My 4 yo is already enrolling for kinder and I can't believe how fast time flies. We got her into one of the best schools in the school district which is outside of our neighborhood school. We did it legit, have a rental, bills, receipts and everything else for a house in the neighborhood. I know the majority of the staff and have for the last decade.
So, we had our first gathering with other parents and an old high school acquaintance sees me and we start chatting. He gets up in my business about where we physically live, how we got into this school and the whole nine yards in front of the other parents. My wife is looking at me like "WTF ARE YOU DOING, stfu already?!" So, I politely tell him we'll talk after the tour is over. I don't think he did any of this maliciously, but have a ****ing clue.
The funniest part is we get assigned numbers for enrollment via a "lottery". 100 spots available, and he gets 11X out of 11X+1 (he'll still get in over the summer because other kids will move, go to a private school, etc.) but he keeps asking me what number I have. I don't want to tell him because I don't want him to raise hell.
Ahhh... the joys of school aged kids...
