The Hen House Community Group
This Group is for Hens only. A place where we can share and flock together:) May friendships grow here.
So Here is the whole story: My son goes to his friends house. Another kid (I'll call him Mike) is there also. My son's friend gets sick and the mother decides that everyone should go home. My son calls me to pick him up ...which I do.
5 min. after we get home, Mike calls. He says that the mother of the house is mad and angry because he can't go home and could he please stay here. I said yes and went to pick him up.
The store Mike tells me is that his parents went to Las Vegas and didn't even tell him. So he has no one to go home to. And he also tells me that his parents are not coming back until Tues.
About an hour ago Mike comes to me wanting so me medicine for the sinus cold he has. I told him he would have to get his mother on the phone and I would have to talk to her personally before I would give him anything.
That's when I learn that his mother is at home! So I told Mike, "Well you can go home now" He tells me no because only his mom came back. His dad stayed in Vegas and his mom is going in to work (on a sun. night) and doesn't get off till 2 in the morning. Also he said, "she can't come get me because it's time for her to be going into work.
I feel like someone is lying to me. Or I'm being used. I wonder if the mother told him he couldn't come home because she wanted a weekend alone or if Mike is lying to me because he doesn't want to go home?
Either way it won't happen again. Sucker I may be once but never twice. I don't let kids stay during the week and I consider Sun. night off limits. Other wise they stay up too late and they are too tired the next day at school.
I hate being lied to. I also hate being used if this is the case. It's happened to me before. If a parent would come right out and ask me if I would keep their kid so they can go on a trip I would do it. I usually do anything I can for anyone.....but to be taken advantage of I don't like!
I don't know who is telling the truth and who isn't. But I do know it won't happen again.

88FIn 1969 we decided to get married without a big wedding. Most of our friends and family liked large over the top for the time kind of weddings and I did not. First, I didn't see why spending so much money for one day when we have the rest of our lives to live. I have never regretted not having a big formal wedding. Another issue is not liking all the attention. Also, we have gone to big...

It's going to get hotter here with Thursday being the hottest. It's noon and 75f feels more like 80 or more.I've been cleaning up the deck in this morning and cleaning the windows outside. Then I cut up a pallet in half, I've decided to call it quits now because I went a bit light headed. Joanne, some drugs we take have an effect on us in the heat, I know a couple of mine do, maybe yours...
I hate lying, too. Go get 'em!

You owe no one favors or to help them out unless the parents ask you directly. I have told visiting kids to their face, 100% truth or you go home. Something doesn't smell right, I check into it and that is the kind of parent I am. The lying stopped fast and my kids learned to tell their friends "my mom checks and if we get busted, you go home."
As for being a popular mother., my boys friends still like and respect me. It takes a village to raise a child. Like you said, you won't be taken advantage of and as Cherry said, Go Get 'em!
TY all for your replies. I don't like confrontations so I will let it go this time, again.... There simply will not be a second.
It's really bad if you were lied to but it's also bad and sad that Mike did not want to go home. It does sound like someone is lying. Sleep overs on school night were rarely allowed in our home unless it was for a special reason........as mom and dad were out of town and I knew in advance.
I hope you can get to the bottom of this soon.......and talk to his mom. I really think you should so you won't be wondering who is doing the lying.
