I'll keep it brief as on my -notsofarking-- smart phone.
A few weeks ago my DD3 went to a birthday party at a school friends house. It was a cinema and pizza party. We were to drop them off and pick them up 5 hours later. The family are lovely and I knew she (and the ithers) would have a great time.

There were about 15 DC in total going - school friends and cousins.

A few days after the event I found out from a friend that the DC had being transported to the cinema in quite an unsafe manner. Angry

8 DC in a Galaxy. Ffs.

DF and I discussed this and decided not to address the issue with the mom (driver of this car) but just ensure that out DDs could never be put in this situation again.

This morning one of the parents of another invitee (went in a different car) came over to me and tried to persuade me to "have a go" at the mom. Hmm

AIBU to let it lie and use the experience to firm strategies for the future rather than being confrontational?

What chaos said..

Incaminka · 25/05/2012 10:22

Chaos, you are either leaning on your keyboard or being a bit nasty. OP, I would say something, it'illegal and if nobody picks them up on it it will happen again.

MoaningMicroraptorRoarsAgain · 25/05/2012 10:22

We will miss your phone when you get a new one, Chaos. Grin

porcamiseria · 25/05/2012 10:23

ChaOS, your phone is the very opposite of smart!!!!

solidgoldbrass · 25/05/2012 10:23

FFS leave it, no harm was done and you don't really want to mark your DC out as the Ones with the WHinyarse Parents.

mistlethrush · 25/05/2012 10:23

I agree with you - I certainly wouldn't link up to 'have a go' but I would ensure that I knew that any future transportation issues were to be safely dealt with and if necessary offer to help with lifts in a car (and encourage another mother or two to do likewise)

Olympia2012 · 25/05/2012 10:24

I would say something too..

tryingabitharder · 25/05/2012 10:24

I love your smartphone Chaos.

Oh and I'd probably leave it, bit shit but she's still alive and not worth creating a hullabaloo about IMO.

EccentricaGallumbits · 25/05/2012 10:24

LST chaos is the OP.

I've forgotten what the first question was. Hang on. Ill go and reread.

StealthPolarBear · 25/05/2012 10:24

Chaos is the op!

EccentricaGallumbits · 25/05/2012 10:25

Not LST. Incaminka.
