i hope i don't offend anyone by this post i don't mean to so please forgive me x
There is a little boy in my 5 yr olds class he only comes to school 3 days a week. He is called Patrick all Reece talks about is Patrick this Patrick that lol
he asked me if Patrick could come for tea and i said yes but you will have to show me him mummy so Reece told me he goes home with his mummy early so i wont see her so i decided i would write a little note for his mum with my number explaining that Reece would like him to come for tea after school one day and give it to Reece to pass on for me.
Well at school this morning a lady with a downs boy came over rather abruptly and said are you reeces mum i said yes and you are?
She said i am Patrick's mum and this is Patrick.
I was quite surprised (but not put off) to be introduced to a little boy with downs because Reece had never mentioned that this boy was any diff iykwim so i said great did you get my note when would be best for you and she said yes i did but no thanks as people like you do not understand people like us!
She picked up Patrick and went on her way leaving Reece very upset and me very stunned.
I don't understand why she reacted this way did i do something wrong?
Reece obviously doesn't have a problem with patrick and i certainly don't i understand that maybe he cant come to mine for tea just as any of the other children could but was there really any need to do that.
If she had been a little more helpful and nice i would of suggested that they come round for a coffee and a play maybe in the hols when mum could come too I am quite upset by it x
like i said before i don't mean to offend anyone i am cr@p with my words lol
