        • wow, and you're furious? Jeez, my dd was known to make a huge scene when I picked her up -- and I picked her up every damn day. This is a funny story that can be told and retold at family dinners for decades, about how Sally had half the playground thinking Grampa was a kidnapper. Sheesh...

    • Did she know that he was going to pick her up? Did the teachers know? How does she usually act at pickup? Every DC is different - DS "needs" to know who is coming for him, but DD happily runs to anyone.

        • I'm a former teacher and I have some sympathy for her - but I also get why you'd be upset. There's nothing you can do about it now - thank the teacher for helping tomorrow and "warn" DD next time that it might be just Grandpa or just Grandma and that you expect her to behave properly.
