Went to collect my 10 year old boy from school and the headmistress asks to see me. Fearing the worst, she leads me to her office where my boy is sat down writing an 'apology' letter to one of the girls in his class.

 

Apparently this girl was taking the piss out of him during lunch break in front of his mates so he responds "Were you born on the M1 Darcy?"

 

"No" she replies. "Why?"

 

"Cos that's where all the accidents happen" he says (top joke son, proud of ya )

 

The girl bursts out crying and grasses him up to the dinner lady who gets the headmistress involved etc.

 

I ask why the girl isn't getting a bollocking but apparently my lad can't be arsed to get in her trouble and takes all the flack himself.

 

I mean, WTF?

Should call her 'Miss Trunchbull' the next time you see that headmistress..

 

You could have a slight claim of sexism, there; with the girl not getting into trouble for starting this situation in the first place..

 

What your lad said in response is quite similar to some of the jokes you put on here, tbh..

Normally people that go on about the world being too soft love wilfully misrepresenting things to fit their agenda, but that is well soft. He should probably have been made to apologise to the girl and that's the end of the matter.

Blimey, had better days. 

 

Finally persuaded by the other half to go to A+E this afternoon after I twisted my knee slipping off a step ladder on Friday night and was expecting to be home around 8pm.

 

Had the triage (feels like possible ligament damage they said) had X-ray and could not believe she said I've broken my leg in 2 places and with them being pretty bad have to have surgery first thing and likely to be in for around 3 nights.

 

They have just sorted me a bed out on a ward which is in total darkness and nobody from the ward has come to see me yet. 

 

First ever time on a hospital ward and obviously never had to stay overnight. Never had any sort of surgery and the thought of being put under for the Op is terrifying. 

 

Can't believe I've been walking/hobbling around for days with a sodding broken leg

Nasty that is. I broke my leg quite badly when I was 16 about a week before christmas. Was worried id be in for Christmas as they had to wait for swelling to go down before they could operate, but got out a day before christmas eve. Got stuck in the adults ward with the next youngest being a bloke in his 40s. He broke his leg playing football and like you hobbled around on it for a few days, ended up driving himself to hospital. 

 

I had the option of staying awake for my surgery. If you get that option, dont take it. They injected stuff in the base of my spine which was excruciating. Was horrible, hearing it and feeling my hip vibrate whilst they worked on on my ankle. Couldn't feel my legs for 24 hours after, needed nurses to help me go toilet etc which at 16 was horrible. I only took that option as like you, it was my first time and I was scared. Since then, I've been under 3 times and its absolute bliss. Lie in a bed, breath in a mask and you black out in a few seconds. When you wake up, it feels like it was only moments ago you went to sleep. You feel quite groggy and sleep it off. I will always take that option now.

 

Good luck with it!

Double standards and something ive witnessed myself growing up as the one of few minority persons at school.

 

My son was chattting to a classmate (both are 6). They had been talking about those kid nerf guns and the boy turns to my son and says "your work is stupid" or "your work is dumb". Either way it was "mean" but whatever no big deal. My son got pissed off and snapped back "im gunna come to your house and shoot you". Not cool at all to reply with that of course. Let me remind you this was the friday before remembrance day and they had been talking about the war and guns in class.

 

 

Rinnnnnnnnng ringggggggg...prinicpal calls daddy. Daddy sighs...daddy is asked if he has guns at home (no i dont). Pick him up from school after work and sit him down to talk about how its inappropriate to say those kinds of things at school and tried to explain why given the obvious....also revoke some play time, toys all that jazz to teach him a lesson about being careful what you say. We dealt with it basically.

 

The bloody stupid arsed parents of the other boy were livid that the school didnt suspend him and called the bloody police 2 days later on a 6 year old boy! Are you effing kidding me? Do you really think a 6 year old is going to come bust a cap in yo ass? Kids say dumb shit (as parents im sure you can all relate to that). So then i had to go to the school for a  meeting with the prinicpal, my son and a community police officer.  Both didnt want to be there but had to because of the complaint.

 

I feel like the other parents wanted to scare my son and "teach him a lesson" as if they thought his parents wouldnt parent him or punish him for his poor choice of words.  Im a very hands on father, my wife has been a teacher for over 10 years herself and actually teaches the same grade that my son is in. She knows exactly what kind of stupid and inappropriate shit kids say at that age. I dont like to jump the gun but i wonder if my name wasn't ethnic sounding and was Dave Smith or something if they would have still called the police (ya, i know over reaction)..  as i said the police and principal were embarassed to have to talk to me. My wifes colleagues and prinicipal at her school all laughed at how far the other parents took it. I acknowledge it was inappropriate on my sons behalf and perhaps the principal could have arranged for us to meet with the other parents just to let them know its a stupid comment and we will deal with him etc.

