to be PISSED off with this mum at a party?

[MaddonaldsMum]

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

Think yourself lucky she didn't let him play on those shooting games they always have in cinema foyers, while eating salted popcorn and drinking slush puppy.

They do sell organic milk and salads at McD's y'know!

I agree totally MadameCastafiore. Mine didn't have them very often, and now that they can buy their own they don't bother. It would be a different story if I had made them 'special' by my opposition. People set up a rod for their own backs by labelling food 'good' and 'bad'. If you want your DC to end up eating junk the sure way to do it is by having total control when younger.

whats your gripe?as a one off mcd is not a problem.get a sense of perspsective,shes taken them for group lunch.he will love it

He didn't scottishmummy-his mother spoil the whole thing for him by heaping him with guilt! Next time he will make sure she doesn't know.

Nothing to add but just snagging for the entertainment.

Thanks.

MaddonaldsMum what did the other mum say when you confronted her about her choice of food?

poor wean what a brass neck rice cake mum going apoplectic about mcd.dearie me what a disproportionate fuss.

Um, excuse me? I did take your son to McDonalds what of it hun? He said it was better than the 'twigs and shit' you normally feed him (his words not mine).

Oh yeah and don't knock Asda, I get all my clothes there. Stick your Joules where the sun don't shine.

LOL twigs&shit,esp nice with side order of smug.

And also, where do you get off judging me? What the f*ck is this? And where are all your kids while you're on here telling me how to parent?

Ok, I know this thread is a bit of a wind up but for those of you who don't tell your children about 'good' and 'bad' food why not? What is wrong with knowing what foods are healthy and which are not and are better eaten in moderation? Also, since when does fast food and junk food become part of a balanced diet? . I don't remember learning about the sugar, salt and processed crap food group :)

And you should be more grateful that I took him anywhere at all I only invited him as DS saus he gives good birthday presents, if you must know the other kids all thought he was wierd when he cried.

Well thanks to you I will probably start smoking again tonight.

I take it that you didn't thank the mum for providing the free childcare taking your son out for the day and providing him with lunch and entertainment then? Or offer to pay for the lunch which wasn't originally part of the agreement but which was kindly paid for by the other mum?

Your lad's learnt a lot today... how to be ungrateful, how to be fussy, how to be OTT and precious, how to make others feel guilty, how to be impolite...

Nice one OP!

bootoyou

ooh this is turning into a bit of a skit now, get the popcorn ready.

You set by example bubblemummy by having a good, balanced diet at home and doing everyday what you would wish them to follow and then you don't need to get upset if they have the odd McDonalds, packet of sweets etc. Everyday counts. Also you make sure as the adult that you have a balanced diet and you don't eat too many biscuits etc. Actions speak louder than words.

I agree with cupofcoffee. OP obviously works for McDonald's and is drumming up business.

I like to serve my children's supper with a side serving of smug and lashings of passive aggressive s

as someone else guest id expect dc be polite,and as long as mcd is not main nutrition an occasional social visit is ok.

Oh FGS, I just dont understand how uptight some people are

Go and treat yourself to a Big Mac, you might enjoy it!

Is this still going on? Has the op not owned up yet or is it still pretending to be serious?

Mmmm, I love the gherkins

And the "onion" pellets

And the Big Mac sauce

worth it for reading twigs & shit.

Ungrateful cow, my children would kill for a McDonald's.
