DS is 13. I am a single parent though DS' dad is very involved in his life and we are all on good terms.
DS was off school sick yesterday (nothing major, just a feverish cold, and was almost better - he has gone back to school today). I had to go to work in the evening so left him with a ready meal and his Wii U.
The electricity meter went off. (I hadn't realised how much DS was caning the little portable heater, I had topped the key up the day before). DS went to a neighbour to borrow a phone and call me, and promptly locked himself out - barefoot and in pyjamas. I didn't hear the call. Neighbours took him in and managed to get hold of his dad, who came over and collected him from the neighbours' house, but I am going to have to go and thank them and get stared at, aren't I?
