You wrote that she sa...I'm being literal here. You wrote that she said she didn't want your daughter to pick up her brother and that a wave would be safer. Meaning, literally, don't pick him up. He could fall and get hurt. <br />Schools can be sued. They want to avoid kids being hurt. I think that's what the teacher was after.<br />Your kids interpreted that they should not hug. I think it would be okay for either you or the kids to clarify if hugging with both feet on the ground is okay.<br />As for the refusal of help... she might literally mean she does not need additional help. She might be touchy. Take the high road and think that perhaps she's not being a witch. You'll stress less.<br />I think that her apology for bringing stress to the family is a good thing, as it shows it was not her intention to stress your children. Sometimes we (as adults) say things quick meaning one thing (and kids) hear another. I think it would be good to clarify with her about hugging, so as not to step on anyone's toes. imho.CassandraMadeItnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22258965.post-13638729827769189382010-09-17T10:17:55.416-04:002010-09-17T10:17:55.416-04:00i think the fact that she so curtly told you she d...i think the fact that she so curtly told you she didn't need help made me just as mad as her saying the kids can't hug. boooooo!emily grace [long distance lobsters]https://www.blogger.com/profile/05820053107895112759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22258965.post-74884328048013623332010-09-15T20:54:56.930-04:002010-09-15T20:54:56.930-04:00I don't think I ever had to worry about that w...I don't think I ever had to worry about that when I was little.

Maybe your next e-mail should read "Let me rephrase. Since I wasn't able to attend the Open House, I would like to meet with you in person.

When she asked why was he so concerned he said Sam wasn't feeling well this morning and he was worried!!! Now I never want them to be disruptive but a little love goes a long way!!<br />I love you!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
