I'll be Famous in my Next Life

Interesting question, in a way. I've occaisionally wondered if anything in my life was worthy of writing a 'memoir' about, and I've occasionally wondered if I could take the ramblings on this blog and make it into a story, but generally I don't think I'm that interesting to anyone who isn't a friend or family member.

Speaking of family members - I have a question for you all. How would you feel if your sibling phoned your chlid's school and asked for his IEP becuase she doesn't think you're doing enough to help him?

O.o

Your sister, I assume? Can you sic your mom on her? Holy crap, that's staggeringly intrusive.

Incredibly angry. To the point of cutting off all contact for a while.

This. I would have to avoid saying anything for risk of saying something rash.

WTF??? I'd be highly pissed, of course!

I'd be pretty pissed off.

I hope the school did not give her any info...? I'd be really pissed and would probably have to cut off contact to stop myself from doing something Slytherin to her.

I would be very very very angry. It is one thing to have a conversation with you, but quite another to assume that she has any right to your child's records. I hope to god they didn't give them to her.

I think my reaction would depend on who it was and whether or not you were aware they had concerns about the situation. Although, having discussed things to do with Charlie with you before, I don't doubt you are doing your best for him, I do wonder if it's worth asking yourself if said family member is aware of all that you do or if you haven't made your reasons for your approach clear. Is there any chance that they might feel entitled to intervene because you've turned to them for support in the past ?

No family member should do what this person has done without your permission. I'm just trying to think of resasons why they thought it would be acceptable.

What's IEP?

Of course, you already know my answer to this. I don't tolerate that kind of boundary overstepping. Has she pushed you in the past like this? Seems like back-seat momming to me.

IEP = Individualized Education Program.

Re: sibling? I'd be extremely furious, and probably spend a long time yelling at them. I hope the school refused firmly to give them any information.
