The receptionist rang at 3.45 to ask me to go in and see a member of staff on Monday. Couldn't say why, DH rang to ask and made the point that it wasn't very fair to ring late on a Friday and leave us worrying all weekend.

I wasn't best pleased with the teacher this morning and she was short with me this afternoon but would they really call me in for something like that?

My child has said they were fine at school today but what if there is a problem? If it was something positive wouldn't the teacher have said to tell us it wasn't anything to worry about? The receptionist said they just get asked to make the appointment.

DH is coming with me as support and if it is about this morning we have bigger problems to hit her with.

Depends on how much you told her. If you just told her what to do without explaining, she may think you're just one of those parents who fuss over everything - and every teacher does come across parents who are simply controlfreaks or very precious about their children.

If you go in for this meeting and really explain the situation, she will hopefully take it seriously enough to remember.

I wouldn't "tell" her, as in telling her off, more explain to her and ask for her help.

I did tell her exactly why she needed to make sure either DH or I were there but with her not having a very receptive manner I felt silly tbh and just said bye.

OMG Lightbulb moment.

She hasn't remembered, thinks I am being precious going into school when their usual classroom wasn't being used, and thinks I just don't like her. If of course it is about that Keeps coming back to that, doesn't it?

If it was right at the start of the year and not done in any formal manner (ie you , dh and her sottign after school) the full extent of the situation may well have escaped her since. Imagine if you had to take on board 30 such issues in the first week of getting to know new children and and unfamiliar school.

Of course.

Still feel about 10 and being called into the Head's office though.

Don't worry, it may be perfectly innocent and at the very least it will give you a chance to explain fully. Relax, have a nice evening, do something fun tomorrow- try not to think about it.

I hope so but knowing me, it won't be.

How did you get on?

It was a reassuring meeting to tell me my child is safe at school.

We have a fear that my mother will try and snatch our DD so have told the school and I drop her at the door and go round to wave to DD at her classroom window. She wants me to do this but it is also for my piece of mind because it is quite a walk from where I drop her off to where her classroom is.

On Friday they were sent somewhere else but the first we knew of any of this was when we went round to wave at the window and the children were being sent elsewhere. I was worried she would be in a state and I knew I would fret all day so I went and found DD and asked her if she was okay.

I told the staff member I saw today about letting my DD go without me being there and if DD had been fine about it, then it wouldn't have been a problem, but she wasn't fine and since we were having this meeting I thought I would mention it.

I feel a bit happier now.

Going shortly to get DD and DS1.

Thanks for asking.
