Ex has been living with his girlfriend and her kids for a good few years now. 2 years ago when her son was 11, she tried to apply for (School A). He didn't get in as they were out of catchment.
Before my DS turned 11, I moved into the catchment area of School A (obviously not to spite her! despite what she may believe).
Luckily, DS got in and starts in September.
Now ever since his father and the GF have been telling DS what a terrible school it is.
"Its full of bullies"
"its full of chavs"
"Its full of snobs, you won't fit in"
"So & So was really badly bullied there"
"It has a terrible name that school, you'd have been better off going to 'sink local comp'"
etc etc
This is a stressful time as it is for DS without the childish arseholes doing this.
If its such a bad school, why did she put it down as first choice 2 years ago? and why is it so over-subscribed that even people in catchment area don't always get in? and why ... why does it have the 3rd best exam results in the city???
It annoys me. If they want to spit me, fair enough but why make life difficult for DS? He;s supposed to be his father.
