[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your DH is the one insisting on that private school, let him deal with getting her there on time and answering the calls from school if she takes her belt off.

But usually even strict private schools cut the K's a little slack with the uniform. There are the rules as written in the handbook, and there's what actually happens in the classroom. The littlest kids don't usually get in trouble for doing what kids do to their clothes.[/quote]

Then why have rules in the handbook?

DH is gone most of the time. This falls to me.[/quote]

Ah, so you don't actually want advice or to fix things, you just want to bitch and moan about how terrible it is that your child has to attend school on time and wear a uniform.  Well, good luck with the school year![/quote]

So you give bad advice then blame me for not taking it? Weird. I'm glad your spouse is around.[/quote]

There's someone weird on this thread, and it isn't the PP.  People have tried to give you advice and reassure you, and you are just digging in your heels and frankly, being a bitch about it (the PP had no way of knowing that your husband is absentee).  Look, no one is going to agree with you that expecting kids to be on time to school and wear a uniform is unreasonable or draconian or worthy of the stress and anxiety it is causing you.  It's just not.  Your unhappiness about this is totally disproportionate.  Your kid will learn to deal with the uniform.  You will figure out how to get her to school on time.  Millions of people do this all the time.  You can choose to be practical and deal with this, or you can choose to be anxious and resentful and stressed and unhappy.  It's totally up to you.

I say "DH is gone most of the time. This falls to me." and you accuse me of making excuses. Um, ok.

[b]And by the time she adjusts, she may have been expelled. [/b]She's not me. I can't control her. But I'm being punished if she breaks rules. That's not unfair to anyone else?[/quote]

Dp.  They're not going to expell a Kindergartner who takes off her belt.   You're looking for someone to agree with you that it's all really terrible and catastrophic and no one does, because it's not.  Deal with your anxiety issues.  [/quote]
