bad mother...

[plus3]

I sent my DS to school in his school uniform this morning, because I had not read a letter properly saying it was non-uniform day..... Have I scarred him for life? Will I forever now be known as the rubbish mother who doesn't read letters properly?

Nah, we've all been there. You can't read EVERY bit of paper they bring home! Don't worry. You could take clothes in for him to change into if it's possible... Don't worry, he won't be the only one.

I forgot one day but fortunately we only 2 minutes' walk from school so once we realised we ran all the way home, got changed in double-quick time and ran back again! Poor ds had never ran so fast in his life (and I don't had either). Good job it wasn't a childminder-drop-off day. There are always kids/parents who forget.

I have sent my kids to school in plain clothes when it wasn't a non-uniform day.

I have also sent them to school when school was closed for an inset day.
