AIBU getting annoyed at a 4 year old "grass" in my sons nursery?

[weeamoomoo]

when i picked him up today, the teacher at the gate told me my ds had initially refused to tidy up pens he'd been using, but after being reminded of his "star chart", he put them away.

when i went into the class, a wee girl (who ia very bright and articulate) told me my ds had made a mess. i said, "but he tidied it up". she replied "no he never". i then replied "well miss told me he did".

i then just walked away from her. but i am really annoyed!!! this is not the first time she has told me tales about him! i am thinking that if she tries it again i am going to tell her that i get a full report from the nursery teacher and i don't want her to tell me any tales about my ds.

what do you think? is saying something to her unreasonable? if you were her parent would you go nuts at me? AIBU because she is only 4?

OMG!!! the trials of nursery...

kids like that are a pain, but just blank her.

Yes - don't stress the small stuff

Ignore her - you can't reason with her imo

yes you are being unreasonable and you know you are and if you don't sort yourself out I'll tell miss on you

oh my is this all you have to worry about?

She is 4 ffs

don't say anything to her she is only 4.
They all have annoying habits.

Just don't take any notice of it. Say 'oh' or 'hmm' and walk away.

I say "well, it's not kind to tell tales is it?" and wlak away.

It is annoying though!

Don't stand and argue with a 4 year old ffs.

oh, ignore her, she's four. Or just say 'telling tales isn't very nice' or something.

clearly I walk - I don't know what wlaking is

rofl - she's 4!

Kids can be a pain in the arse can't they?? but hey, do yourself a favour and don't tie yourself in knots trying to reason with someone elses four year old ...it won't work

telling tales is such a child thing - it grates - my dd has a party coming up too soon and i know from bitter experience it will be full tell-tales.....and she will be 9 so it doesnt ever stop

Getting annoyed by your own 4 year old is normal.

Getting annoyed by someone else's, is a bit... disproportionate.

Lots of four year olds are like this, especially girls. They act like the class policeman and are mostly tale tales. Most teachers / nursery nurses know to ignore four year olds.

Just ignore her. There is more of problem at six year olds when really horrible things happen and they won't tell the teacher. Peer pressure will sort out the tale tale.

yabu getting in a fankle about a 4yo.behave!you want to remonstrate a 4yo have a word?oh dearie

lol. Of course you are being unreasonable but I quite understand how annoying it must be! Can't you just say something like "Miss X told me you farted at the dinner table and then did 5 somersaults and scribbled all over the walls!"

lol at scummymummy

I like that response.

tell her to mind her own buisness.only joking.yabu.shes a baby.

Oh it is annoying. I went to a party where all the kids were playing together happily, except one 4yo girl who came to the adults about every 2 minutes to grass up every single thing any other child did - "x stood on my toe" "y spilt the bricks" "z took my toy" "x pushed y" - blah de blah. Her parents said she was having a phase of it and it was driving them up the wall.

Just breezily say "Oh, so what" and then ignore.

lol at you all! ok, i'll play it cool.

Ummm so your justifying yourself and your DS to a 4 year old and getting angry when she doesnt responde like an adult yes YABU! SHE IS 4!!

youll be glad of having a spy when the teachers dont tell you things and nor do dc.but a little girl comes bouncing out pointing fingers saying 'he was naughty in assembly'.i know

dp mum claim he was weaned at 3mth,potty train at 12mth,chorister at 18mth no pressure then

lol phat fingers wrong thread

Get real, willya. This is a 4YO.
