The receptionist found it funny, leading to a 5 minute conversation on the struggles of menopause. She actually recinded the late marks.

  2. Okay but the child was still late in modern day society.

  3. Your kids were at school today? Mine are on half term.

  4. What’s up with all these late warnings, fines and proof of illness?

    Isn’t it all a bit counter productive?

  6. Your other half is either A: Scary as fuck. B: Funny as fuck. C: All of the above.

  7. Damn, I was not expecting to read this.

    Bit over the top tbh.

  8. Maybe you should give her the advice you gave someone else struggling with life in your comment history:

    “Aye, life sucks. Get a crash helmet. Guess what? It gets worse.”

  11. What school requires your child to be there at 8:15?? When I went I’d stroll in at 9 on the dot.

  12. And what did you do to get YOUR children to school on time?

  13. Id say your home life is pretty tough at the moment.

  15. It’s a good thing school receptionists are known for their levity and humour.

  18. I feel sorry for teachers, don’t know how they put up with crap like this.

  19. Not going the way you hoped is it, mate?

    Your other half comes across as rude and a bit of tit if I’m honest.

  20. Ah yes, using the menopause as an excuse for bad parenting. Hilarious. Doesn’t add credence at all to the idea that older women shouldn’t have children because they’ll turn into feral monsters before the children have had chance to grow up. 

  23. Ahhhhh you’re the parents they always dread speaking to at parent’s evening then. There’s always a couple.

  24. Sometimes things just go wrong and we all need to cut each other some slack. The email gave me a laugh, hope she’s feeling better now. Don’t blame her for responding like that

  25. Aw my god chick this is sooo funny you told them lol xxxx

  26. Bet she thought she was pretty clever, didn’t she?

  27. Is it too much to ask these days for a parent to just accept some fucking responsibility? Jheez

  28. Utter nonsense. You are responsible for getting your kids to school on time. Nobody cares if you’re menopausal or not

  31. Your wife’s email is inappropriate. Everyone has a story and an excuse, I don’t see the relevance of that to the email sent to her from the school?

    Imagine seeing that email your wife sent, and then being proud of it enough to want to post it here lol.

  32. This you?

    ‘Aye, life sucks. Get a crash helmet. Guess what? It gets worse.’

  35. Wait a second… this isn’t r/traumatizeThemBack. Poor lady was just doing her job 🙁

  37. feel bad for the children who live in a dystopian nightmare where they are in trouble for not robotting well enough every single day. it doesnt even get better when ur an adult, you just start barely getting paid… retirement? try having senior aged health problems and get back to me about how fun it gets… i used to skip class because i only got punished for being late.

  39. Debbie downer living up to her name then eh

    (You didn’t do a great job blocking out the name)
