DS got a phone call inviting him and another friend (A) to play with friend (B). I presumed it was at his house/ cycling around thereabouts so despite being nervous said ok for a couple of hours.
45 mins later he's back with A and says B is on his way too. Whilst that's ok, I have texted B's mum to make sure it was ok that all 3 were descending on her at such short notice. She texted back saying she was fine with it. (spoken with A's dad too)
When they arrived I discover that B's mum is actually at work and he is on his own all day! (A's Dad is home and wants A back for lunch).
This is my last but one day before I am back at work and wanted to spend it with my kids, but happy if they want to play with their mates. I said I wouldn't have A all day because of this (A's mum is very good friend) and now I might have B because there is no way I could chuck out what is a very lonely little boy despite his bravado at being old enough to be 'independent'.
Hope this makes sense. AIBU in thinking his mum should have arranged childcare for her son cos at their age (just going into year 6) kids shouldn't be left on their own all day?

AIBU?
Would you let your 10 year old be on his own all day?
