What is the mumsnet wisdom on this?

[perpetualworrier]

DS1 (6) came home from school with a collection of Christmas cards yesterday.

In one it said to DS1 from Y (a girl in his class), PS I hate you.

Do I do anything or is this just one of those things? The girl in question is not a friend particulary, but I have never heard of her being nasty to him before.

There was a thread about something similar last year if you want to do a search.

Do you think she may have meant heart you?

I would pass it to the teacher but without mentioning it to ds. They would know if it was meant to be horrid.

I would ignore it.

They are 6. They're daft.

If she really hated him she wouldn't have sent him a Christmas card. She probably wants him to be her boyfriend

agree with sidge. she loves him really

I'd say breezily, 'oh that's unpleasant isn't it' and suggest ds chucks it in the bin. I would shrug it off and expect ds to do the same

Don't worry they are 6. Next week she'll be his girlfriend.

Stick it in an envelope addressed to her mum and put it in her bag / locker / shelf. Then leave her to tackle it.

nah...she's got the hots (as it were, at that age) for him
she chase heem beeg time

Thanks all of you.

DS isn't in the least bit bothered about it. I just wondered if I should "do something". I know I would be furious if he did it.

Sounds like she's trying to chat him up. Remember words don't necessarily mean the same to a 6-year-old as they do to us. If he is not upset and you tell him he ought to be, you're doing him a bit of a disservice, planting suspicions in his mind. He may understand the situation a lot better than you do, so don't go muddying the waters would be my advice. Just leave well alone.
