Hi,
Not been on here for a couple of weeks as Ive had a lovely week off. :D
But just before I went away I had a lady ring me to ask if I could have her 10yr old over Easter. He has ADHD so I agreed to have him 1 day as the other 2days were full. The headteacher at school had given her my number.
We chatted about how to handle him etc and agreed a date. I thought I would be 'professional' (Or not as the case may be) and get a bit of advice off his teacher at the school both he and my daughter go to.
My daughter is the same age and I have been at the school since 2004. All I wanted was a little advice about how she handles him. I didnt want personal stories on how bad he is, or info about the family, just a little advice on how she deals with him throughout the day..
I have NEVER been so upset after talking to her, I cried all day. She is quite an old teacher and basically looked down on me like she had stepped in me.
Her reply was 'It's out of school, you should talk to his mum'. I replied that I just wanted a different perspective on how to handle him as children act differently at home and in different situations. She just replied with the same answer.
No friendliness or smile just a look like she hated me. I have never felt so bad and cried all the way home, trying to hide it from the mindees and my daughter but broke down when I got home when hubbie asked what was wrong.:(
I was trying to be proffesional but reckon I was far from it and afterwards realised I shouldnt have been dissusing his behaviour. That made me feel 10x worse.
Anyway after a good holiday its cleared from my mind but now I am so cross about how she spoke to me...she could have been a bit nicer and explained that she couldnt discuss....HORRID WOMAN
