A bit upset and a little self pity.

[5inthebed]

DS1 (NT) was up half of last night being sick, so no chance of him going to school. Took DS2 to school and eft DS1+3 in the car while I took DS2 into school. It was 10 minutes early but his 1:1 does the breakfast club, so thought I'd ask her if she would keep DS2 so I could get DS1 home. She was fine with it...or so I thought. I went to hang his coat in the corridor and when I went back to say thank you, she was making a face to the other TA who does the club as if to show her annoyance. I just said thanks and got all flustered and left.

Now I hope I've got the wrong end of the stick, as she has always been lovely with DS2 and never makes out as if she doesn't like having him.

I just don;t know what to make of it all and feel a little bit sorry for myself about it all.

can you ask her? That's difficult I know. Maybe she was worried DS2 would be getting sick too and she might catch it?

Hope there is a simple explanation.

maybe just the end of the week friday feeling? Don't beat yourself up over it. If she wasn't ok with it she would have said no and made up some reason as to why (we're not allowed, against H&S, etc).
Hope DS1 feels better soon.

If she is really nice I would actually ask if it is a problem, you will then hopefully be reassured, or at least find out if it is a problem.

She was probably looking forward to a 5 mins break before starting her 2nd job of the day.

She wouldn't have said yes if she didn't mean to do it, probably just dreaming of the coffee she just passed up!!

Buy her a bunch of flowers or a bottle of wine to say thank you later.

I completely understand when you said you got all flustered. I would have done too. I'm sure it was just something and nothing. She may have been a little annoyed, but i'm sure it's nothing to worry about. You haven't done anything wrong. :)

yes, maybe they were going to have a coffee and talk about something, something simple like that!

It could have been about something else, so please dont worry.

I am the same though, I would have got flustered and worried they were talking about me.

She was actually in the middle of coffee when I came in. I feel awful now, as she is with DS2 all day long.

I'll take her a bottle of win I think, and maybe apologise for overstepping the mark.

I just wasn't expecting to walk back in with her twisting her face :( . I really don't want to ruin our relationship as she is great with DS2.

have a hug!

you don't know for sure that the grimace was related to DS2- especialy if she is so good with him... a bottle of wine will be a nice gesture of "thanks for going above and beyond" and you could ask discretely if it was ok- not that you intend to make a habit of it! it might help reassure you that the grimace was unrelated!

and- for goodness sake- it is only 10 mins extra!

Well that went well. She had no idea why I was giving her the bottle of wine as she honestly didn't mind having him. She even said I should let him come in more often as he realy enjoyed it and was quite relaxed for the morning. Phew.

Does anyone else get a tiny bit paranoid about everything concerning their child?

Oh, but, DS2 is the only one not invited to a birthday party tomorrow :( Hey ho, can;t win them all with wine.
