[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually structured my whole adult life so I would always have time for stuff like this. My parents both worked high powered jobs and I was always acutely aware that there wasn’t time for anything. Like if I broke a glass, it wasn’t that they were mad at me for breaking the glass, but now we were going to be late and I could feel the stress.

Here are some options:
1) don’t wear green. Teach your kid to say “I didn’t have any green clothes but I have green snot today” or something, whatever. You don’t have to do this. 
2) find something green like a hat or a Christmas stocking and make that work. 
3) pick a flower from your yard 
4) pick a flower from your neighbors’ yard.

I mean for goodness sake it’s daffodil season.

It sounds like you are time-poor. It’s easy to get that way but it’s not terrific for kids. [/quote]

Whether you are working or not working, who wants this added to their day. I remember the last time they told us to bring a flower, we saw several classmates at the same store at like 7:45am. Today we were late so maybe that is why we didn’t see anyone.

Buy a bouquet and have us Venmo it or have the kids draw a flower.

Can’t wait for staff appreciation week where we are asked to contribute for a class gift, have kid draw a picture, bring a flower, bake cookies, on and on and on.

I don’t know why this especially ticked me off today. This stuff usually doesn’t bother me that much. Maybe because it was 2 days in a row. I have boys who always had green shirts. I felt annoyed yesterday about no green clothing and annoyed today about the flower. It isn’t like I have ever bought my boys green shirts specifically for St Patrick’s Day.[/quote]
