My ds (6) and I were due to visit a local farm/play centre today with his friend from school and the friends mum.
She called this morning to apologise and said she was unwell so they wouldn't be able to make make it, she sounded really poorly so I offered to take her son and with us so she could rest.....she accepted.
When I picked him up she gave me £10 and told me it was from her son's money box to pay for his entry and lunch as she doesn't pay for "his fun stuff/days"
Once at the place i took the £10 from his little wallet and put £6 back in which meant he had paid his entry fee.....the boys had a great time and I ordered us all lunch....I felt really guilty making a 5 year old pay for his own lunch so I didn't take any more money from his wallet for it.
Played for another few hours then dropped him home and told his mum what he great day he had and how well behaved he was.
Have since received a message from her asking why he had so much money left over, replied saying I "treated" both boys to lunch so he only had to pay his entry. Haven't heard anything back from her.......now questioning was I wrong to buy his lunch?
