Playdate DCs haven't been picked up. Should I drop them off?

[Recordmirror]

So a mum from my DCs school asked me to have her two DCs today as her two are the same age/in the same class as my two youngest.
The DCs have been here a couple of times before but usually I arrange this with their dad and he picks them up.
But he is away on business and so their mum asked me to take them today as a favour whilst she is in work.

I've had them since 9 this morning. She was supposed to pick them up at 6:30. I called her at 7 and 7:30 and 8 and 8:15 but she's not replying. I have text her a number of times and nothing.

My DCs should be in bed. Her eldest isn't bothered but her youngest is getting upset saying that she should be in bed. I haven't told them that their mum should have picked them up by now.

Should I go round to theirs? I don't want to worry the DCs if their mum isn't there when we get there. But I would like to know where she is. So would I be unreasonable to go round there?

School will have a lost property box...but unless they're total dicks considering the situation I think they'd let them come in as they are really!

Op I hope that you and all the dcs have managed some sleep.

Any news today op ?

The husband will have been in touch by now given the time difference. I think it will all have been resolved but OP is probably just a bit too busy/ tired to update right now!

Oh crikey. I was hoping shed just been out on the piss or something and shed have at least text by now.

Hope all turns out well, but she has had since yesterday morning to do whatever it is she has chosen to do.

Was she expected at work, did she actually go in? Sorry, I am treating this like an Agatha Christie book and it is not, it is someone's life.
I hope you hear something soon OP, and we'll done you for caring for the children.

Oh no. Hope you get a positive outcome op.

Op you are doing all the right things.

Really hope there's a positive outcome

DD has been up all night and all I thought of was this thread, was hoping to come back to an update saying it had all been a misunderstanding.

Hope you got some sleep OP.

Also hope all is resolved but you're busy with back to school chaos at the moment. Fingers crossed.

Have you thought of what to say to the children this morning?

Can you organise taking them to school?

I was hoping to read of a positive update. Thinking of you op. Hope the kids aren't too confuse this morning.

Hope everything is ok op. Well done.

Decaf I dreamt my own mum went missing and it was fucking awful so my heart goes out to those children

Woke up and straight to this looking for an update. Hope you got some sleep op

Hope the children are ok OP.

Hope all is well.

Can't believe this is still going on!

Hoping you've had some good news now

Hope all goes well.

It's much much more likely that the mum is fine than that there has been some kind of awful incident. You've coped really well OP - well done.

Good luck today OP. Hope everything turns out well

If OP does still have the kids I can't imagine updating MN will be her priority this morning.

This is so awful. I really hope everyone is OK

Hope all is well and that the kids are not too distressed this morning.
