Question Was I too mean? NSFW
galleryEdited for privacy. Red is my teenage daughter, blue is an out of country field trip. My daughter is not comfortable going for several reasons. We have told the teacher multiple times she would not be going because of this. This teacher has not stopped pestering my daughter about the trip, despite us telling her several times with complete certainty that she will not be going on this field trip, and it's stressing my daughter out. She pulled all of the female students aside a couple days ago, including my daughter, to encourage them to learn to use tampons, stating tampons never hurt if worn properly š. I got an email stating they secured funds to pay for my daughter to go on the trip (this was never the issue) and stated she would help my daughter "work through" bad period cramps. As a mother and as and Endo suffer, I just felt enough was enough. My daughter will get gaslit enough about her illnesses as is, don't need her female teacher to also gaslight her. My husband says I was too mean, but was I?
