When you become the mom of an 8 year old, remember not to believe everything your darling child reports to you. Eight year olds LIE. Do not write threatening emails to your child's teacher. Do not tell the teacher that you are going to "hold them responsible" for your child losing their own damn hat 5 times. It's a hat. 5 hats. Face it mom, your kid's irresponsible. Do not tell the teacher that their winter accessories are being stolen. Guess what mom? 8-year olds don't steal gloves. Or hats. They don't want to wear them in the first place... why would they steal more of them? Furthermore, don't bitch to your child's teacher when that's the only form of communication you've ever had with her: Bitching. Show up to parent conferences. Man up, and talk to her face-to-face. Guarantee you won't be so rude. If you keep writing those notes, riddled with spelling errors from your writing fury, she won't take you seriously. In fact, she'll probably show that note to all the other teachers she knows, ridiculing you for spelling "responsability" with an a. Future mom, above all else, don't be a pain in the ass to the person who spends so much time and energy ensuring that your flesh and blood becomes smarter than you are.
Sincerely,
Me.
