Probably my own fault for over reacting but leaving because of some really offensive posters.

Just like to say good bye to my favourite posters and the ones who have been so lovely to me.

Sole source, sp, af, usual, worra, rubyfakenails, bridezilla, and many many many more. Even Scottish mummy who made me laugh all the time. Shcro your lovely to.

Thanks STD, I've just had a look. brandy if it makes you feel better, once I was called in to DS's school when he was in Y1 as he'd stamped on a boys hand and they were concerned about his lack of compassion (this was before his ASD dx).

In the HT's office with HT and SENCO I said to DS 'now remember, we don't hit' to which he dramatically replied with 'but mummy you hit me last night!!' Shock

I've never smacked him, I've no idea why he said it and corrected him that we don't hit and I definitely haven't smacked him, but he just carried on arguing with me that I had hit him - all infront of the HT and SENCO. I just wanted a giant hole to swallow me up Blush. The teachers have probably heard a lot worse fibs that your DS's.

How lovely of you all to follow me. Did you know personal attacks and following around the board is not in the guidelines and rules?

S'alright. Xmas Grin
Worth repeating praps.

SuePurblyFeltYourPresents · 18/12/2012 19:04

Follow you? I've posted on MN about four times this week, none of 'em on your threads. I have no clue who you are.

InNeedOfBrandyButter · 18/12/2012 19:04

Thank you catching it does. Glad to know it's not just my ds who makes up stories to the teacher. Very very mortifying.

Jeez but some people are hard work Xmas Hmm

Merry Christmas, goodbye or au revoir, whichever applies.

CatchingMockingbirds · 18/12/2012 19:05

I still cringe thinking about it.

MulledPinot · 18/12/2012 19:06

Oh this is too silly. I cba.

TheNebulousBoojum · 18/12/2012 19:06

I'm just intrigued, I love long theatrical farewells with added melodrama.
So far this is the third longest flounce thread this year, but I wonder if it will be a chart-topper by tomorrow.

MulledPinot · 18/12/2012 19:07

My DS2 once told his teacher that he had a pet rat who was killed by DS1s pet cat. We didn't have a cat or a rat.

HTH.

InNeedOfBrandyButter · 18/12/2012 19:07

It's just imagination, perfectly normal.

I said I cab, so I must stop posting :o

On the other thread, you said:

"... I just explained what he did could of got me into trouble and he'd end up in a home like Tracy beaker if he kept telling porkies like that..."

How is that not a scary thing to say to a child?

And as another poster has said, I am drawing on my own experience of my own three boys and other 5 year olds I have known, to say that a child of that age would find it difficult to make the distinction.

InNeedOfBrandyButter · 18/12/2012 19:13

Yes projecting what you think and assume you know when actually you don't know me or my ds and I'm not asking for your judgement.

SDTGisAChristmassyWolefGenius · 18/12/2012 19:14

InNeed - so, your 'summed up' conversation included a reference to your child ending up in a home like Tracy Beaker if he carried on telling lies - to be honest, I am finding it hard to envisage a conversation including that concept that would not sound scary, especially to a child.

CatchingMockingbirds · 18/12/2012 19:14

I think sometimes it's to impress their friends and teacher, other times it's to get out of trouble. My sister once told her teachers in school that our mother was getting married that day, she went into detail about it all too and all the teachers were confused as to why both me and my sister were kept in school and missed the big fancy wedding. My mum didn't find out until parents night when the teacher congratulated her :o dsis said she made it up as she had nothing exciting to write in her news jotter.

SuePurblyFeltYourPresents · 18/12/2012 19:15

Do you want to explain how the non-scary conversation went then?
Or just be aggressive to posters being polite and reasonable to you?

MulledPinot · 18/12/2012 19:16

SDTG I think you need to change your hoverererer :o

TheNebulousBoojum · 18/12/2012 19:16

'Now do fuck off with your sanctimonious self'

How rude.
Are you not the one who is supposed to be leaving, Brandy?

SDTGisAChristmassyWolefGenius · 18/12/2012 19:16

"...Now do fuck off with your sanctimonious self,..." Nice. Xmas Hmm

SuePurblyFeltYourPresents · 18/12/2012 19:17

Proper lols at hoverererer.

TheNebulousBoojum · 18/12/2012 19:17

Tracey Beaker's care home seems like a lot of fun on the telly.
