To be thoroughly p****d off?

[Americanwoman]

So a mum at the school gate has been hassling me for weeks go get my DS to do a play date at hers after school. She even offered to do school pick up and drop off. We finally agreed on a date, but when my DS was dropped back, he said the mum had gone off for a sleep and left them roaming around the house and garden the whole time!! They are only five - aibu to think this is totally unacceptable? My DS said she was properly in bed and snoring!!

You can say pissed on here!

I’d be inclined to take what a 5 year old says with a pinch of salt. You don’t have to let him go back.

Oh god why did she even ask

I wouldn't believe a 5 year old, no matter how honest and wonderful etc they are. Games and stories are quite something at that age

Have you asked him if there was anybody else in the house?

My 5 year old niece lied constantly and had little sense of time, as other posters mentioned, I'd be a bit suspicious of his report. It could be very exaggerated.

I did wonder if it was exaggerated - no one else in the house apparently. Just wondered if anyone thought this was bad parenting to leave them alone like that? I couldn’t do it while watching someone else’s child...

Happened to me as a child, i was about 6 and the mum went for a sleep and i remember being a bit scared as had never been there before and was too scared to go and ask for a drink as i was thirsty so i drank from the bathroom tap, few hours later she came down offering dinner.

Five year olds are prone to exaggerations. Are you sure ‘an hour’ didn’t actually mean ten minutes?
