Expected?

I had a great night out. Some of the parents did ask questions about their children, which I sort of expected. They were not questions I felt uncomfortable to answer and actually, in their situation I would probably have done the same. I found out quite a few things I would never have known had I not gone out with them. The most awkward question I was asked was about the teacher I am covering maternity leave for. They are naturally keen to find out if and when she will come back and on what terms. I already know her plans, but it is not my place to share this information with the parents, some of whom are also governors (to make matters more complicated!). The school will tell them when they decide it is the right time.
