Well exactly as the title says...my 4 year old daughter, obviously tired of my dithering has taken matters into her own hands!
The background is that I was bought up in the troof, and began my fade about 6 months ago. I had been talking to my daughter about us not going to the meetings anymore and she accepted it very well. She was always the noisiest child there anyway and really didnt do sitting still for 2 HOURS, although she did like the bit at the end where you get to run around and knock as many people over as possible, plus there was a lady there who handed out sweets (so that kept here focused )!!!!
Anyway, the routine is that my parents collect her from nursery, which has been working fine, until yesterday that is. I went straight from work to collect her and her younger brother from my parents house. As I arrived I sensed tension. Apparently my mum had been approached by the nursery teacher who asked if my daughter celebrated birthdays or not, as she had told everyone in nursery that now she could sing happy birthday!!! My mother as you can imagine was furious! It got worse. She then asked my daughter what she meant. My daughter replied. " My mummy isnt a witness anymore, and I dont want to be one either! So we can celebrate birthdays now!!!"
Well I had hoped to be far more tactful than that, but I guess now they know.
As you can imagine, we didnt stay long, but made a swift exit home!
Kids, dont you just love em!
So for those of you who are worried about how your little ones will take it, they'll manage just fine!
