Now she's at school she's blabbing about what goes on at home!

[sorkycake]

Dd was standing in line (reception) to go in this morning when the teacher, in front of all the other parents, smirks and asks "what happened to your glasses?"
I answered bewideredly, "sorry?"
She repeated "who has the glasses with only one arm on them", shocked I replied "I do Ds snapped them a couple of weeks ago and I haven't had a chance to get to the opticians"
Bear in mind that by this point every parent was engrossed in the conversation between us.
Teacher smirks again and states very loudly "we know all about what goes on at home" cue everyone looking at me.

I asked Dd when she got home how she ended up telling teacher about my glasses and she flatly denied all knowledge of the conversation, which then begs the question
"what am I likely to face tomorrow in terms of revelations & has this happened to anyone else?"

I accept that the teacher probably shouldn't have retold a story from your home life with an audience sorkycake. That is the only bit that is out of order though.

I'm dreading what dd is going to be saying... she makes up all sorts of wild stories. She's told me before that people have pushed her down stairs and awful things, she doesn't understand that it could get people into trouble. I think I posted about her 'lies'/'story telling' before.

Think the teacher was wrong to bring it up in front of other teachers, perhaps she was just trying to make a joke??

Really puzzled about this- I genuinely can't imagine why you're embarrassed. Why do you care if the teacher knows you have broken glasses? Why do you care if she says (subtext) "hey your dd is a chatty sweetie drinking in the world and saying it like she sees it" in front of other parents. I would have been proud.

Well, to me it sounded like the OP felt that the teacher wasn't just sharing what the dd had told her, but teasing the parent about it and showing off, too (...Teacher smirks again and states very loudly "we know all about what goes on at home"...) Not the teacher's business to do that at all.

I do wonder if this is a case of a well-meant jokey quip going wrong from the OP's perspective. I would hazard a guess that the teacher might be quite upset she has upset you IYSWIM.
It does depend on who makes this kind of remark IME. There are teachers at the dc's school with whom I would laugh long and hard over something like this, and others from whom I would think it an intrusive liberty
I think one has to grit one's teeth and accept that revealing vignettes from their home lives are Reception's way of brightening up their teacher's widdle and plasticine-stained days...

I guess its good that your DD feels comfy enough alread yto be chatting with her teacher

My dd came home yesterday and said her teacher had told her to tell me that I mustn't drink diet coke every day as its got bad chemicals in it! DD had told teacher that I drink it every day.

Last year she told the teacher that the cat kept crapping under the wardrobe. The teacher kept asking me if I'd managed to get the cat litter trained yet.

My DD wrote in her "news" after a celebratory weekend the "Mummy & Daddy got drunk in the garden so I didn't have to go to bed"

Ah milli I remember writing in my "diary" at school that my Mum had had 10 guinesses. When I told my Mum she made me rub out the 0. I used to press on pretty hard though so I would surmise the teacher had a pretty good idea of the original number.

Is the teacher new? Does sound immature. Sometimes I'd have a chuckle to myself about what the children told me, but it's most unprofessional to foghorn it about.

Hehe

One of ds' little classmates regaled them all with the tale of how his daddy had "too many wines" and kicked his Bionicles down the garden (sensible man).
It goes home to other people's houses too

Blimey Sorkycake, your dd's teacher sounds a bit obnoxious. I don't mind ds1's preschool teacher knowing what goes on at home, because she's a sweetie and I trust her. But if I didn't particularly like my child's teacher, yes, I would find it bloody intrusive and alarming!

I suppose I had better get used to the idea!

I wrote in my news book that my daddy likes to have a little dose when he comes home. He was the headteacher, and had to explain to my teacher that he had a nap rather than drugs. I used to help in dd's class when she was in P1, and one of her friends said to me "my mum is doing a PhD so I have to watch CBeebies all the time, but she says that when she finishes her PhD she'll play with me". Her mother would have been mortified.

Ds1 went through a stage of saying things like 'you see this bruise, my dad did that, he threw me out of the car and left me crying on the road.' I had to warn playgroup etc that he came out with stories like this, because he was VERY convincing. It was actually an imaginary dad, because if you said 'you mean daddy did that?' he would say 'no, my DAD'. Fortunately this has stopped now, but I was sure SS were going to turn up!

lol

aren't they little darlings ?

when dd was in reception, all the children had to write something about their mummy (or granny if no mummy) for a big collage. When we were all invited to come and see it (all 90 parents!), I could see the teachers all glancing at me and sort of sniggering.

Everyone had written something glowing like 'my mummy is beautiful' 'my mummy is a good cook' 'my mummy loves me' with beautiful pictures of mummy baking, cuddling etc. Dd had written 'my mummy likes sleeping and watching TV' and a picture of me looking comatose in bed.

Luckily the teachers thought it was hysterical - I was so mortified and kept imagining social services knocking on my door!

When my DD first started school 2 weeks ago, the headteacher told us not to believe everything our children told us, i.e. "what did you do today?". Reply "nothing and the headteacher said she would not believe everything that the children talk about what went on at home.

my niece has told many stories in her work book one included details of how thieves broke into their house and stole all of mummys good jewellry and they had to hide under the bed until the thieves had gone. The teachers thankfully new what she is like but did not bring the subject up at all. My sister was shocked to say the least when she read her daughters story book (what I did at this weekend) at the end of term

lol foxinsocks

Someone I know once wrote about his parents

'my dad has got black greasy hair and plays darts and my mum works in the fields'

Have no idea where the description of his dad came from but his mum had taken them fruit picking recently. This was over 40 years ago and we still laugh about it.

My dd is a bit of a blabbermouth too - it was even noted in her report that 'dd talks freely about her home life'. I dread to think what she says.

dd1 wrote in her news "daddy showed me his willy"

the teacher actually took me to the side to show me and ask me about it

it was all innocent he got out of the bath and she asked if all boys have willies and why doesn't she blah blah blah and so he explained that all boys have willies and all girls don't blah blah but he did it whilst standing naked in the bathroom shaving so it was kind of true that he showed her lol

lol at some of these. Really think the teacher in the original post was trying to be funny, i wouldn't worry about it at all.

at her first day at preschool last year dd1 told everyone in her group that 'mummy keeps me on a lead at home'

and then last week told her after-school childminder that her daddy 'has hair round his willy which is quite nice and funny to look at'. [mortified]

i went into my dd1 classroom once and on the way out a little boy announced to his teacher, that his nan was picking him up as his mummy boyfiend had beaten her up and she was trying to get them a new house. that broke my heart, i was almost in tears about how matter of fact he was.
