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

The hump is the least of the things I'm going to have by the end of the day I can tell you that much

Other options are

"..out with her"
"..a reet cob on"
or
".. terse words on the front door step"

Great idea. OP could you give the other mother a loan of your copy of "Organic Quinoa - Cook Up A Storm"

MaddonaldsMum · 06/11/2010 13:51

We don't eat out much to be honest.

Out yourself damnit! I had limited sleep last night, woke up to discover there isn't any coffee in the house and then had to clean up the box of cheerios DD spilled all over the kitchen floor. My patience is non existent! Grin

lol!

Everyone needs a little "risk taking" in their lives!

Quoted from here

"Growth, to some degree, involves taking risks and pushing yourself out of your comfort zones in order to gain new experiences and perspectives, undeniably shaping you into a much more well-rounded person. If an individual becomes too afraid to take risks, he or she becomes stagnant within their comfort areas, denying them the many benefits of growing, regardless of the pain which may be associated with undergoing this physical, mental, and emotional change.

For this reason, children, who are constantly growing, developing, and maturing, are also required to take some risks in order to test their strengths and recognize their limitations. The most important thing for parents of these risk-taking children to acknowledge is that they play a huge role in whether or not their child's risk taking spirals out of control later in life, or whether their risks will lead to innovative and creative productions."

Francagoestohollywood · 06/11/2010 13:53

jonesy71 · 06/11/2010 13:53

ok when he gets back try not to overract,

I think the following may be helpful, courtesy St John's Ambulance:-

Treatment

Your aims:

To maintain the airway, breathing, and circulation.
To remove any contaminated clothing.
To identify the poison.
To arrange urgent removal to hospital.
If the casualty is conscious:

Ask them what they have swallowed.
Try to reassure them.
Dial 999 for an ambulance
Give as much information as possible about the swallowed poison. This information will assist doctors to give appropriate treatment once the casualty reaches hospital.
If the casualty becomes unconscious:

Open the airway and check breathing
Be prepared to give chest compressions and rescue breaths if necessary.
Place them into the recovery position if the casualty is unconscious but breathing normally.
Use a face shield or pocket mask for rescue breathing if there are any chemicals on the casualty's mouth.

Hope this helps,

thinking of you
