Ds is 7. He was at a friend's house after school yesterday and was meant to go round to another's today (I know this was foolish given they are the last two days of term, the clocks have gone forward and he is exhausted, but glossing over my idiocy...)
I went to pick him up from the first house yesterday and he was terribly badly behaved leaving. Apparently he had been fine whilst there but I had to take him away in the middle of a computer game he was losing (to get to football which he loves). There were tears and sulking and then he was rude to the friend's mother, which I made him apologies for immediately but was by far the worst bit as far as I'm concerned - very unusual behaviour for him and I was very cross with him.
So after discussing it with dh we have told him he cannot go to the second house today. The reason I'm asking whether this is U is because I know his friend will have been very excited and will now be very disappointed and it doesn't seem fair to him. I have suggested to his mum that we go to the park together for a bit after school, which is still a punishment for ds as he really wanted to go to friend's house, but hopefully won't be so hard on the friend (haven't heard back from his mum yet though).
Can't take it back now obviously but WIBU?
