thanks for the guilt trip



Dear 3rd grade teacher - 

Uncool. I understand that you need to fill your day with fun activities to help pass the very long school year with my child, but WHY do you need to drag me into it? 

The last I checked, Mother’s Day is this SUNDAY (on the WEEKEND) - not Friday at 2pm in the school cafeteria. The fact that you’ve had my child working on a poem for the past three weeks (and he is all ready to read aloud to me in front of his class) - just really upsets me. I can’t be there. I’ve explained to him that I can’t wait to see him when I get home from work and that I love him very much. BTW, I also gave him a pass on the “please dress in your Sunday best” - since he really won’t be having tea with me. Hope that’s okay.

Tonight we’re going to ride bikes together. And I’ll look forward to my Mother’s Day (the REAL one) on Sunday.
