[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A family my kids and I had known since preschool invited my two kids to a laser tag birthday party when they were in elementary. I don't  trust their judgement so I usually would go and hang at their kids birthday party and help.  They insisted I drop my kids at their house. They planned to ferry all the kids to the laser tag place themselves but they only had one small sedan. I offered to help drive and they refused.

It was all a ruse to allow them to only take some of the kids to laser tag. 2 hours after dropping them off, my kids call for me to come pick them up at the host's home. The parents took most of the kids to the laser place but left some of the kids behind saying they'd be back to get them. The birthday kid's big sister stayed at the house with our kids and the other one or two unlucky ones. My kids had started to call me at the one hour mark but the big sister stopped them several times. I headed to their house but big sister heard my kids call me and called her parents. Dad hightailed it to get my kids - the other kids parents had already picked them up.  I got to the laser tag place before the dad showed up with my kids. The party was over and I had to wait for my kids to be ferried there for no reason.  The galling thing is that the mom was furious with me because she got caught. They never apologized and were angry at me for discovering their dishonesty. They knew they couldn't get all the kids there and didn't want to pay for laser tag for all of them so they just left some of the kids.

I'm so glad they moved so I never have to see them again.

I think so too for no other reason than the kids were old enough to have their own phone/watch whatever so even if the mom wasn’t called-clearly the kids are old enough to tell the parents what happened regardless if the host parents tried to hide it. Like rushing to take the kids to a laser tag place when the party is over makes no difference-they are going to tell their parents they weren’t actually at the party and didn’t play laser tag. Makes no sense whatsoever. Made up. [/quote]
