Cold feet!

12 yo wouldn't pack her school bag on Sunday night and she was still day dreaming in the morning so we were in a rush to make it to school in time. Sat down to my desk at 9.30am and got a call almost immediately:

M: I can't find my PE shoes.
E: Where did you leave them?
M: Dunno, your house or mine. Can you get them for me?
E: Not now, I need to prepare for a meeting. What are you doing in PE?
M: Badminton.
E: Well you should be alright in bare feet.
M: But I'll get cold. 🙄
E: Not if you run around enough. 😁
M: *realises call is going nowhere* . . FINE! . . *ends call abruptly*

I phoned her at lunch to catch up.

M: Miss G told me off for being disorganised and forgetting stuff and I had VERY COLD FEET, but NOBODY CARES about my feelings 🤣🤣🤣

Bless her heart. Should be a learning lesson for her to have her stuff prepared ahead of time.
Thank you for standing strong and not rushing her gym shoes over to her.

@HappyCamper74 Yesterday I went to the first place she assured me she assured me she had looked in and of course they were there 🤦‍♀️ Went to the school and sat in reception so she could have them before her next PE lesson. Quite pleased with myself, only it turns out that it's gymnastics on Thursday and "of course we don't wear shoes for gymnastics" 😩

@SunshineGirl ur probably going to have to help her prepare and get her things together on Sunday evenings to keep that from happening again. Ur such a good mom to M. I hope u will get full custody of her soon. I believe u both need each other.
