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 might not want your son to eat there but he might have wanted to.

Really pisses me off parents deciding what a child should and should not eat, what about eating what they actually like not crap that makes them heave?

Give your son a break and let him be like other kids.

I mean you can always starve him eh for a week to detox.

Don't know why the op is thanking is, we should all be bowing down in gratitude for making such a funny thread.

BecauseImWorthIt · 08/11/2010 21:37

I can't believe there are posters still taking this seriously. Do you not realise it's a joke?!

FreudianSlimmery · 08/11/2010 22:38

It has to be. I hope it's a joke anyway!

Am desperate to find out who it is!

cupcakesandbunting · 08/11/2010 22:43

Mmmmm, Big Mac.

BecauseImWorthIt · 08/11/2010 22:55

There have been plenty of clues on the thread!

Who is it BIWI. You?

Hmmm, son says he is fed twigs and shit..

emptyshell · 09/11/2010 09:58

Ooooh now do Odeon dearprudence - just in case it was that cinema.

Am I being unreasonable to wonder how many biscuit smileys it would take to implode MN?

Something smells fishy

hmc · 09/11/2010 14:41

I think you should get over yourself.

MacDonalds = high fat, low nutrition...but is your son going to develop a BMI of 35 after one meal there? Clearly, not.

BecauseImWorthIt · 10/11/2010 09:13

But a filet of fish isn't that bad

Whitethorn · 10/11/2010 09:43

YABU and sound like you are very uptight. Its not heroin, its macdonalds. Really hope when my DD goes to school, the Mums aren't like that.

FreudianSlimmery · 10/11/2010 09:56

Op did your DS poo yet? Did you send it to the lab for poison testing?

lushlady · 10/11/2010 10:14

Man, I'd be chuffed to have an extra few hours downtime without the kids at the weekend! I think you gotta chill, kids eat all sorts of trash at parties - I know mine stuff their faces with crisps, cakes and biscuits, don't think there's gonna be much more fat and sugar in one happy meal. If it's seen as a treat, something you do for parties then I wouldn't waste your energy stressing over it. Give him the good stuff at home, let him have a treat now and then and then he won't go mad for it. Time and a place...

Arrgh! Just got it! The oldies are the best (in both senses of the word).

YABU - and I suspect the Billy Goats Gruff are looking for you?

BecauseImWorthIt · 10/11/2010 21:57

This is a joke thread people ...

(And no, I'm not the OP, but I know who it is)

Lotster · 10/11/2010 22:39

Don't er, mollycoddle them BIWI. Grin

FreudianSlimmery · 10/11/2010 22:44

Oh FFS I've halibut enough of this.

BecauseImWorthIt · 11/11/2010 13:43

Yes, I'll just have to tuna it out.

thumbwitch · 11/11/2010 14:21

Am absolutely PMSL at this thread, not least the fact that more than half the posters are still taking it seriously!
The combination of "Hmm this has to be a joke", the ones joining in with the joke and the outraged mammas roundly condemning the OP is hilarious.

Has it been nominated for Classics yet?? Grin
