So, when collecting my son from pre-school in Monday, the manager asked to talk to me.
She reported that my son had announced that “my daddy is naughty and hits my mummy”.
I stayed this wasn’t the case and all I could think of was the previous weekend we had all been playing a game where we held our hands out and had to try to move them quick enough before the other person hit them. (Think like when you do a hi-five and move your hand away and say “too slow”)
We’ve tried to have a chat with him explaining that it was a silly game but he just got upset.
Other parents have now been into the school to voice concerns that my son has said that daddy hits mummy..
I don’t want to go down the route of telling him it’s a fib, because it technically isn’t but I just don’t know what to do.
Thankfully I am not in an abusive relationship and I feel that denying it too much will just look suspicious.
I don’t know what to do from all angles.
In retrospect perhaps it was a silly game to play but we were all laughing at the time.
