My mum collects my son every Monday after his pipe band rehearsal at 6pm and I stay at home with my younger 2 DCs. This has been the case for the past 12 months. I rang her yesterday to confirm she was picking him up at 6pm and she said she was looking forward to it. He is 11 and the pick up in from the city centre. It takes 1/2 hour to drive him home and by 6.20 I am on the window look out, 6.40 and i was a bit worried so called my mum, she started gibbering on about a recent weekend trip she had been on as i screamed 'where is F' and she screamed 'i forgot to pick him up'. At this point I was hysterical - he doesn't have a phone as yet. My husband dashed in the car whilst I called everyone i could think of.....a passer by in the mean time got my number from my son and called me and waited with him til DH arrived. My son had walked away from the rest of the band as he thought he saw grannys car. I do not blame the band for this as it is parent's responsibility to collect and there are clear numbers to call if an emergency crops up. We didn't call as presumed granny was on hand. My issue is the distress it caused my son, alone in a city centre and with my mum. She is 65. What to do next? I need advice........
