Hey readers,
As a parent, it can be lovely but also moments of pure irritation and there are few elements of being a school parent that is really annoying so below I have discussed them.
Of course, homework had to be at the top. I think homework should be banned for primary school children, it is just constant work and trying to get kids motivated.
Yes, some love it but my kids hate having to do something that is forced upon them. It is stressful for everyone and a lot of pressure for parents which could potentially cause conflict in the home.
2. Paperwork.
If homework isn't enough to deal with you always seem to have constant letters and paperwork to fill out.
You also have to remember to do it and return it. I cannot trust my child to hand it in as it will be in the back when it gets home after school even though you have asked them to hand it in.
So, trying to remember water bottles, getting kids out of the door, and safely to school have to remember to hand in that dame slip on time, grrrr!
3. Cash.
Ok, these pro-covid times but having to have cash, who has cash???? I only tend to have my money card. You need short change as well to pay for stuff such as tickets or raffles.
Normally it is at the end of the day where you completely forget to go to the cashpoint before picking up your darling children.
4. Other parents.
Do I need to say anymore! Jokes though serious I don't understand playground dynamics, can't really be arsed with cliques.
I just can't be bothered to hear about people's opinions on their little darlings. I am already fucked being autistic and yet again feel like an outsider.
5. Headlice.
This is something once your kids hit school will receive frequent letters informing you that there is a case of headlice.
I am already itching thinking about it. Plus if you have already treated your child and got rid of the little sods there will be another child in their class who for whatever reason still has nits and you bet your child will come home the same day with them.
I may as well just through money down the drain with the amount sometimes we have to buy on head lice treatment.
6. Being on time.
Yes once you finally remember everything and your child is ready to leave and then just like that they forget something at the very last minute.
Or if you are walking at a reasonable pace but you have to constantly shout hurry up we are going to be late because your little darlings won't stop dawdling behind.
7. Dates.
Having to remember all these dates such as parent's day, sats, after school club, extra meetings with teachers, listening to lectures on how to help your child learn the time's tables, on it goes. It just never stops with the dates flying at you.
8. Dress-up day.
I bloody hate it because I have to fork out extra money for one day or use my imagination which is something I am not good at so extra ball achy don't really need.
So, is there anything that I have missed off the list that annoys you as a school parent? Love to hear your thoughts in the comment section down below.
Cheers for reading X
