DS 9yr old going to birthday movies with 6 friends. The kid he's known longest was a bit scary as a smaller child, letting himself out of the car before ive finished parking etc..

Have not been responsible for him in the last couple of years, bit he ran and jumped in the front of the car, and refused to get in the back. When he saw where we were going, old movie house not flash new cinema hello shouted about wanting to go to the "cool" cinema, shouted over my order of drinks to say" no I'm having extra large Coke".. ad nauseum. I tried giving him special treatment, he leapt at the chance to do stuff like hand out straws etc (asked to help so I went with it), He then started being really mean to one of the other kids.

Having said a couple of time he didn't have to see the movie of he didn't have to i kind of snapped, and said I was taking him home if he didn't stop. He r stopped. To much?

What parent drops their kid off and turns off their phone?!
You got it right, OP. I have no issues in calling for boundaries with other people's kids. If they are in my care, they will abide by my rules for manners etc.

YWDNBU. Imagine if it were your own ds behaving in such a manner, from what I gather on this thread about they type of parent is think you are, you'd have turned the car around and taken him home.
On a separate note do you know if he's been tested for any conditions.

Just read your updates, the parents sound like their CF, and they know how their boys behaviour is like, and don't want to be contacted to bring him home. This might have happened in the past. I say never again with this boy, if the others are fine, than yes.
