Best of luck at drop-off on Monday!

What I dislike about what you said in response is that you were not respecting your son's body language to you, that he didn't want physical affection.

What the hell!?!

No. You're the one making big assumption here. It was a joke for crying out loud! Don't be so freaking literal.

OH MY GOD. You people are insufferable and are going to raise the most neurotic kids ever.

This. She was trying to make light of the fact that you weren't getting a reciprocal kiss. NBD

This... OP you have no sense of humor. It was a joke, move on. I think your response is the weird one.

Yes, you overreacted. The teacher was reacting to the fact that your child turned away.

If your kid is uncomfortable with goodbye kisses in the room in front of the other kids, get your goodbye hug & kiss when you get out of the car or before you walk into the building and you won't create a scene like you did when you forced him and retorted to the teacher.

You were making your kid kiss you. He didn't want to. Teacher tried to ease the situation. I am super affectionate with my kids but would never make them kiss me if they didn't want to. Boo.

The teacher was freaking kidding, like saying "don't embarrass me in front of my friends, mom!." I can't with you people.

Uh, I hope this is a troll post.

Teachers read DCUM. Heck, everyone reads DCUM.

If this really happened, chances are the teacher knows you posted it.

Have fun at drop-off on Monday.

Neither OP nor the teacher said the right thing.

Lighten up, Lady.

And how do you expect to teach your son "no means no" when you routinely force him to kiss you? Befuddling.

It was a joke. Chill.

I've been a teacher for 15 years and need to switch for my own mental health. The amount of criticism and scrutiny is INTENSE compared to just a decade ago.

She was trying to be funny and silly. Yikes OP take a deep breath and smile.
