The woman decided to share her story to find out if she was right to tell the truth to her son’s friend’s mom. The woman revealed that before her son turned 10, she used to invite his friend James, who also was his classmate. The kid, who behaved very well, had a mom who actually became the issue. The woman recalled her son’s previous birthday when James was invited along with 3 other friends. On the invite, the narrator wrote that all kids should be picked up by 11 AM the next day because the family had plans to visit their relatives.

After the birthday party, the next day, all kids were picked up by the exact hour—the only kid that was left was James. At first, Reddit user wasn’t thinking anything bad, just assumed that his mother was on the way, but was late because she was running some errands. At 11:30AM, the woman texted James’ mom to remind her that she needed to pick up her son as they were about to leave the house themselves. And indeed, the woman replied that she was already on her way.

Even though the woman was constantly reminded to take her kid, she only showed up when it was threatened to call the police

12:30 rolled around and James was still at the family’s house. The narrator once again reached out to the mom as they had to hurry up themselves. She got a reply saying that she was out for lunch and would come to pick her son as soon as possible. The Reddit user continued to ask the mom to come and take her kid until 4PM came and the narrator’s husband had already left with the kids to go and see their relatives. This is when the woman called James’ mom and told her that if she didn’t get there in the next 30 minutes, she would call the police to let them know that there was “an abandoned child” at their house. Her last try to contact the mother resulted in her actually showing up and taking her kid. The woman apologized, but it was the last straw. From that day, the narrator decided not to invite the boy to their parties because of his mom’s behavior.
