Not having much luck with DS's birthday this year.....
The nursery usually do a wee party when a child had their birthday - they have a big poster on the wall with all the months with each child's birthday written in.
Lat year they totally forgot to do anything for him, even though I provided a cake, so this year I was a bit more assertive and told one of the teachers that as DS wouldn;t be in on Thursday (one of his usual days) I would bring in a cake for him to share on Wednesday (ie today) as that was the last day of nursery before his birthday.
I duly baked a cake and arrived at nursery this morning and gave it to them, explaining that there wer four candles there and to put it in the fridge as it has butter icing.
When I came to collect him I asked if I could have my cake tin back ( the last time I made cakes I didn;t get the tin back) and asked how the cake was.
It turns out that they hadn;t used it. Apparenlty they thought that I just wanted them to keep it in their fridge all day to save me taking it to work with me
They then said they would do something for DS tomorrow, I patiently explained that as I had said last week and as per the written note of DS's nursery times for June he wouldn;t be there tomorrow for them to do anything.
I guess it is a breakdown in communication but surely one of the teachers should've clicked when I mentioned the four candles - especially the one who I spoke to last week about it.
Am feeling a bit sensitive about other things so perhaps out of perspective but DS was so looking forward to sharing the cake with his nursery friends and I feel that I look like a but of a numpty now.
AIBU to feel upset and irritated by this?
