So on Friday my mother-in-law kindly collected Nathaniel from pre-school for me while I was at work. I arrived home to find one very excited three year old proudly clutching a brown treasure chest and a message from my mother-in-law to the effect of "the staff said mummy would know what to do with it!"
Oh dear!
Unfortunately I have clearly not read the newsletter pertaining to this term's activities.
This mummy does not have a clue what we are supposed to do with an empty treasure chest!
I am assuming perhaps we might be expected to fill it with Nat's special treasures for some kind of show and tell?
But what if we are expected to fill it with toys to be given away and I send him in back to pre-school with all his favourite toys?
So now I am riddled with guilt for being a working mum that (a) does not read helpful and informative newsletters from pre-school which contain all the information I might need to know and (b) does not get to collect little one who is armed with exciting 'project' and therefore misses chance to clarify nature of said 'project'.
Do I take a guess at what I think we are supposed to do and risk having to replace all the 'treasure' if it 'goes missing'?
Do I call another parent and admit what a bad mummy I am?
Do I contact the pre-school tomorrow and be branded as a mum who lives a disorganised and chaotic lifestyle and who can't even be bothered to familiarise myself with my little angel's curriculum?
mmmmm not a great choice of options.
Lets hope my friend Hannah is a good mummy who reads all son's newsletters and who can tell me what to do.
Hannah - PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!
