Mom Gets Mad After Son Receives Chalk During Christmas Party at School
A disappointed mom gets upset after her beloved son received a box of chalk for Christmas party gift exchange.
An anonymous members of the Facebook group “Super Wo-Mom” shared her frustration after her child received a box of chalk as a gift during a school Christmas party. The post elicited comments from netizens.
In her post, the mom explained that the gift exchange had a set value of P200, and participants were encouraged to bring something useful, like school supplies. Her Grade 7 son followed the rules, submitting a thoughtful gift.
However, when it was his turn to receive one, he was handed a box of chalk. The mom pointed out how impractical the gift was, especially since chalk isn’t something students typically use, given that most schools now rely on modern teaching tools like PowerPoint.
The frustrated mom expressed her disappointment, noting that it would have been acceptable even if the gift didn’t meet the P200 value, as long as it was something her son could use.
Here is the full post:
“Hello po. Musta po Christmas party ng mga anak nio? Correct me if I’m wrong ha pero ngaun lng talaga ako nabadtrip sa exchange gift. Ang wishlist n nga lng ng anak ko n grade 7 school supplies eh worth 200 exchange gift Nila. Natanggap niya isang box n chalk? Ok lng sana kung Hindi umabot ng 200 Basta mapapakinabangan eh. Kaso Ano gagawin Nya s chalk? Kahit nga mga teacher Hindi n halos gumagamit ng chalk dahil lagi nlng silang naka power point eh .
What’s your take on this po?”
The post sparked a discussion among parents, with many sympathizing with the mom’s frustration. Others suggested stricter implementation of gift guidelines to ensure fairness and avoid similar situations in the future.
