Its tonight. Rewards disco. He's 11.

He has said since getting the letter he does not want to go.

So it's his sisters birthday soon and she wants to go bowling. Tonight is half price bowling. She is off school and has been getting ready since 1pm for her bowling and pizza outing.

DS just came home and said he wants to go to school disco now.

Bowling is booked for 6pm. Disco is 5.30pm. We don't drive. We can't walk him to school, go bowling and be home to pick him up. He can't walk home alone in the dark.

And besides he made his choice and we made arrangements based on that.

AIBU to stick to the plans we have made now?!

never it's the Christmas holidays! You'll struggle to find any child in the UK at school this week.

Why was your daughter off school -- surely not ill if she's spent hour preening and is off out bowling tonight?

What an unhelpful comment. Does it matter?

Actually I would try and find a way for him to go. I know he's changed his mind but if it's across a field and cemetery then a taxi could get him there maybe?
He will have been part of all the build up today and it's a shame to miss it as it's meant to be a reward as well.

My daughter is off school because she is in primary school and broke up on Friday.

My sons high school doesn't break up till Thursday.

He came with us and was fine.
