My 8-year-old DS got left in a movie theatre game room for two hours. I'm allowed to be upset.

Huh. Are you sure that your child didn't go to spend the money meant for the ticket and she said "if you spend that,you won't have money for the ticket and I won't buy one for you." She was in the wrong for leaving him unattended, but your kid sounds kind of bratty

OP, can you explain exactly how this went down? What your son said, what the parent said?

He could have very possibly spent the money on anything. I admit it was dumb to give him the money but he is eight. If she felt like she didn't want to give him extra for the ticket I should have been contacted.

This is the craziest party story I've ever heard. You don't invite kids to a movie birthday party and then expect them to pay their own way. That's not a party. The mother absolutely should have made up the shortfall. If she's in dire financial straits and didn't have the few extra bucks, she should have at least called you.

That's the last time my child would ever be left in that parent's care. And I'd let her how irresponsible she was and that your child won't be attending any future b-day party she "hosts." And I say hosts loosely, because hosting a party entails paying for the activity.

How did you even know to send money to cover the ticket? I never would have thought to send anything beyond some petty cash in case he needed it.

This is just so strange. Did the mom say it was pay your own way when inviting the kids? I cannot imagine.

Ahh, you took it too far, OP. I'll let somone else call the post.

This is a liability issue. It was absolutely the party hosts job to call you if she wasn't going to pay. In fact maybe you should scare her and tell her you are getting a lawyer and sueing her ass. It's probably not worth it to go through with it but maybe it will scare her enough to never ever do something so stupid again. She put your child in danger. He could have been kidnapped.

Is this a troll?

Really? Must we inject stereotypes about how black women from the ghetto speak into this thread?

Every child needs an emergency credit card. What if he got lost and needed to Uber home.
