to be a tad pissed off my child was left alone

[gingermopped]

ds had a party today to go to, 7th birthday, pizzahut, 12-2.
dropped him at 12, mum of bday boy said prefer parents didnt stay
they had my mobi num and i said id b in costa a few doors down.
went to collect him at 1.55 (5mins early) as walked through resturant the birthday boys mum walked past me on way out, i only twigged it was her wen she was past me but thought perhaps birthday boys dad was still there.
got to bak of resturant and my boy and 1 other lad was sat on there own holding party bags looking puzzled and sad.
waited few mins as thought mum would b bak but no!
im bloody fuming, who leaves kids of that age, surely hosts should stay untill all kids safely bak with parents

That's not good. Really not acceptable. Did you stay with the other boy until his mum came?

I am surprised the restaurant allowed this. Text her and ask for an explanation.

I would be fizzing! In fact I'd be tempted to call her and ask where ds is as when you arrived he wasn't there...

Did the mum see you coming in? Are you sure you got the time right?

Wtf??? Yes I'd be annoyed at that!

That's really crap of the birthday mum, I'd be annoyed too.

That is weird, and I'd be cross. What if you'd been held up?

Did you stay with the other child?

Was there a party host or someone there?

I'd definitely all her bluff and ring her and ask where your child is!!

I'd be very pissed off and would text asking if there had been a problem.

I wouldn't be happy, I think if you hand over a child, then they are your responsibility until you hand them back. She could have phoned you. What did the other parent think when they collected their abandoned child?
Check the time wasn't 12-1.30pm.

got times right, even double checked invitation wen got home.
there was a young lad clearing tables, he said i think the parents have left!
mum of other boy came in just a min after me, i said that hosts had gone and the boys ad been left alone, she didnt say anything, just smiled and said goodbye.

Whhhhaaaaattttttt?!?!

Who does that? YADNBU!

Even if the collection time was 1pm, there is no excuse for leaving them there alone. I would be fuming.

That's awful. I'd be fuming. What if they had wondered off trying to find you.

That sounds really odd. Have you texted/called her to find out why? What did the parent of the other left child say?

I wouldn't do that with dc that were a lot older, even if the parents were very late, but 6/7 yr olds???

hav called her twice for an explanation but no answer so sent text.
im bleedin fuming, my poor boy looked so sad bless him

2 partys next wknd, i think ill stay at those!

Wow
I hope when she finally replies to you she has a decent explanation. Maybe something came up and she had to rush off so thought he would be fine for 5 minutes.

That's awful. I'm annoyed on your behalf!

Ok, so something funny's going on. Given that she hasn't responded. She also didn't say anything to you as you passed her at the door. Really odd. It's not normal to leave before everyone re collected, almost regardless of age.

So everyone else had been collected by 1.55? That's a bit odd if the party ended at 2. It doesn't tea use the mum but are you sure you had the right time?

Wow, can't believe a parent would do that. Actually, can't believe an adult would do that, parent or not.

That's shocking! I remember going to a party around this age and the host mum was ringing everyone's parents half an hour before pick up telling them how rude they were for not being early . I wonder how she'd react if it were her child left?

I would be angry, what if you had been in a accident and didn't collect him? He would still be sat there .
