Speaker 1 (00:00):
Order up a fresh show. It's Kiki's corn. She got
the glasses on the gaveling hands. Judge, Kiky, your honor, yes,
take it away.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Let's go it says, Hey Kike. My name is Amber.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
I'm a single mom of four girls, and I work
really hard to give my girls big birthday celebrations. My
five year old wanted a big sleepover, so I hired
her team to decorate our basement and went all out
with decor, food, games, et cetera. Fast forward to the
night of the sleepover. All was going well until it
was time to wind down for bed. One of the

(00:32):
girls started crying and saying she went and says she
wanted to go home. We facetimed her mom, but mom
was two hours away at a casino with her husband.
Her parents never came to get her and eventually stopped
answering my calls. I was stuck with a crying kid
for hours, which completely ruined the vibe of my daughter's night,
and upon pickup, I told the mom, your kid ruined

(00:55):
my daughter's party. She just casually apologized and left. I
was livid, so I sent a text asking to be
reimbursed for at least half of the money I spent
on the party, She blocked me. I would love to
hear what you guys think about this.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Damn, whoa tiki? What say you?

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:15):
I got to you guys think about this because I
was this kid that went to sleepovers and started crying
when it was time to go to bed.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Don't ask me why.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Just a weird though, because I would be so hype,
you know, like, yes, I'm coming to your sleep I'm like,
oh my god. The moment it was time to go
to bed, I'm bursting into tears and I want to
go home.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
I didn't want to say anyone to else either. See
there's three of us at least.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, I couldn't get enough.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
No, I'm sure I did.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
So I feel better now to know that other people
I like in respect you, who I consider to be
strong human beings, felt the same way. Yeah we're all.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I get the Yeah. So I was definitely that kid.
But my parents knew that about me. So my mom
would be like, girl, I will be back to pick
her up around nine. You know she wouldn't She wouldn't
know that I was going to cut up like this.
So for you to drop your kid off at they're
five years old. You drop her off and you go
up to the casino and have a honeymoon night with
your husband.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
This is just because your kids.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
At a sleepover. It's not free babysitter time. You know,
anything could happen, and you're two hours away. You stop answering,
left this woman to deal with your child. And I
feel bad for the mom who put all this time
and effort into the birthday party and your.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Kid, your kid did ruin it, because I know I was.
I used to ruin parties all the time.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
There is one kid going home or ruining the party.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
No, but she cried all night and her parents didn't
pick her up, which ruined.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
The vibe for all the other kids.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Because now, as the hosting mom, I have to cater
to the kid that's crying all night. Yeah, I feel
bad for the mom, you know. Yeah, there's a lot
of layers to this. First, you said they're five years old.
You said to hear the right, Okay, five.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
Year old should not be at a sleepover September one,
five year olds no sleepover?

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Really, Yes, I'm way too young.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
You need to like, at least I don't know know,
like you're as backwards like that.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
That's not like.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
I guess I don't.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
They're still like on the boob sometimes like that young,
very young. It's like kindergarten.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
I was a grade kidding, Jason, But you still need
your mom very much so when you're yes, and then
number two, the parents being two hours away is insane.
But if you are two hours away, you drop what
you're doing and you come get your kid.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
That's what I said.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
That's priority, like safety, priority, a lot of things like
you go.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I do agree with that if your kids having a
hard time, if not not even necessarily for the benefit
of everyone else at the party, for the benefit of
your own child, and I get that. There's like tough
love kind of thing where I will say that there
were times when I was young where I didn't want
to be someplace and if and if if I played
it out, then an hour later I forgot about it

(03:49):
and I was fine. So there's maybe that. But after
like a period of time, if your child is five
and it's not reacting well to wherever they are, then
you gotta go get them. Yes, I do agree with that.
I do agree with that eight five, five, five, nine,
one one oh three five You guys are the jury.
But what do you think does this woman then, or
the parents I suppose of this kid who ruined the party,

(04:12):
does she owe some money or did she have to
pay for the party or whatever.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
If it was my kid and I know that I
turned my phone off on this lady and left my
crying kid there, I would have offered to pay for something.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
You know, I would have. I wouldn't have just shown
up to pick my kid up.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
I would have came with a grand gift for her kid,
you know, like as an apology for ruining the night,
to just say I'm sorry, take your kid and go
home after you had a great night at the casino.
Probably wants some money. You know, you didn't offer anything.
I think it would have been nice to offer. Now
to ask her to reimburse half of the cost is
a little much.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yes, yeah, I don't know about paying for the party.
But you're right, there needs to be some gesture something.
But what are you supposed to do if you think
your kid's gone for the night and then you're getting
kind of lit, you know, like you're having like an
adult night, what do you do like.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Two hours away?

