[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, can you explain exactly how this went down? What your son said, what the parent said?[/quote]

I dropped DS off at their home around 11 pm.  The itinerary was dinner at a local pizza joint, movie at 1pm and then back home to do presents and cake.  I picked DS up at 6pm.  I asked him how the movie was and he said he didn't see it.  I asked if they didn't end up going to the movies, he said no they went but he lost his money and didn't have enough for the ticket.  So he stayed in the game room.  I immediately stopped the car and start asking questions.

He told me he "may have lost the money" and that he didn't have enough to pay the ticket.  So he decided to stay and play in the game room.  I poked and prodded and got that she said she would call me, but he declined.  He played games on the four dollars for about 15-30 minutes.  He watched the trailers in the main lobby, I have no idea how he spent two hours.  He swears he didn't ever leave the building but I doubt it.

I didn't want to go back and cause a scene, I was livid and DS was extremely upset.  He thought I was upset at him.
I called the mom around 7:15 and the conversation was short.  I asked her if what DS was true, she said it was and that she offered to call but DS said he'd rather just stay and play games. She told me her DH went and checked on DS twice and felt that was sufficient.  She said she was sorry I was so upset but that they were about to eat dinner and she hung up.

Which obviously pissed me off more.[/quote]
