A "Mommy's" rant and questions.

[Purrde Flower]

The last day of school, last year, my son's principal phoned me to tell me that they hadn't gotten his lunch bill payment and would be holding his report card until they did. (He forgot to bring home the bill) I asked how much was owed and almost laughed out loud when she said, Three dollars. I've volunteered at this school, my mother was a substitute teacher there for years, they know me for goodness sakes! Not to mention that amount was so minimal. She finally agreed that I could mail it in and he'd get his report card.

They do have to follow rules. Changing rules for one means they have to change them for everyone. At least they called you and told you about it instead of you wondering where the report card was and having to find out about it yourself.

At my daughter's school, they have a choice between juice, milk, and bottled water. Lots of lactose intolerant kids at her school.

Jucie for breakfast or lunch? They don't do juice for our lunches.. but at breakfast they get both juice and milk.. I would prefer my child to getr the milk though at lunch because it is bigger than the juice.

They are also allowed to charge 2 lunch and 2 breakfast on their accounts.

Ice Cream cost an extra 50 cents because... well its a normal sized Ice Cream like you would get at the convient store.

Gatoraid can be bought for an extra 50 cents also.

Another thing.. How was she told she couldn't have it? In a really mean nasty way? Was there a reason she was told and maybe forgot? My 7 year old still forgets to tell me things she was told at school but remebers half of it. Did the person snatch it out of her hand rudely?

Get on the phone now and call them if you can't go down there.

She wasn't told "why", they removed the juice from her hand and told her she could not have it.

I'm calling now. Thanks everyone for all the insight.

Gee. When that happened to me, my mommy went to the school herself. Turns out I was in outer space, as usual, and had NO IDEA of what they were really telling me at school. When mommy and the school got together on it, and then filled me in, it worked great, and no one had to go postal.

I wrote a letter to the school and I want to see what they have to say FIRST. I also wrote down the tag number of the idiot driver, and I am calling the highway department to report him. I don't know what good it will do...but I'm doing it.

Raising a famliy is a stressful business .. Take a weekend away with your husband and no children and when you come back you'll be able to laugh in the face of all craziness

Perhaps Aaran sorts from oldest to newest... or maybe he posted this in 2002 but the internets being what they are, it just got here... or maybe he is a troll trying to rub salt... or maybe he is just a dumb n00b that does not realize the life span for a thread on the GB is about a half an hour?

*shrug*

I only posted bc I myself didn't check the post start date, read through the whole thing, checked the post date and felt cheated. Its safe to say at the hour I reach lit everything on the first page was started that day.

A reminder that some things never change?