Speaker 5 (04:59):
That's yeah, wow, that's irresponsible in my opinion, or have
the moody I backup, right, Grandma, friend somebody.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, but we're also talking about a five year old, right,
We're talking about a very young child. Like I think
that you kind of have to assume when you're going
to have a party with a bunch of very young toddlers,
essentially that someone's gonna act up like that is not
an age that it's predictable.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
That's a that's a fact too, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
We're not talking about a bunch of people here who
are making you know, like you know, children that are
able to necessarily control their emotions very well, yet they're
still learning. I'm forty four. I still can't control my
emotions very well. You still cry at Yeah? I do
every night. I cry myself to sleep, oh no, and
then I yeah, okay, Then I forget why I'm crying

(05:50):
and I go to sleep with time. It's very therapeutic,
I'll tell you no. But I mean as far as
like banging, I don't know. I think that's the risk
you take when you have a bunch of it's rude,
and I think that, you know, the parents should do something.
The parents should have been available. Parents should have come
and gotten their kid. Parents should do something nice to
make up for the you know, inconvenience. But you're also
dealing with a bunch of tiny little kids.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, probably at what age are you gonna let Gigi
have sleepovers?

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Thirty five? When she's married? No, I love sleepovers.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
I'm not gonna lie like they were a time a
time with that, but I am not letting her go
like I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
I can't do it.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
Seeing Jim Mud heard too much, I can't do it.
We can play till midnight, you guys have like a
pretense sleepover, but then you got to go home, the
kids go home.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Can kids sleep at your house?

Speaker 6 (06:35):
Ever?

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I would say yes, But then how is that fair?

Speaker 4 (06:37):
Right?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Because then I won't let her.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Go, But they're supposed to come to me they can
doesn't have to be fair.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Well, you're asking parents to trust you, and then you're
not necessarily extending the same trust, which you don't have
to know, but it would be it would be kind
of like, well, they can come to me because I'm
a good parent, but they can't go there because because
something that might happen over there. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
It's tough.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
I don't know. Hey Jessica, good morning, I mean Jessica,
So what say you you're the jury Ky's Court. You
heard the story.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah, I would say I'm not paying.

Speaker 7 (07:08):
I wouldn't you know, iscialated to pay because you said
when it was time for bed?

Speaker 4 (07:11):
So what party did she make up? If it was
time for bed? So she cried all night? That was
pretty much it. So you can't I'm not gonna pay
you for that. The party was over.

Speaker 7 (07:20):
You just said that, So I mean I would I
would have to see her in the street because honestly,
you can't respect me like that.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
And I don't want your money.

Speaker 7 (07:28):
I just want my round because like, you don't just
say your baby as me when I'm saying, like you
don't even.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
Know me like that.

Speaker 7 (07:34):
Clearly because they were close friends, she would have understood
her kid and how you know they operate. But for
you to just be like, well, I'm just gonna do
me and whatever.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Whatever, I would to call the police, Yeah, come.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Call the police on the fire to a bandit your baby, I.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Would say, I didn't come get it. I don't want to.
I don't know what happened. I don't know parents. Okay,
I'm scared at this.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Point just getting fairness. Uh, you know, at five years old,
I don't know how many sleepovers this kid's been on.
But if no, say it's the kids first sleepover, and
there's this adverse reaction, you don't if it's your kids
first sleepover, you don't need to be two hours away
getting hammered or whatever.

Speaker 7 (08:23):
You probably should be like got your phone off, like
you're trying to make me keep it forever or something
like why I would.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
You turn your phone off?

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
I was at this point like are the parents? Okay?
So that's my story though that's just.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, five year old, six months.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
You wanted some money.

Speaker 7 (08:43):
I'm not giving you any money like that money I'm
not I want even actual money.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
I don't know about all that, but yeah, you don't
get any money.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
I wouldn't give her any money, but she would definitely
have to see that.

Speaker 7 (08:53):
I would see her, and they clearly see each other,
like I do have to see me at the Cooper Market.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
Somewhere, because you're not just gonna treat me like that.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
And I'm not driving my kid off at your house.
I don't have a kid, but if I did because
otherwise I'm going to pick them up with a precid
pick it up, pick it up, picking it up. When
Jessica says picking it up, you pick it by it,
I mean a human.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
You got about two hours to come get your chest.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
I love you, thank you, have a good day. I
love what she calls up. I think she called before.
I don't know. Hey, Ashley, how you doing. I'm good?
How are you guys? Good morning Kiki's Court. What do
you think?

Speaker 5 (09:32):
So?

Speaker 8 (09:32):
I don't think the mom of the child who is
crying should have to pay, But like you guys said,
I definitely think she should do something special for the
child or for the mom. But also I wanted to
say that nowadays kids do this thing called like a
sleep under. So you you go to your friend's house,
you have dinner, you get in your pajamas, you play

(09:53):
all night till like nine o'clock, and then you go home.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
So it's kind of like the same thing, but but
you just don't sleep there. So sleep under Okay.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
It would have worked for me as a kid to it.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
I would like that. Yeah, right, I get you to
go home. Why do you picking on me? Okay? Other
people here that had the same problem. All right, so
let's just let lay off of me. Have a good day.
I sleep. Thank you YouTube about that as you called
me so little young Fred had attachment issues.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
It's fine.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Did you know, hey, Brittany, how you doing?

