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

Look you go to a party you kind go make an informal contract as to what will take place. Macdonalds was never part of the deal.

If your son was going to a cinema party, presumably he was going to have lunch there too? Unless this Odeon branch has a Raymond Blanc concession, McDonalds is about the same fare.

Though of course you are making this up so I wonder why I am even typing this.

Kill her then

my DS was dragged to MaccyD's for a party years ago and refused to eat any more than the fruit! I'm sure that your DS will survive his ordeal - and really, in the grand scheme of things it's not the end of the world. I have seen worse food being served in people's homes!

get a life, seriously. Go and do some volunteer work with children who have disabilities, or go and work in a charity shop, or just simply - go.

You're arguing over your DS having McDonalds once? Wow.

I hope the movie isn't a PG, what with you not being there and all

Yes, their meals are full of fat and salt and are "processed". I say again, what harm to you think your child will come to from ONE such meal? Please tell us.

Ateria - you are my kind of mother. If she offered him cocaine should I accept that too?
regardles of your opinions what shall i do shen she brings him home?

I think you become addicted parakeet

better Maccy D's than those revolting nacho chips with fluorescent cheese

or hot dogs that have been sat on the grill since opening time

If he's never had this kind of food he wont like it and probably wont eat it.

I never took my DS there when he was younger and never gave him burgers/nuggets etc at home either. Now when people have taken him there he just eats the chips.

It was bound to happen eventually, you have to accept that you cant contrl everything in your DCs life.

Sue her for breach of Party contract.

Yes, intrigued what harm you think will be done...
YABU

Stick your fingers down his throat to remove the nasty food.

Ask him what toy he got with his happy meal?

don't worry. they do carrot sticks at macd's now. and orange juice. i'm sure your ds will go for that for his meal rather than a fat juicy cheese burger with large fries, a chocolate milkshake and a smarties mcflurry to finish.

i mean, you've taught him right so he'll do the right thing

How old is your pretend dc? If anything less than 15, yes kill the mum. How very dare she!

I think that you should book him into the Priory the INSTANT he gets home - you don't want to risk this happening again!!

he is 7

Hahahahaha.

Ha.

How old is your dc?

Actually 6 chicken McNuggets have the same amount of salt as a bowl of cornflakes.

kill her and turn her into burgers

When he comes home, make sure you check the pockets and throw away the plastic tack that he got in his Happy Meal.

You can always give him an extra helping of organic quinoa this evening to make up for it.
