[quote=Anonymous]Yesterday DS went to a classmates birthday party which consisted of dinner and a movie.  I gave him $20 because I knew he'd spend no more than $8 at the pizza joint they ate at and the movie ticket wouldn't be more than $10.  I wanted to give a little wiggle room but not enough for him to be anole to buy loads of candy and soda at either place.

Somewhere along the line he either lost about $10 or spent it (I say the later, he says the first.). He ended up being about $6 for the movie ticket.  Now, if I were inviting a bunch of 8-year-olds to a birthday party and one was short or didn't have the cash is pay for the ticket.  That's just me, maybe I'd ask the parent to reimburse me in the future but for something that's less than $10 probably not.  However this woman chose to not pay for my sons ticket, and I can understand that I suppose.  What I don't get is thinking it would be okay to leave my son and his four dollars in the movie theatre game area for two hours.  What the hell lady?  Who does that?  You could have called and I'd either a) bring the money or b) pick him up.  You were responsible for him and anything could have happened.

It will be a long time until I trust my child with another parents.  I just don't know how someone could think that was a good decision.  [/quote]
