The one where I verbally vomit...

You know, I am a nice person, I like to think so...

I hate schools...I hate the prissy, princessy parents who think that they are so much better then everyone else. This is why I would love to homeschool again...not the right reason, but come on...

It was Cutie Pies end of school play today...I thought it was in the afternoon and had made arrangements for babysitting, so me and Princess could go and enjoy the show...

But because I am the mom of the year, I realized, as I was dropping Cutie Pie off, that it was actually this morning.

So I debated...do I go and hope that all the kids behave? Do I leave and disappoiont Cutie Pie? Decisions...

I decided to go, and the kids sat well in the beginning, and then they started to make noise...well, because that is what babies do...so I left the room and since the kids were doing their plays in groups of 4, I thought I would wait until it was my kids turn...sounds good, huh?

So, the first 2 groups go and then it is our turn. I sneak into the room...though that is hard to do when the front of the room is the only way in and out...

Everything is going well, I am loving that Cutie Pie is Little Red Riding Hood, and then Faith starts...I held her into my chest and went to the back of the room so I wouldn't disturb anyone else. She wouldn't calm down and I wanted to leave, but in order to do so, I would have to interrupt the kids play by walking in front of them...I didn't want to do that.

So, I held her close to me and her cries were very muted...she was still crying, but she was starting to calm down. The kids were almost done when the prissy, princess (not in the nice way) attitude portraying mom apporached me and asked me if I would go out because she couldn't hear her child...

I wanted to shout at her and tell her to move away from the back of the room and closer to the front so she could hear, but instead I got up and got the 3 other kids I had with me and walked out of the room and I made sure to tell the teacher that I was asked to leave...

How rude...and if you are reading this and would have been that mom I apologize, and I want you to think of people who have more then one kid and try to make sure that they all get what they need without them thinking that it is a disservice to us...I hope I am not wrong in that...

Anyhow, one of her teachers came to me and said that they would do a private show for me afterwards if I wanted...I said whatever...I can't be bothered seeing that mom again...

Cutie Pie was upset and in tears because apparently I embarassed her...which is why I didn't want to leave in the first place. AHHH...insert all the cursing that I am thinking of right here...

I think I need to homeschool again...so I don't have to deal with ignorance and I can teach my kids how to behave without them being influenced by all the prissy people out there...

Blah, there is my vomit, and if I am wrong I don't really care, this is what I am thinking and feeling right now...

  1. ah yes the life of dealing with other parents! I have had more than my share of that this year too, some people are just plain rude and selfish and nothing we do or say will change them! so it's good to vent and get it all out!

  2. Ugh! Some people are so rude. Why shoud you leave? She couldn't hear her child? By asking you to leave, you didn't get to hear or see your child. What makes her more important? Gah! People like that make me crazy!

  3. Well..my thought is that you should have ignored that lady. Asking you to leave was rude and totally inconsiderate...its not like it was a uncontrollable toddler running around disrupting people..it was an infant. She really should have moved closer to the front....Some people...Ruth you have some of the best behaved children on this planet. Just let that one roll off your back. You were NOT in the wrong and if I was there...Id of had your back...

    ps..want me to b-slap her for you..lol ;)
