Just back from a visit to what hopefully will be DS2 new school. Have sent in appeal to tribunal so just waiting and hoping he will get a place.

Now my normally lovely, placid, huggable, kissable child after initially being shy decided to tell the headmistress that teddy was in charge and he was killing to kill us all with an axe!!

Oh dear, between the head hasn't had anyone go to tribunal to get a place at her school so isn't sure what happens and now she must think my DS is going to be trouble if he goes there!

DS loved it by the way and so did DH but I am a bag of nerves now. Know DS was bit anxious and nervous but it was so out of character.

DS is now happily under his blanket quiet and calm and a bit exhausted!

Not necessarily a bad thing if they think the worst of him before he starts - prepare for the worst, hope for the best?

They'll soon get to know the 'real' him (or at least his school persona)

You do know that this happens all the time, right?
Having spent a lot of years as a primary teacher, I have heard a huge range of exciting home situations, some involving explosions, gaol time, superheroes, rich secret daddies who will buy them anything, living in a hot air balloon that will be tethered to the school roof...
Very few of them turned out to be true. Smile
All will be well.

lol @ Goblinchild yes we know but still Blush he tells people all sorts he describes everything to people we sound like the Simpsons Smile if my DH
used to have a drink and we went to ASDA he used to say to the checkout girl daddy drinks all the time, when he was only buying a bottle of wine along with all the other shopping and then go into details or tell people my dads mean hes always shouting or you are fat like my mum oh and you have big boobs to the more voluptuious ladies saying my dad likes big boobs and that we put the dog in the snow all the time 9our dog doesnt ever doo her buisness out on walks but waits till she gets home) im surprised we have not had social sevices or the RSPCA round yet lol

My DS told the EP that he 'attends lots of adult parties' and that 'he makes movies but they're too violent to show anyone' Blush

bettyboop63 · 17/02/2011 17:50

haha thats the sorta thin yup grin]
he says he only likes filsm with violence (he means ben10) not arnie films or saw or something and read violent books (beastquest) which is appropriate for DS age not violen but they did write because of this hes obsessed with gore and i let him watch read and play violent games/dvds so i had to explain this to the sen team luckily the home tutor agreed he sees things differently and that the things he does are age appropriate (10) not 18 rating or something

My Ds loves Ben 10 and insists on asking the HT how guns are made. She just said she is sure he does it to wind her up. She once said you need to learn at school to do special jobs and he said I will because I want to learn how to make guns Blush

When he was asked what DVDs he watches he promptly said " I really want Atila the Hun!!
(he saw a clip in changing channels for about 3 secs and is now ingrained in that brain of his) Although today he has moved on to Ninjas after watching Kung Foo Panda childrens 30 minute movie.

My eldest DD when she was 3 used to have lemonade after a trip to the beach before we go home we used to sit outside the pub as it was close to the beach. She must have heard others talking. Because next day she had a reception sports day and she was the only child that wouldnt run. I got some serious stares from the teachers and was feeling a bit uncomfortable. Then one approached me and said "DD has said she cant do sports because she has a headache because she has had too much vodka with uncle" Blush

when my son was 2 and a half he put his rollar skates on and told the social worker that he was going to skate down the stairs.She looked at me and then at him and said i dont think that would be a very good idea you might hurt yourself.He turned round and said don't worry my mum lets me do it all the time!!!!!!!just wanted the ground to swallow me up.

Thanks for all your replies! Glad I am not alone! It was so out of character for DS! Unless of course this is now the phase we are in for a bit! Oh dear!

Going to get DH to send a nice 'thank you' email to head for letting us go up today for a look around,

but all I want to put in it is 'He isn't usually fixated on killing people with axes and doesn't really want the teddy to take over your job'! oh and we are good parents honest!! Blush

Oh thank you all so much. I was feeling really down and now am laughing so much that the baby won't feed! I think I need to make this thread stick somewhere I can refer to it agin.
