To ask who was BU?

[fenese4864]

Person A has an 8 year old son, he hasn't been to school all week as he had a fever and seemed unwell, Tuesday he was also complaining of stomach ache and he vomited once. She normally picks up Person B’s child from school but as her son wasn't at school, person B has has to pick up her own child this week and wasn't happy as she was having to leave work early. Today, person b went to town and saw Person A out with her son and called the school. Her reasonings are that if her son is well enough to be out, he can be in school.

Is person A in the wrong for keeping her child off school and taking him out or was person B for getting involved and reporting her?

If B had an unwell child and a regular commitment to collect As child from school, what would B have done???

Also why on earth would B want her child to be collected by someone with a poorly child and risk B’s child being unwell too? Then B would have needed to take even more time off work.

B lacks critical thinking skills and empathy

I think you should be tell Person A. I'd hate to think I was going out my way to help someone I thought was a friend (free of charge) and they did this for the sole purpose of trying to get my into trouble.

I suggest you distance yourself too now you know how spiteful she is, god forbid you do anything she doesn't like.

The cheek of it!

Sorry, random 'be' in there!

I don't think either A nor B has covered themselves in glory but B is definitely going to regret that because if I was A I would never pick up mini-B again!

How does person B know what person A was doing in town? They could've gone to the walk-in centre or been picking up medicine and had nobody to leave the poorly child with. Likewise the child could've been fine to leave the house for some fresh air but wouldn't be allowed back in school anyway.

What on Earth has person A done? They can’t help having a child that’s not at school when they’ve vomited

B is a knob! Imagine reporting a friend for that?!

@fenese4864 you are telling A about this, surely? Please, please don't let A continue being made a fool of by B by not telling her what B did. It IS your place and you should tell. After all, B is all good with tattling apparently.

B would never be getting a lift from me again If I was person A.

That was a really shitty thing to do.

Yes, I will tell Person A.

Well come on, it’s not really the done thing to take a kid out who’s off school. But it’s not the crime of the century, I appreciated lots of it though I wouldn’t myself. And it’s nowhere near what B has done: dobbing a mate in for a minor thing is a no no, especially when they are helping you out

Person B was malicious.

A 8yo can be too sick for school but not too sick to accompany their parent on a short errand into town. The 8yo is too young to be left home alone for a milk & bread run, so you take them with you.

Person A should stop all favours for Person B. Person B can sort her own child out from now on.

B is a bitch. Does A know she did that ? Hooe A does not future childcare for B.

With sickness my son’s school won’t allow kids back for 48 hours after the last sick event (or poo if D&V). Years ago my son had an upset tummy at school and was sent home. Two days later it was my day off and as he was perfectly well by then I had to take him to the shops with me as I had stuff to do (we went to buy school uniform). Perhaps this was the case with person A, her kid wasn’t at school therefore couldn’t collect person B’s child. Person B sounds like an entitled idiot.

Person b is a bitch and I wouldn't be helping her with chid care ever again.

I really hope Person A knows what Person B did. So Person B will have to find someone else to do pickup!

It's not as if Person A kept her child off just to let Person B down for childcare. I'd imagine it would be easier for A to send her child to school if he was well (and allowed by school rules after DV!). B is the only one at fault here.

If kids are being picked up then they probably aren't old enough to stay at home alone. Walking around town is allowed for ill child. B is a Pillock.

I agree B was a massive bitch. What she did was not on o agree. I’m just saying I wouldn’t take my kid out when they’re off school but I’m not that riled if someone else does. I absolutely wouldn’t report it. None of my business. I hope it’s ok for me to think slightly differently from you @AntiSocial6DaysAWeek

B openly admitted she has no idea where they were - they could have been at the Dr or chemist.

Plus a kid who has one vomit episode isn’t necessarily unwell, but still can’t go back to school for 48 hours so why shouldn’t his mother run errands with him?

Blimey I’m getting a pasting here. Look it’s just not something I would do. I wouldn’t judge anyone else though. I am not B 😂

A pasting? I replied to your reply to me, and hardly said anything harsh.

@JustLyra you’re the 4th or 5th poster to ask me what on earth I’m on about. I keep getting emails about it! That’s what I meant by pasting.

I sincerely hope person A never EVER collects person B's child from school again. Under any circumstances.

I think you should distance yourself from person B too. She's shown her true colours
