My dd is aged 10 in a small school.
We have 1 class parent.
A new family arrived in September ( its expats so there is always movement), the mother is VERY involved. Far too much so, according to me, and some other mothers.
The new excited woman is immersed herself way to much in the classroom, she is not the class parent.
She attends every birthday party & makes escuses not to leave. She is very critical of my dd ( who can be quite a handful at times admittedly), and on one school trip told my dd off in front of me with teachers present. During said school trip this mother also interrupted the teacher and attempted to point out artwork details " that Mrs Smith forgot to tell you about".
Several other mums have expressed concerns that she questions the children inappropriately..ie, what does your dad do? Do you always come to school alone? Where do you live? Etc.
I suspect she is using the children and the school to garnish information about families for her own reasons.
I know i feel that her constant need to be in the class room is directly affecting my dd's experience this year as she's not very inclusive of her.
To get to my problem....
The teacher asked me if my dh would come as the class helper to a school outing. Only one parent per class. My dh has blocked a whole day in his diary and is looking forward to attending....
However new excited woman has told the teacher she "will come anyway".
My dh has asked me to get assurances from the teacher that he will be the only parent helper as required so that he doesn't end up reorganising his diary when he's not needed.
Should i address this with the teacher...AIBU?
