Girls, this is really tough. Our senior-class homeroom teacher is getting on my nerves. She’s always fussing about contests and events, but she doesn’t seem to care about studying. Yesterday she called and asked if I could participate in the parent patrol. I agreed since I live nearby and I have a child in a wheelchair, but my daughter started coughing at night and had a runny nose. I texted her first thing in the morning to say I wouldn’t be able to participate because my daughter is sick, and she slept poorly. She called me later asking where we were. She hadn’t read my message, even though she's online almost all the time and posts about contests. I told her everything, and she said something like, 'Could you at least call next time?' She didn’t wish us well or show any courtesy. In our daycare, and even the former teacher, they always wished us well if something happened. She knows I have two small children; she could have checked with other parents to see if someone else could step in, since she’s so passionate about this. For me, today is okay, but tomorrow anything could happen. Has anyone else experienced this? 🤷 I’m afraid this might affect my son’s grades.

Well, I wouldn't have agreed to it in the first place.

They are being forced to do this right now.

Feel free to celebrate—you now have a perfect excuse to skip all other activities: 'No, no, no—I'm really afraid of letting you down, like last time. I'd better say no right away so you won't count on me.'

If I had a baby, I wouldn't agree with that at all.

First they'll agree, then ****, and afterward they'll roll out a full tirade of accusations. Laugh.

Liberte Inga She knows how to persuade. I initially refused as well. She started with all this and a ton of other stuff. I was like, okay. Then I realized I probably shouldn't have bothered. I have a two-month-old baby—she sleeps whenever she wants, and if she’s asleep at some point, I’d have to wake her.

Honestly, I think a phone call would have been better than all this writing.

First, you agreed among yourselves, and now you’re whining about it.
Second, no one should have to 'heal' someone else—that’s a strictly personal matter. I wouldn’t wish that on someone who isn’t close to me; yes, that’s the kind of person I am. )))
Third, always call—keep calling. Forget those messages; maybe they didn’t arrive because there was no Internet or something.

Also, you know that with small children every day is unpredictable—so why would you agree to something like this? And in the messenger you can see whether a message has been read or not. The teacher expects you to understand that you have two children and to read messages and take precautions. You should have given proper notice or found a replacement as well. The responsibility lies with you, not only with the teachers.

This is a nightmare.
People can be so cruel.
This has happened to me for the first time.
And I couldn’t call because my daughter was crying in my arms.
I quickly wrote a note and hung up the phone.
Such things can happen to anyone.
They get paid for this, while I’m not paid anything.
The teachers can’t even teach a child properly, so I have to teach them myself.
🤷
But it seems competitions and events are more important to them.
It would be better if they paid extra for grades, not for this.
Then perhaps they’d explain topics in class more clearly.
I’m a gentle person and I can be easily persuaded or I might agree.
But situations vary.
Today you’re healthy, tomorrow you might not.
Would they start throwing slippers at you too?

Why did you even agree, given that you have a young child? The teacher is obviously ignorant, but I wouldn't agree, even if the child weren't sick.
