Do I win the Worst Mother Award? Do I do I??

[foxinsocks]

At pick up time, was told dd had felt unwell but they hadn't called me because dd said 'mummy said I'm not to be sent home in year 2 at all because I was off so much in year 1 and had far too many sick days'. Feel like the worst mum in the world

actually, I did say a version of those words because dd was being sent home so often in year 1 (and then appearing to magically recover before we'd even got through the door!)

hopefully, the teaching assistant saw the funny side of it (they kept an eye on her and said she hadn't seemed that unwell) - I have a dreadful reputation there I'm sure after dd in reception (for a mother's day display) drew a picture of me sleeping while all the other pictures by reception children had their mothers baking or other such motherly duties .

LOL!

No sorry you do not win -I DO.
When I was late in picking up my DTS from school they told the teacher that I often go back to bed when they were at school and I had probably overslept.
The school then devised a plan with my DTS should this ever reoccur ie what they should do if I was not there to pick them up.
Can I just state for the record that I have NEVER gone back to bed for the day as tempting as it is.
My DTS are 11 by the way and were believed!!

lol

oh it's awful isn't it

I can picture them all laughing in the teacher's common room

LOL at these!

(ds1 once told his teacher - and the whole staffroom - that mummy didn't do anything but read the newspaper all day long.

No, mummy designed newspapers......)

When I sked my DTS WHY ???? they said they could not think how I managed to fill my day and had thought that I must go back to bed

when they write there news on monday dd1 wrote "we played in the garden but mummy and daddy were smoking"

LOL.

I remember my friend telling me that her daughter came out of the playhouse at play group one day with a wine glass declaring 'mummy likes wine'....

bless 'em.

PMSL TR!

Wheely, I have a mug which ds bought for me with 'wine makes Mummy clever' on

Slightly off-topic, but one mum didn't collect her son from cubs last night.

Said mum was mortified when we rang her.

We all thought it was hilarious, and the cub was fine.

when I asked dd (in reception) why she had drawn a picture of me sleeping (I mean, I CANNOT even remember when I last got a bloody lie-in whereas their father regularly falls asleep on the couch the whole time gggrr) she had said that she thought I always looked very happy when I was in bed daddy.

and unfortunately that's what she told the teachers as well

in bed with daddy!

LOL at these.

My BIL was away overnight and my nephew (2) was asking for him. Sis said you will go to bed tonight and when you wake up in the morning, who will be in the bed?

Nephew said "The pizza man!"

PMSL

foxinsocks-lol at drawing a picture of you sleeping ! That is classic!

Oh I love the thought of you sleeping - I am sure thats all my childrne think I do too!

lol at these.
heard the one also about teachers not believing what the kids say, but i bet they lol themselves in the staff room!

ds made xmas presents at nursery- dh got a felt bookmark with "jewels" on and I got a felt coaster with reindeer on. As I opened it he said "that's 'cos you always like to drink!"
I hardly ever drink, and I dread to think if he said that to his teachers!

My dd overheard me telling a friend that my dp was going on a "works jolly" (actually a team building exercise - yeah, right -to Iceland) and wrote in her news book that her daddy goes to work and eats jelly!

Best thread in ages! Wish I could add something as funny, but nothing matches up to yours foxinsocks.

When DS was at nursery and (finally) going through potty training he went in and proudly showed everyone his "big boy pants" - "Just like Daddy wears". DH was at the thought that all the nursery staff thought he wore spiderman pants!
