to make ds wait untill i get there

[2shoes]

I pick ds up from school. today he said he was staying for an extra hour. when i checked this morning he said he wasn't sure. and that he would ring me at morning break. morning break has been and gone.
so if he doesn't ring at lunch. (which means I won't know untill school comes out) shall i have the nap after luch I desprately need after a bad night with dd(sn) and just make him wait if he comes out at normal time.
(i have an idea what the answers will be. but my tired mind can't decide) oh he is 15 and 11 months an 2 weeks.

does he have far to walk if you arent there?
i would let him wait

Yes. Make him wait - unless you can text him? ffs - he should be able to get himself home at 15!

5 miles and not a nice walk would take for ever. and it is 2 buses(not that he has bus fare. i will pick him up. but make hime wait instead of being there ready.

frisbyrat picking him up isjust what i do. that is not the problem.

Leave him there. He can get on with some homework on his lap whilst he waits. He may also learn a lesson about keeping to his commitments.

lol, in fairness at 16 you have better things going on in your head than remembering to ring your mum
sorry 2shoes

Let him wait - enjoy your nap!

Another vote for having a nap and making him wait

harleyd I SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE i will hold his new cd hostage

2shoes i have it on atm, am loving it!

make him wait. get some sleep.

he may have better things to think about than ringing his mum but he said he would ring, and it's just good manners to stick to what you promise, so it'll teach him a valuable lesson if he does have to stand around waiting for an hour

can you not go get him and if he is not there have a hours nap in the car

he rang
