Nursery lying

[Jojomamabee]

Hello so this afternoon I went to pick up my little one from the nursery the had radish and they told me my daughter didn't like it and my daughter 4 year old heard that and came all the way home saying that she liked and they even eat it with butter. What's your thoughts please mummies? I am really upset on why the hell they lied! I just feel they are constantly testing my parental skills! Thank you

It's so entertaining though 😊

You do, it's a thing in France.

Read the thread! Apparently you do. I'm going to try it. Most things are better with butter...

I'm just agog that OP is this upset over whether a person thought their child likes radishes or not.

My 5 year old will tell anyone who listens she loves tuna... But put it in front of her and she won't eat it....

@ButteredRadishes @YouRemindMe0fTheBabe i stand corrected, sorry couldn’t be bothered reading the whole thread! I agree about the butter theory ha ha x

After the rubbish day I've had, I never would have thought I'd end it laughing about a buttered radish.
Thank you. It's cheered me up no end. 🤣

What a bizarre thing to be worked up about. Are you mentally ok?

I wouldn’t do anything because I’d have forgotten about it before I left the building.

Dear Jesus....tell the Pope 😂 I just spat tea out my nose 😂

Really.....?!?!
I once told my teacher (when at infants school) that me and my bff went to the pub at the weekend with my dad and had a pint of beer each. When my teacher quizzed me I remember panicking, thinking I would get in trouble and swearing blind it was true!!! Children lie all the time.....
If you're that bothered, I'd just send the nursery an email asking if your daughter liked the raddish covered in butter that they fed her yesterday and see what they say 🤷‍♀️

I seriously think the nursery have better things to do than lie about your daughter and test you. It will be a simple mix up and nothing more and you are being paranoid like it's some kind of conspiracy. Really it isn't.

Oh and please stop referring to us as 'mummies' it's beyond cringe.....

"my daughter come all the way home screaming at me like I said something"

There's your issue. Fix that.

Is she highly strung? I wonder where she gets that from?

What do you do? Just spread it on?

🫜 I had no idea there was a radish emoji until this thread.

I never knew you can fry radishes in butter, with the stalks/leaves, add salt and pepper and a drizzle of honey. That sounds much nicer than eating them raw with a blob of butter on.

Thanks for the lols OP, this is the best thing I’ve read all day 😂

put this one into mumsnet classics!!

Mental

I work in quite a ‘posh’ nursery. We had cottage pie today. We’ve seriously got to up our game if we’re competing with nurseries offering buttered radish.

OP, TBH honest - the nursery lying would not be my first thought. It would be what the hell is buttered radish, why on earth is it on the menu - and how many 4 year olds are wolfing that down with great gusto??

You're overthinking it, they have either got them mixed up with another child or your DC is mistaken on what it was that she liked and ate with butter. There is no reason whatsoever for staff to lie about her not liking radish.

Argh, I tried , someone was obviously quicker than me 😁

I am a reception teacher. If you are this upset about a radish you have no idea what awaits you next year!

I would sit the teacher down on a chair with a swinging light bulb above her head and interrogate her until she confesses to the lie

OR

Sit teacher and child across from each other at a table and make them stare each other out until one of them breaks and admits they are the liar.

Don't delay, this is a serious matter. Test them before they test u.

Wow what a load of tripe !!

Let me get this straight …

child has been in this nursery for 3 years
she is due to start reception later this year

things have generally been fine,

UNTIL ….

today.
the Test is ON
lets see how the mum navigates the radish test

omg it all kicks off
child likes the radish,
gaslighting about the radish

mums on the ball, she can tell she is being tested on the radish

how will it all end ??? 🤪

I’m also trying to
imagine passing a 4 year old in the street screaming ‘I WANT BUTTERED RADISH’ to their Mum…
