[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This woman did all the work of setting up and running this program, and you're shitting on her for making sure your daughter got a note?

OP and your daughter have sensitivity/anxiety issues. That's OK. We all do. But you need to work on that, and not rage out on everyone around you for their completely normal, civil, *caring*, behavior, or else you'll isolate yourselves even further. [/quote]

Not Op, but come on. What work did she do? Telling a few kids to write a few notes and messing it up so that OP’s kid didn’t have a match? No, this lady came up with a stupid idea and then half-assed it. Maybe she should focus on doing one thing right at a time instead of having her hands in a lot of different pots and doing everything badly?[/quote]

+1. This is a terrible idea. We just need to stop with this kind of thing and Bigs/Littles in general. it creates too much drama. A couple of the moms in my girl scout troop wanted to do a secret santa exchange. It was all great until both of these girls didn't like their secret santa partners. Suddenly moms want to change the rules. Let the kids trade people etc. It is ridiculous. Too much social engineering.[/quote]

+ 200. It’s not just stupidity in play; it’s some moms trying to control other moms and it’s ridiculous. OP is right about this crap. Of course the aholes here are attacking her.[/quote]

People are attacking OP because this is such an over reaction. Over something that she/daughter didn’t even want to do initially—yet apparently wasn’t mandatory and they could have opted out of from the beginning. OPs daughter ends up going above and beyond by busting out the gel pens and are disproportionately disappointed when the note she received did not meet their expectations.

Like, this should be such a non-issue. Should have opted out from the start, and shouldn’t be that “weirded out and sad” by getting one note that was written by a parent—regardless of the reason why. And to top it off there’s only three meets left so the note program will resolve itself by ending after three more meets. This just isn’t something worth ruminating on. Especially if it’s been good for OP and her kid for almost the whole season
