and look, another angry capslocked letter.

Dear Child's School,

REALITY CHECK TIME. NOT ALL PARENTS STAY HOME. AND NOT EVERY PARENT WHO STAYS HOME HAS INFINITE AMOUNTS OF TIME. I don't know about OTHER PARENTS, but I actually have a LIFE that does not include my child (as horrifying as you may find that, I don't sit here like a puppet with the strings cut every morning as he leaves the house; I'm more likely to be counting down minutes until he DOES leave the house so I can GET SHIT DONE.) FURTHERMORE I AM TRYING TO WRITE HERE. Not to mention I frequently have more doctors' appointments than you have STAFF MEETINGS. I have an appointment with some specialist or another booked EVERY WEEK ALL THE WAY INTO APRIL/EARLY MAY, and that's after dealing with FOUR medical professionals THIS WEEK. So if you want me to DO SOMETHING, giving, oh, I don't know, MORE THAN THREE DAYS NOTICE? That would be GOOD. I would LIKE THAT.

YOU HAD TIME MANAGEMENT? BUT YOU EATED IT.

Me.

This is why we must be apart. So I do not attempt to defend you against the wretched vicissitudes of the child's school. I knew there was a good reason. :p

Seriously, what are they thinking?
