Mother of the Year…. NOT!!!
Posted on 9.8.07 at 8:51 pm
On Friday my son’s Kindergarten class celebrated Grandparent’s Day.
To celebrate they were allowed to invite a grandparent to school from 9:45 – 10:30 for juice, books, etc.
Well unfortunately my father had to work, and my mother could not attend because she cares for my youngest and does not drive.
To make a long story short, SM was the only child who did not have a grandparent attend. He was devastated and told me that he cried.
I feel like the worst mom on the planet. I wanted to cry myself when he told me. If I would have known it was such a big deal I would have left work and driven my mother there.
You can bet that I won’t let something like this happen again.

What a bummer. I’m sure he’ll be ok. I can’t believe ALL the other children had Grandparents there. What are the odds?

Awww. that is so sad! My kids don’t have any grandparents close by so they wouldn’t have had anyone there either.
Poor guy! Maybe you can let him throw a grandparent day party at home for them!

I would feel horrible too, but he won’t even remember it next week.
He will have many happy memories that will override this one!
