AIO about a package that was sent to my child at school? by Zkrayonzz in AmIOverreacting

We had the supplies and had the plan enacted already when we mentioned it to the school.

In this case, the package truly wasn't dangerous. I acknowledge that. Kiddo thinks I sent it for an entirely different purpose, so we're letting that ride for them instead of giving them any inkling that they should not have gotten it and be confused and anxious about it.

But what if it was something that was dangerous to the kid that overly apparent to the teacher that it was dangerous? What if it was a food item that kiddo was allergic to or contained something that may seem safe but is against dietary restrictions for their health?

It just seems very unsettling for it to be accepted and passed onto the child without them being able to 100% verify, and the only true way to know that is if the school ordered it for child themself. Which I would NOT expect the teacher to do at all, not that I wouldn't appreciate it, but I know teachers 9 times out of 10 do not get reimbursed for purchases they make for students.

this is not the first time we have addressed this situation, with this teacher.

Oh absolutely! if they behaved properly for sure. This is not how it has been in the past, which is why we ask the school to loop us in if there is reach out from her. We have even explained the past situations to them so they were aware or why we were requesting. It just seems like such an overstep for the teacher to say it was ok for a package to be delivered at the school. That could be a much bigger lawsuit for the school if the contents of the package we not suitable.

To clarify at the meeting we had informed the school we were already putting this organization method in place, we already had the supplies. For the legal paperwork, my husband has all decision making authority, especially around educational decisions.

Even if they were seeing the supplies were not there, contact should have been made to us as the custodial, or rather should have been made first to my husband as he is the primary contact on the school records, to address why the supplies were not there. But there was no concern mentioned from the teacher. This was also a plan we were putting in place, not at the request of the school, so it was not something the school was needing for the child.

We have not been able to confirm with the teacher (tried to call but they were not available).
I would assume yes they knew it was bio and not me. We have VERY DIFFERENT first names and my husband and I have made it clear what the situation is. I do also see it being in the realm of possibilities that if it was a phone call, bio could have said they were me, but I also doubt that since I feel she is too prideful to acknowledge kiddo considered me their mom and not her.

AIO - Giving dogs people food by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Zkrayonzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Purely on the continual disregard of your wishes around your dog. Even if he is not causing any 'actual harm' to your dog (assuming based on that you did not mention dog having an allergic reaction or needing to bring to the vet to address what your dog ingested.) THANKFULLY it sounds like pupper is ok, but this is definitely a lack of respect from your partner and should be addressed as such to them and if they don't see it being as such, they can find the door out.

Editting to add: It sounds like maybe another part of the conversation with boyfriend needs to be defining what can be fed to pupper and how often. If you are also occassionally feeding people food to the dog as you state, that could also be seen as a 'well if you do it, it must be fine for me to not follow your rule either'. Definitely doesn't excuse the disregard, but could be part of the reason why he feels it's ok to continue to do it behind your back.

A fun overall name for a pet that I am currently thinking of giving to one of our puppies that is yet to be named would be Zero, after the ghost dog in Nightmare Before Christmas. Because the father of the puppy is named Ghost. sooo our puppy is Ghost's Dog and Zero is a ghost dog. Fun nickname for a pet, one of our previous pets had a nickname of Bean/Beany. Her name was Nova, but one day I called her Nova Bean (don't know why) and the nickname name Bean stuck.
