Yup, I worked as a school nurse and these parents think their kid is the only one in the world....these are helicopter parents when their kid is little and when they get into middle school HS the kids seem to be left to flounder on their own...they are not doing their children any favors.... I sometimes think the school nurse was the only place of comfort these kids had....
My favorite school story is a mom calling in with a complaint that one of the words used on the spelling list was fat. “We do not use the word fat in our home, we say fluffy instead.” I guess both mom and child were “fluffy”
We have some in the high school who are still this way...particularly that the rules apply to everyone but their little darling....
My child was having lots of problems in 3rd grade. All year long I tried working it out with the district. She would hold her ears and yell “shut up” “shut up” “shut up” when we got in the car. Her behavior changed dramatically, and she was constantly getting headaches.
The principal told my husband and I that I was the reason my daughter was having problems.
Now the thing is, my daughter has a brain injury, but when I brought up my concerns everyone thought it was stress related.
Well, last October, my daughter had a grand mal seizure.
After that, she had a very abnormal EEG. She is now on anti-seizure medication, and she is much better. Now, when I say my daughter is having problems, everyone listens.
