To not go to my ds harvest festival tomorrow?

[carmenelectra]

I feel like i am being really mean!
He is a little bugger by not bringing home letters from school giving important dates, Christmas party etc and of course harvest festival, Claiming that he didnt get one.
I had a feeling the festival must be close and ive been meaning to get a list of dates from Reception.

Anyway, this morning i suddenly realised that the festival was in the next couple of days when i saw kids arriving with food parcels. I was so mad! I asked ds when it was a nd he said he didnt know. So i went straight to the office and they said it was tomorrow!Apparently ds has been rehearsing the past couple of wks and he hasnt said a bloody word to me!

Anyay, i felt such a prat because i hadnt sent any food(i sent some up at hometime) and i was mad cos i normally write all important dates in my diary or on the calendar so that i can make sure i, OR DP are off work to attend.

Its partly my fault beause i should have checked but ds is so casual about it even though i have said i cant go tomorrow because of work. He just said ' oh i didnt get a letter'. I asked why he hadnt mentioned it and he said he had!! Bloomin' fibber!

The only way i can attend is if i pull a sickie as its such short notice. Ive never missed anything like this before(he is 9) and in one way i think its his fault for not saying a word to me but on the other hand i feel sad that neither of us will be there to wave at him a nd watch all the singing etc.

What do you reckon?

I reckon our our sons were separated at birth!!!!

If he's nine years old and he didn't tell you, I think it is unreasonable to think you would rearrange your entire day around it. If he's upset, that might help him remember next time.

But if you actually want to be there, that's a different matter.

I could have murdered him right there and then when i asked in the office and she said it was tomorrow. I looked like a mother who didnt give a shit while everyone else was arriving with food. Im furious at myself too for not checking.

The thing is i could easily have had the day off work if id have known.

THeY have had more than one letter too cos i know they get one reminding them about the food. So ok, he lost/didnt get one letter, but two. Bloomin' liar.

Thanks smith. I do want to go but like i said the only way i can is if i phone in sick. On the other hand i dont want to go cos i am mad that letters, reminders about food parcels, rehearsing for the festival didnt once remind him to tel me.

I told him i was cross that he hadnt mentioned it and that i couldnt go. He didnt seeem fussed either way. Im more bothered than him!

Just feel sad that he will walk in the hall with no family watching him or waving(or blowing alittle kiss)

Anyone else think im right or wrong?!
