my mum joked that I"ve probably gone on a list somewhere of potentially derelict parents.
I'm on that list.

Very first day of prep, I didn't pick DD up at all. Well, not until 12.15pm when they were meant to be picked up at 11.30am. The office woman rang me asking me where I was

Problem was, I enrolled DD on the last day of the previous year. I didn't receive all the paperwork. In my ignorance I had no idea preps only did a couple of hours a day for the first few weeks...

So yeah, welcome to the bad mum club

Ps. It hasn't had bearing on her schooling or mental health that I am aware
