). And it was amazing to watch her suddenly turn into a confident, competent, fab mother. There was my ickle sister who frankly, I didn't think was really old enough to brush her teeth without over-protective big sister double checking suddenly becoming a Proper Mummy. Incredible.

Oh i bloody don't, her explaination was as bad as her first dig at EC.

i really dont want to sound martyrish or ungrateful here

but lets face it. you do exactly the same as me, changing nappies, broken nights, early mornings and you probably dont get half the support that i get. the only difference being i have to study but then you've all got jobs to go to. i get sooooo much help at home and tbh ds has me, dp, mum, dad, gran, grandad, nan, grampy, aunties, uncles e.t.c that all help!

i bet you'd all still be great mums at my age, i didnt think i would be! i was crap with kids!!! but you kind of cope and learn really quickly.

so thanks for all of the praise but tbh we're all in the same boat

edam,what a smashing heart warming post about your sister

Ahh i see you got it done as you wanted, thats great!

Onestone i was at your comment, nobody needs to know what you would have done, you should have stopped at telling her she was brave

I think bloomingfedup has said it well enough for me! (which is why she said it twice )

hats off to you ethan, thatsb a lovely post

and awww edam thats so nice. is she on mumsnet?

(the wink was coz i dont really have a list - i am nowhere near that geeky organised)

thanks Scottish, she is really great. (My BIL is rather fab, too.) It was just so extraordinary visiting her in hospital the day after she'd had her ds - my baby sister utterly transformed into this competent, confident mother.

ethanchristopher I can only deal with kids for a short period of time lol, I'm great with them but can't do it for long. Your own kid is different, you just seem to know and do it.

she is, as it happens, but I don't know her monicker and she doesn't know mine. I think!

I am glad you got your photo EC. I have a photo here of DD1, DD2 and me! I went to DD1's nursery with Dd2 to have a pic done and the photographer said for me to get in the pic too.

ethanchristopher - I saw you about yesterday but was too knackered to read all the rantings

Just wanted to say welcome to MN with a big bang

My mum was a teenage mum - a bit older than you but not by much. She is still with my Dad and they are very happy still. It was great growing up with young parents who understood us. Being a mum now I can appreciate how hard it must have been for them at such a young age but they did a great job

I am glad you got your photo - he will treasure it.

so glad you got the photos

I think this business about being a teenage mom is completely irrrelevant. Its mumsnet not old mums or young mums just mums and thats what we all are.
I have 'real life' mum friends who are in their 40's and those in their teens and because we have children its a common bond so age make no difference.
Chin Up EC and well done!
im 28 and had my first at 23 if its all so interesting!

I'm 29, and had my Ds1 at 18 (one month off my 19th birthday) He is 11 in december and still amazes me
