Okay, can someone clear this up for me. . .My younger son has been going to the same preschool for 3 1/2 years. Before last year, my older son also went there. Over the course of that time period, there have been occasions when I''ve been upset over minor issues. Like for example, every month there was an official birthday party for the kids. On those days, my sons were both sent home with bags of candy. The teachers NEVER gave the candy out in class, so I was always stuck with having to battle my boys over when they could have the candy. It pissed me off, so finally I said NO MORE! That left me as being less than the most respected parent.
Another time, I asked that my kids no longer be given juice because the dentist said no more due to my younger son having two developing cavities. When I mentioned that, nobody looked particularily responsive or pleased but they''ve been serving my son water or milk instead.
Sooo, I''ve made a few other requests, BUT, the newest one was that the other day, I arrived at school and found my son sitting on the floor sucking his thumb and watching other kids play video games. His teach was off to the side playing with some of the other kids. I told her I didn''t want my son watching video games and that he''s only allowed to have any computer contact on Fri. & Sat. (he''s 5). She said okay but then rumour spread around the entire preschool about my son not being able to watch video games. A teacher I didn''t even know came up and commented on it.
My husband told me yesterday that every time I''ve brought up any issue, the teachers give him weird looks when he goes in there. . . he thinks we aren''t liked because we''re not "appathetic like other parents." He basically said just go with the flow. . .
Any thoughts on this? If it matters any, my son is just there PT so I can get errands done and laundry, etc., and then have more one-on-one when he''s home. We pay about $480 per month.
