Ok so my son is going to the cinema party. The mum who took them ( small group) got the time wrong and missed their film by an hour.
So she decides to give them lunch while they kill time to wait for the next one.
Fair enough.
But then i get a text " hi hun, sorry missed time for film r w8ting 4 nxt 1. Lunch @maccyDs. ok?"

For GODS sake, if I wanted my kid to eat there ( as if) I'd take him. He knows we dont eat there or at similar places.
I am livid but what could I say?

Advice please on how to deal with this

You will have to get over it, I'm afraid.

You accept that he's going to MacDonalds like all the other normal children his age, or you charge in there and humiliate him in front of his peers by dragging him out and forcing mustard water down his throat to induce vomiting.

Your call.

Erm I'd take a chill pill. DS has never been to Maccy D either but once won't hurt.

"Mother Not God Shocker"!!!!!!!!!!!

How to deal with what? It's a non issue

MaddonaldsMum · 06/11/2010 13:25

Its pitiful that this is seen as NORMAL, to shove kids full of fat salt and processed food. And by a woman whose timekeeping leaves a lot to be desired too.

am LIVID

This a joke, right?

myalias · 06/11/2010 13:26

Sorry but you really need to get a grip, this is normal for most cinema parties.

Sidge · 06/11/2010 13:26

It's food. Get over it.

One meal at McDonalds will be better for him than going hungry for hours.

SixtyFootDoll · 06/11/2010 13:26

You are taking the piss right?

parakeet · 06/11/2010 13:26

What harm do you think your child will come to from eating ONE meal there?

[I hate the place too but you are overreacting.]

fel1x · 06/11/2010 13:26

Its a party. Party food is not going to be the heaalthiest meal in the world is it??

Let him have the maccy d's and if he eats well normally it wont matter at all...

MaddonaldsMum · 06/11/2010 13:26

Its bloody not. An hour late and macdonalds too.

YANBU

She uses text speak and calls you HUN.

Can you go there and pick up your DS before she infects him with chav?

flaime · 06/11/2010 13:26

So would you be upset if she dished up burger and chips or chicken nuggets for your DS at her house or is it just the evil McD's brand that you object to?

Sure it won't do any harm just once in a while and like others have said I bet he has a great time.

MaddonaldsMum · 06/11/2010 13:27

oh i think chav is a little harsh to be honest but you get my point.

Get over it ..text her, tell her to bring you a big Mac back

MmeLindt · 06/11/2010 13:28

Before you know it he will be asking to eat there all the time, or to Greggs.

He might even suggest you shop in Asda Shock

scurryfunge · 06/11/2010 13:28

Very funny.....who are you normally?
