If you remember last year J had an issue on the day of his Kindergarten concert and he wasn't allowed to go at a parent's request. I was blindsided and it was when were struggling with getting a dx and I just didn't stand up for him and let my inner Mom out and I was filled with regret. It was lots of advice here that helped me become a better advocate for him.
That's the back story.
Tonight was his school's Spooktacular and one of the silent auction items was 4 reserved front row seats at the 1'st grade concert. The Mom from last year placed a bid right before I walked up to the table and I glared at her with my side eye and placed a bid before she could walk away. The night went on and other people bid. I noticed that seconds before bidding was closing she placed another bid. I walked right up behind her gave her the dirtiest look humanly possible and doubled her bid and handed the piece of paper to the person collecting the sheets.
Check mate. I was bad ass and I'm going to stroll into that concert as soon as I find out when it is and act like royalty.
I feel like I'm in middle school. I'm giddy with revenge. This could be a flameable post but if you saw that Mom tonight you all would have cheered me on. I'm so not a martyr anymore.
I still can't believe they did that to him last year. Children who struggle with behavior at school benefit so much from participating in things like evening concerts. More than most kids, they desperately need some positive experiences at school.
If you don't want to rehash please ignore, but how on earth could another parent keep your son from his school concert? What kind of authority did that bitch have and why did anyone listen to her?

To make a long story short, and condense what was probably a 10 page thread, it was the end of the day and J got into a lunch box battle with another kid. He had a Skylanders lunch box and other kid had Lego Ninjagos or whatever they're called. It was an epic battle which I later found out happened a lot with boys and lunch boxes and wasn't alllowed.
That day they had a Guest Teacher. The battle began the other kid got hit with J's lunch box that had a leftover Apple or something in it. Other kid cried. This was at the end of the day so teacher sent both kids to office. The Mom and I were in the car pick up line and we were both called to go to the office.
Other Mom freaking out and crazy yelling at me and J. I started crying. The Mom told the principal that J should not be allowed to go to the concert which was at that point in one hour. Principal agreed that it seemed like a reasonable request. We were banned from the concert.
This was while I was working hard to get a dx for J and was just utterly overwhelmed and I didn't stand up for him. I was distraught and posted here. I got tons of good advice and flames which were appropriate.
J was later dx with ADHD, O.D.D, and SPD. So far the medication this year in conjunction with therapy, his IEP, and a bunch of other stuff he's having a good year so far which I so thankful for.
ETA: I'm probably missing key parts, but it was a huge scene that was watched by many and had us pretty much shunned last year.

I an so so sorry. What a complete injustice. It's not your fault. That principal was completely wrong. That you both were in the same room at all was completely wrong. I'm glad you're both in better places this year. HAVE FUN AT THE CONCERT THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!
