It was not clear who would be collecting child E (again!) from Cubs last night. Friend of mum brought him and said Y (R's mum) would take him home. Y came with money for subs and knew nothing about this! After Cubs, the sister, M, aged about sixteen, of yet another Cub, J, came for J and R. Their mums were, reportedly, in the pub. M did not want to take E because she had not been asked to and anyway, they would not be going near his house. I decided to take E home myself. While I was finding out all this yet another mum called me to say C (E’s mum) had called to say she was sending a taxi and her boyfriend, who is unknown to me, to collect E. By this time E was in my car. When boyfriend got out of taxi, I asked E if he knew who it was. He said, “Yes, that’s my mum’s new boyfriend” and seemed willing to go with him in the taxi. I let him go.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS!
How can I politely suggest to E’s mum that she get her act together? The child needs to know how he is getting home and who with before he comes to Cubs. His mum does not drive and has a younger child. Dad (whom I know) is 'around' but Cub night is not one of his 'kid duty' nights. He may not know that C's so-called friends are getting pissed off about her assuming they'll bring her son home.
Suggestions, please!