Speaker 7 (10:29):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Good morning? So Kiki score. Basically, there was a sleep
a mixture, I get this right. There was a sleepover.
A bunch of kids there. They're five, they're young. One
of the kids didn't want to be there, was crying,
was upset the whole night. Parents were nowhere to be found.
And now this woman's like, I want you got to
pay me for this party because your kid ruined it.
Are there are a bunch of layers here? What do
you think?

Speaker 7 (10:50):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (10:50):
I think honestly, it just like was like the first
time the child was ever somewhere alone by their self,
and it was like an honest reaction.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
I get it.

Speaker 6 (10:59):
But as a parent, you know your kid, and if
you know your kid, don't know how to act places.
I would allow them to go to the party, but
I wouldn't probably have them sleep over, and I especially
wouldn't go two hours away anywhere knowing my kid is
somewhere because if anything were to happen. I'm two hours away.
I can't get to my kids, like if there was
an emergency, I can't get there, you know, fast enough.

(11:21):
And I would offer myself, you know, the mother, whether
it was money or do something like you said as
like a sorry or something. But yeah, me myself.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
And yeah, because I don't think James Leroy Brown and
Linda Brown, Jason Brown's parents, I don't think they dropped
you off of the house going yeah, this is gonna
I definitely won't be back till tomorrow. They dropped you
off like Okay, well let's go to dinner because this
will be over in about two hours. So what are
you right? You're right till people know this about their

(11:53):
kids already.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
And like I said, you know, maybe it was like
their first time being away from the parents, and that
is their honest reaction. But even as a mother, if
you know it's your child's first time being away from
you for a long period of time, you should be
like right there, like on call because obviously you know
I would have happened before where my daughter even just
goes to my mother's and she calls me and she's like, yeah, mom,

(12:16):
I'm not feeling it, can you come get me? And
I'm like, okay, I come get her, Like that's just crazy.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, Brittany, thank you, thanks for listening. Have a great day.
Glad you call. It was kind of sad though. It's
kind of sad that sleep overseas. It's sad the stuff
we got to think about now. Yeah, you know, and
I don't know, maybe we need to think about it
back in the day and we just weren't educated enough
or whatever. But it's the same. At the same time,
it's like, it's it's a shame that that's where we're at,

(12:43):
that we can't necessarily have our kids go to somebody's
house and assume that they'll be safe. Yeah, hey Aaron, Yeah, Aaron, Hi, welcome.
What do you want to say?

Speaker 9 (12:55):
Hey, I love you guys, thank you for that.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
I love you anyway, but I love you for that too.

Speaker 9 (13:02):
So yeah, I love Kiki in her court. Yeah, no,
I think that I kind of feel like, fol so,
the parents are in the wrong here, Like I don't
I'm not sure what the mom who was hosting was thinking,
Like having such young kids for a sleepover, I kind
of would have thought like I would have been prepared

(13:23):
as a parent myself to be like, oh, I'm probably
going to be knowing that some of these kids aren't
going to make it, you know, through the night, because
I didn't make it through the night at a sleep
over till I was like eight years old. Like I mean,
and the other mom like, I can't imagine like even
if it wasn't a sleepover and leaving my side year
old at a birthday party and going two hours away,

(13:44):
Like what if something happened.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, that's wild. That's wild to me. Like, yeah, unless
you know the person and you know that child's temperament
and you know everything, you know, it's the stable situation
and the kid's not likely to act up. You know,
stuff happens. But I mean you're right to the point
of the caller before you know, you know your child's
temperament and you know if there's a high or low
likelihood of them freaking out.

Speaker 9 (14:09):
Right, Yeah, Like you're saying, like if it was like
a best friend that they grew up with, Like it's
like family, Like that's the only person that I'd be
leaving my kid with and going two hours away.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, mom, I agree, Like you know it's cousins or
you know, whatever, right, and you know exactly the players
and you know everything right, and even.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Like Paulina mentioned having a backup plan grandma or grandpa
or somebody that the kid feels safe with to be
there to come pick them up just in case.

Speaker 9 (14:35):
Yeah yeah, I agree, right exactly, And like you guys said,
like you know, keeping your phone like on in case,
like just to be like oh yeah, and then hey,
call this person because they can be there faster than me.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah yeah, I agree. Thank you, Eron, You're welcome, have
a good day, Love you. She was so she blocked
the lady who was yeah. She was like, we're not funny,
but I'm not entertaining this. Hey, like my annoying kid.
You know what, I have a night off tonight. You
know what I mean? You deal with this lady and
a five year old too? At them? The Entertainment Report

(15:09):
will do? Uh do I have to say in the
third personnel Fred's biggest stories, my biggest stories? I don't know.
