Oh that’s heartbreaking as a mom, especially since you’ve experienced it yourself. At the same you are equipped to create a safe space for your son and let him feel supported by his family so it doesn’t affect his self-esteem. Some people are gonna hate us, reject us, criticize us, and that says more about them than it says about us 🙏✨

Ughh oh poor Max (and poor you) - that’s a hell of a lot of purple pen used just to send someone a hate letter, isn’t it?! 🤨 Hope that’s the last one… no kid needs that.

Hopefully winter [June] will be over soon and the sunshine will come out. We can but hope x

The headteacher spoke to the class about it, so we're hopeful it won't happen again and that Max will just forget about it - I'm always going to wonder, though!

And yes, I *really* hope winter ends soon - I don't even need it to be hot (although it would be nice), I just want to be able to turn the heating off!

I hope little Max will soon forget about it! I can't believe such young children could be so incredibly mean... (well yes I can, from what appears in the news nowadays).

I was honestly quite surprised by it - at this age they’ve generally more likely to just react in the moment if something upsets them, whereas this obviously took planning, which made it seem even worse 😫

In a way it's good that Max didn't see it, and yes, I get why you don't want Max to dwell on it. Could whoever be jealous? Max has appeared on your IG and seems a lovely, engaging little boy, very confident and funny. That can get ar$£holes' backs up (and yes, kids can be ar$£holes - so is the person who said you made this up!). May Max continue to dazzle!

Oh, he did see it - I just meant that we haven’t been talking about it in front of him because we don’t want him to pick up our emotions about it. He did see the note, unfortunately 😫
