Although lacking in pure spitting anger, I would give your rant 9/10.
That really sucks, sorry to hear that. Must be a horrid situation to be in.

ETA: Incidentally, how did you not jump over the desk and thump that imbecile?

I'd be more pissed at the ex, as the receptionist is just lazy/doesn't want to get involved into marriage issues...

Anyway, I hope you could get it fixed, I'd be properly crossed too.

I'd be incandescent with rage if someone would have said that to me

He has been enrolled by his mother under her new married surname as it 'makes it easier for them as a family'

and what's this....

I'm down as a fourth point of contact?

So, half an hour into his formal education, and I'm an outcast.

Should you not be taking the issue up with his mother, rather than the school?

Send a letter directly to the Head and explain the situation. Are there older step children at the school?

You mean like, send him an e-mail?

It is a good rant and totally justified.
My daughter's first day was yesterday, unfortunately i couldn't be there as i work abroad but i phoned her in the afternoon and she loved it.
Her Mother and I are in the process of splitting up, all very amicable at the moment. But, there is NO way my little girl is ever getting her name changed!! (unless she wants to of course).

Aren't you original, now kindly ps off.

Ex tried the same 10yrs ago with my little lad after a few words to her and the new partner it was changed back.

[Tumbler]

As I understand it you can not legally change a childs surname unless you legally adopt them.

[Ozone]

I feel for you.

It's not over yet unfortunately - wait until parents evening comes round, or comments on school reports eg your input/request/complaints if they conflict with mums.

Thermonuclear piss will ensure.

Good luck getting through the system, it is possible if you can find someone helpful.

I've had a colleague tell this to a customer before, I snatched the phone from her apologised profuselly. He was furious and asked to come to the offie to meet with me, I agreed, but at a time the stupid bint was at lunch...

Aren't you a peach. I'm betting you and former Mrs. Emsman would have a great time together.

Oh my suggestion was to take it up with the ex-wife first (as she should have had)!
I'd be properly crossed with her, but the thing is, if you can keep your calm, maybe you can solve it together.

It's not hard to change such details.
Less than 10 clicks in SIMS.net IIRC.

I'd say it's pretty important that you're second contact for your son..

Are you saying that your 4yr old daughter has a mobile phone and can use it at school?

Now i really feel like i am getting old..

[soad]

Fooking hell, bit of a bad day then.

[Petrolhead_Rich]

so the school is happy to keep incorrect records...

Id be raising this with the headteacher and the LEA, its incorrect record keeping and the staff didnt change it when the error was pointed out.

Wrong name, Wrong next of kin.

how do they know your ex's new partner Isn't planning to kidnap the child etc

Oh and ITS THE WRONG BLOODY NAME!!!

I would have been asking for her superior there and then.

8/10 for the rant, not nearly enough expletives and a lack of violence, but well justified!

If he's anything like his Father, I'd say Red Adair would be a better second contact.
