My parents ‘offered’ to have my 10&11 year old to sleep over last Friday. They said my sister who is 19 was having 3/4 friends over in the side lounge but the children wouldn’t be disturbed and it wouldn’t be a party as such.

At 1am I get a call from my 10 year old saying he is scared of all of the loud noise but then his battery went so I just got in the car and went straight there.

I walked into a party of about 20 people, house stank of alcohol and cannabis and my parents were asleep in bed whilst both of my DC were in their room scared.

My mum text me at 9am saying ‘please tell me the children are with you’

I am upset and my DH wants to cut them off for good.

Are we being unreasonable?

@Slothcloth2 people are strange on this thread.
Listen to your DH, go no contact. For so many reasons.
They didn’t check on the kids.
They got drunk themselves.
They weren’t appropriately dressed in case the kids walked into their room.
Your child was scared.
Scared enough to call you.
Cannabis and strangers in the house.
they were so drunk they didn’t notice people coming and go through the front door.
But the worst is texting you. They didn’t panic and phone, and then phone your other numbers and the police, they texted knowing you might not immediately get that.
