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

I am curious as to how much McDonalds he actually ate if you are basing his weekend of constipation solely on this.

I think he would have to have gorged himself somewhat to cause him to be that bunged up.

AND if he did trough burgers like they are going out of fashion could it be because he loved them?

Get some syrup of figs down him and never ever let him out of your sight again.

this is all a joke, surely ? Nobody in their right mind could surely react in this way when some other mother has invited their child our, paid for cinema and sorted lunch ?
Wouldn't you just be grateful for a couple of hours downtime ?

Brilliant.

Maddonaldsmum. I empathise entirely.

My DD was taken to a bonfire party and exposed to a Frankfurter.

Lolol at exposed to a frankfurter.

Bloody hoachin here

Lenin, MNHQ have said that the highlight feature only works on the posting name used by the OP, not on subsequent namechanges. I've just checked that on my antenatal thread where the OP used a Halloween name later on and they are right -- posts by the OP under a name change are NOT highlighted while posts from the OP under the original name are.

Don't know who this was. The detail with the semi-colon was inspired.

this is not the last time hel have it, learn to let go.

You allowed your son to go to the party and hence by doing so put her in charge of his welfare.

One visit to McDonalds won't suddenly turn him into a burger eating, unhealthy child.

She missed the film due to her mistake, not a big thing and then took the kids to lunch to feed them and kill time.

Not all of us are perfect, clearly.

my mum used to give me carrot sticks and brown bread sandwiches at school, no chocolate and crisps no sir !

Now all I eat is blue cheese, white bread and red wine.

Damage done

Op you are so not being unreasonable.

After my poor DD, Jamine-Lavender Rose was exposed to the frankfurter, I knew I had to take drastic measures to head off the inevitable consequences.

We detoxed her for 24 hours.

I was so low on wheat grass I purloined the organic guinee pig herbage and blitzed it in the blender with still mineral water.Desperate times. desperate measures.

Daddy and I gathered nettles and dandelion leaves for most of the afternoon and it acted as a real tonic after we'd stewed it for 7 hours.
That, combined with the charcoal and elderflower enema halted the frankfurter in it's steps.

Very best of luck and have a hug, you poor thing.

So... didn't someone promise to make a lobster out of the biscuit icon back on about page 16?

Now I've finished laughing I:
A) really am considering a quarterpounder with cheese for lunch
B) Want to see what other creativity can be achieved with the biscuit icon
C) Wonder if a bowel movement has yet been achieved or are Big Macs the new cure for the squits
D) Will never look at a frankfurter in quite the same light again.

Oh and E) still haven't mended all my husband's trousers I was going to do three hours ago.

How, Maddonaldsmum, are your poor dear childs bowels today? Purged I hope?

Lee2010, how DO you batter an eyelid? I am on Slimming World so I can't batter a Mars Bar...

If only the errant host mum had thought to pop a piece of red lego in that quarterpounder.

YABU imo.

What should she do? Take them all to somewhere really expensive?

I'd be massively grateful, that's a really expensive party for her.

The occasional mcd isn't that bad, kids love it.

We go at the services about 2 or 3 times a year, ds loves it, he knows it's rarity.

Lee2010 as soon as you cite Wiki as a reliable source you lose all credibility. Anyone can post anything to a Wiki.

Also, batted an eye.

Still no sure what starving or not starving Africans has to do with McDonald's though....

OP I am surprised your son is constipated. Usually McDonald's does the exact opposite to me.

Today I made a batch of brownies and gave one to my niece. We are soon going to maccy d's. Poor poor child. I think i will phone social services 24 hr 'my kid ate a happy meal ' hotline.

I give up! Who is it?!

OP, any repercusssions on the school run today?

Don't panic, I'm sure your son will make some nuggets soon.

Thank us for your doing - completely ridiculous.

I wouldn't worry never sending him to another party you'll be lucky if the poor mite is ever invited to anyone's party again.

As for his bowel movements, nonsense that it would cause that much of a problem

Dear dear, I see I stopped lurking (and laughing) yesterday just before I was needed. To give the view from the ground.

Yes, here in Africa (and I may be lost, but I know I'm in Africa) there are people who are starving. A bit like many continents, with the probable exception of Antartica. But in the particular country that I'm in (not South Africa or Egypt, not liked by the Western world at all), there are huge numbers of overweight people. Everything in the shops is full fat, and fast food joints are everywhere. In fact, I get so annoyed about it, I could imagine myself ranting like the OP.

Actually, no. That would be ridiculous.

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with the thread, but I did so like Lee2010's "one word, woman" (I shall close this argument with my unfaulting logic and unbeatable brain power).

Oh, all my laughing muscles are starting to ache. When do we find out who the OP/bootoyou really is?

So, your son is invited to a party, and as cinema time is missed friends mother takes kids to macdonalds - - - and you're upset???????????? But why - does she know you dont allow macdonalds - even if she does do you expect her to go somewhere that costs more to oblige you ? Presumably your son could have chosen water and fruit? What did you expect him to eat at cinema?

If this isn't a joke which I presume it is your behaviour suggests you are rude, ungrateful, and conceivably obsessed with food