 

You know my son wears custom orthotic devices since he was 2. Kids at times have picked on him or made childish comments about it (and he says it bugs him) but he is a smart kid and sticks up for himself. He doesnt let anyone bully him or talk smack. A very good boy, smart as feck too (top of his class). He does has some impulsive behavior but again we work on it.  One kid has hit my son on many occasions and i've told him to stick up for himself without getting violent which he does. Never have i called the prinicipal about it as kids say and do dumb things and you just have to figure it out  (unless it gets to that bullying stage or persistent enough).

 

Btw we had our son write an apology letter to the classmate before they had called the cops. The other boy never aplogized for his insensitive quip about my sons work. Lets just brush that part under the rug and only focus on my sons comment as it was worse. But again, stupid thing kids say right?  No biggy we move on as does my son.

FFS Jatt that's ridiculous - and I think my kids school over reacted!!

 

I'm pissed off that my kids school didn't take the girl to task too and the wife has had a word. Apparently my boy was playing by a puddle in the playground and the girl said he'd pissed himself and all his mates started laughing. Rather than 'report' the girl, he just made a joke back and got into trouble about it.

 

I asked him why he didn't mention what the girl did and he said it was just playground banter and he didn't want to see her get into trouble too. The kids too nice (like his Dad ) and doesn't want to make a big deal of things.

 

P.S. Your son sounds cool as fvck. You must be well proud of him mate

In your situation sadly i think your son was the  biggest adult on the day. Good for him for  firing back and sticking up for himself in a banter way. Its what kids do.  Never a bad thing having a too nice kid. He clearly knows when to give it back and thats what you want. 

 

Like you (im sure) i am extremely proud of my son. He can be a little shit like all kids can be but thats part of growing up and finding your way. For the majority of it he is fantastic. He has fantastic memory, super loving and caring, brilliant with math, reading, loves to play  and make new friends. Always asks why, how. Wants to help me when working on the car  or doing construction at home etc. Loves to garden and dig snow  which is a major helll yesssss!  Long may it last! I will take off my daddy goggles now lol.

 

You know he was born about 1.5 years after my  mom passed of cancer. From seeing death to seeing birth i felt like i was reborn that day and I've been blessed since.

I woke up the other day in the back seat of my car, underneath a sleeping bag in the parking lot of a Canadian Tire, somewhere between Guelph and Fergus Ontario.

Got my final two university offers today. Very happy.

[Parafox]

My day was fine until I drove into a supermarket car park to discover that all the disabled and parent/child spaces were occupied. Not that it was a problem for me as an able bodied person with adult children, but you just know it's going to really **** up your shopping trip.

[Kopic]

 

Went out to a gig tonight. Was brilliant.

 

Got home to discover my grandad, who has been suffering from dementia for a while now, had collapsed. Taken away in an ambulance on blues to God knows where. I'm so worried for him. Hes lived in his house that he built with his own hands, since my father was a baby, and now hes just been taken away. My uncle, who has looked after him up to this point, has autism and is inconsolable right now. Does anyone, eg @Parafox or any medical person, know where people get taken in such a situation? We have received no info, as direct family, about where he has been taken. We are so worried  for him and dont know where hes gone.

[Parafox]

I'm so sorry to hear this. Personally, I always try to make contact with a relative or friend if we take someone who is like your grandad, to hospital.

 

If he's gone on blues in an ambulance, he would almost certainly have gone to A&E. I don't know where your grandad lives but you could ring the local A&E and enquire. Alternatively you could ring 999, ask the operator for the ambulance service, once through to the call handler explain the situation and give details of address he was picked up from, roughly the time the ambulance was called etc. They should be able to go back through the call logs and find out where he was taken.

 

It's probable that the crew would have asked for next of kin contact details so, if you know who that is, they might have been contacted by the hospital, particularly if your grandad is unable to communicate due to his dementia. I'm surprised the crew didn't take your uncle as an escort. Maybe there was a reason for this, I don't know.

 

I hope you find him well and in good hands.

Thanks for that, very much appreciated. He ended up at LRI a&e. Other than his brain he is fine so will probably be coming home this afternoon.

Thanks, yeah he seems as ok as a person can be going through that. I was indeed, top night! Drank a bit too much though, and now I'm off to work for the first time since the end of August after dislocating my shoulder. Great day ahead.

That's good news, I expect that seems like a good outcome given the confusion of last night.

 

I was at that gig too. I had just the 2 pints, school night and that. Cracking show, though
