Working in pre-school

I’m hoping for a little advice as I’ve been lead to believe I’m doing something that would be detrimental to my DD. I’ve been offered a position in the pre-school on the grounds of the primary school that my DD goes to. I thought this was a good idea as it’s school hours, term time & I can still do the school run without having to put her in wrap around care (which would probably cost more than I’d earn while she was there) but my xp, her dad, believes this is wrong & will cause her upset, lead to her being bullied & becoming a whiny child because she can just ‘call on mummy to come get her’. He’s even threatened to change her school. I tried explaining that the school & pre-school are completely separate, my DD wouldn’t see me during the day, the windows are high up so I couldn’t even see her playing if I wanted too, never mind the fact I’m working & looking after other children. Am I wrong to accept the job or is he for saying this things? Please be honest as I don’t want to do something that will affect my DD in a negative way. Thank you x

My ds have all been friends with children whose mums works at the pre school on the same site as the primary. In fact one of the mums was the only person ds3 would go to when he was at pre school. Her daughter was in ds2's class. One of the owner of the pre school is grandma to some of the children who go to the primary!

There was never any bullying, comments, etc, it has never been an issue so I really would not worry.

Sounds great, he's being ridiculous.

He's talking crap and is an ex for a reason!

Rubbish! Not the same but I work at the school attached to my baby brother’s (he’s 7 with SEN). He pretty much forgets I work there unless there’s a fire drill and then I get funny looks from him saying what on earth are you doing here?!

Total nonsense, sounds a great job

countrygirl13 · 19/03/2021 09:19

Thank you everyone. I don’t think he likes the fact that I can do things & get by without him so trying to upset me & to enforce some sort of control. I’ve checked the legal side & unless there is a good reason it’s not really possible to change schools once a child has started. Again thank you all, I feel so much better x

Accept the job 👌

Sounds like you have him sussed OP. That's all it is, a desperate grab for control and influence over your life, based on absolute nonsense. Congratulations on your new job! Thanks
