If they make an accomodation for you, they'd have to do it for everyone, so they might as well let everyone just choose their own class, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206239 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 01:46:22 +0000 808love 2206239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a teacher, I wouldn't ask. As a parent, I would. :silly: - I'm so not helpful. It will be a pain and the school will probably say no but it won't hurt your rep if you ask. Speaking as a grown up who was in the same class as my same age cousin for 4th, 5th and 6th grade, it is good to have other friendships and stand on own while not becoming too dependent. I think it will be great for their development to be in different classes. If that happens, try not to compare because either of you might feel one up or one down depending on the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206229 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 00:24:31 +0000 HabesBabe 2206229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't ask for the reason @catomd00: stated. If they won't cling together and are outgoing, then what's the benefit of having them together in the same class? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206223 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 23:55:38 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2206223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No harm in asking!! I think it'd be cute for them to stay together :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206222 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 23:47:00 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2206222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ask. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206162 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 22:08:04 +0000 irene 2206162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can understand where you are coming from. Personally I would ask the school because it would be cute for them both to grow up together. If they can't they'd say they can't, no biggie. At the end of the day I don't think either of them will have a problem. </p> <p>My friend's son and DS are going to the same preschool and in the same class (it was totally unintentional it just happened the way it is), but DS's friend is switching school in August. I am also a bit worried because DS says it daily that XXXXX (my friend's son) is his best friend. Every time after a holiday or a few sick/stay at home days, DS would also say he wants to go back to school and play with XXXX. I've been trying to explain to him that they are switching schools. I hope all will be ok. Fingers crossed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206146 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 21:46:58 +0000 Ra 2206146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: @mrscobee: I'm not really worried about them clinging together. They don't cling together at the activities they're in now. They both have outgoing personalities so neither are uncomfortable in social situations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206143 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 21:45:31 +0000 Greentea 2206143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @catomd00: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206140 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 21:44:20 +0000 ALV91711 2206140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't hurt to ask. I think it would make you *that* mom only if you were pushy or rude about it if they said no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206137 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 21:42:56 +0000 mrscobee 2206137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: agree with this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206128 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 21:33:46 +0000 catomd00 2206128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't because I think it's important for kids to grow and socialize outside their comfort zone. My bff put her daughter in pre-k with her buff and both moms regret it because they have only clung to each other all year long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206125 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 21:31:50 +0000 coopsmama 2206125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd ask without giving it a second thought! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206122 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 21:30:05 +0000 macintosh 2206122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ask if I were you. I only have a newborn, but I think in some ways it's good to be "that parent". It's important to advocate for your child. You'll only come across as overbearing if you make s huge stink about it :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206108 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 21:19:51 +0000 Keybee 2206108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Might as well ask. There is a good chance that a couple of people who registered will drop out before the school year starts or shortly after, so they may have some spots open in the class you want to be in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206106 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 21:17:27 +0000 Smurfette 2206106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think there is any harm in asking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206082 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 21:05:55 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2206082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd totally ask. I don't see the harm in checking if there's room to swap! Who knows, maybe there's another mom in the same position who would happily trade classes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-this-make-me-that-mom#post-2206080 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 21:05:03 +0000 Ra 2206080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a friend who Brady has grown up with since he was an infant. They were in a playgroup together, music class together, My Gym together, etc. We intentionally signed the boys up for the same preschool because we wanted them to go to pre-k together, too. Well, today we got our packets from the school and they aren't in the same class. We weren't aware there were two classes so we didn't think to request that they be placed together.</p> <p>I know it's not the end of the world but we love the idea of the two growing up together and having all these shared experiences. My husband thinks we should just call/email and ask if B can switch classes. I'm worried that will be a huge pain in the ass because the class lists have already gone out. Thoughts? I don't want to come across as *that* mom when school hasn't even started yet. He feels like the worst they can say is no and it's not like we would argue or push the issue so it won't reflect poorly on us at all. </p> <p>I know this is an insanely ridiculous first world problem. </p>
