To be a bit fed up now?

[Madinitials]

Am babysitting for some friends for the first time. They have gone out locally to a family do and they didn't say what time they would be back but seeing as it's at a hotel, I thought they would have been back about an hour ago.

A bit fed up now because I will be up with my children early tomorrow and did not expect to still be here at this time. They haven't called or texted me.

Am I being a miserable party pooper?

Yanbu, seems quite late to me. If there was no discussion if a return time, I think I'd have expected them back by about midnight. You don't think they were planning to stay at the hotel by any chance?

Can you call or text them?

No, they are definitely coming home. I was thinking of texting just to ask when they would be back but I didn't want to curtail their night.

Yeah, I'd be the same, but if you have to be up for your kids in the morning, then I think it's taking the piss a bit to stay out this late without pre-arranging a return time (or at least a phone call to check if you're ok for a bit longer). And I say this as a night owl who never sleeps early!

Hope that they are ok, and that they turn up soon.

Text and ask

What time did they get home? I always say to the person, see you at 1130 or something so I get an idea of when I can clear away evidence of. Hock late, sorry meant when they wil be home!

Hock! Not the eighties any more but admittedly there may be a glass of wine. Meant CHOCOLATE! Not hock late!

Hope you got home in the end OP, I would have texted, your friends were taking the mick.
