i think the best answer is to write the angry thing, but don’t send- instead share with people who will validate your anger and agree that the principal is a dumb butt

I actually just forwarded the email to a friend who has served on PTA and asked if she thought I was crazy for being upset, and getting her advice was helpful.  I have a name of someone from the next level up to help me out.

“Go fuck yourself”

LOL. Forevs, I think you might be a bad influence…
Seriously, I do want to say that, but I don’t think it would be constructive. I’m going to talk to someone from the PTA level above me and see if she has a leg to stand on, and then tell her essentially that. And also that no one else wants this job, and she has no authoriy to fire me, so both of our lives will be a lot less stressful this year if she doesn’t try to censure me. Because it’s not going to work.

Hold me back…

So, I can write a wine-infused angry letter to the principal that will definitely escalate things and make the rest of the year decidedly worse…

OR

I can blow her off and work on the happy fluff of the end of pinto Cleaving chapter.  The heart-eyes post @semperama just compiled is definitely pushing me toward the latter.  I just need a little more bliss to wash that bitchiness out of my system (I hope).

Sigh.

Ugh.

Was just told by the principal of my daughter’s school that I can not contact the school board or superintendent without going through her.

I am PTA president and an active parent in the district. And not her employee.

What’s a mature way to say “you’re not the boss of me”?
