Some folks thought that the mother should’ve known better.
“Not an asshole for having horses or ‘showing off’ about them, but YTA for causing a circus at the school gates. Dropping the kids to school and trying to get work amongst all the terrible parking, traffic chaos, and general stress is horrible enough without navigating a crowd because someone brought a bloody pony along for the hell of it.”
INFO; did you really think other kids would not bat an eye?! Of course, they wanted to ride the pony.”
“Yeah, I don’t love the other parent’s reaction, but I can sympathize with getting your kid to school in the morning before going to work. Then, seeing your kid freak out because there’s a horse there and just being like, ‘Fuck, I don’t need this morning. Who brings a horse to school?'”
“THIS!!!! Like clearly, the other parent overreacted, but I think OP is a bit clueless. And to say ‘wearing riding clothes to pick up’ is the same thing as bringing a HORSE to pickup” is a bit much. I feel bad for the other mom, even though she clearly overstepped, and also bad for the teacher. That’s a lot to deal with for the start of the day.”
