Dd1 went out to a youth group with her friend and friend's family earlier. I was told that group finishes at 6:30 which I was fine with her walking home as far as friend's house with friend then the rest of the way on her own.
I have now had a phone call from dd1 saying that her friend is staying for something else that doesn't finish til 9pm and is it ok to walk home after that? I am not happy with that really as I think it is a bit late for a 12yo to walk home alone, but also it's a long way from the group to walk all the way home alone now. I want to go and collect her but dd2 (age 2) has just gone to bed and dp is out so can't go get her/stay with dd2. If I had known she would be walking that far or that late I would not have let her go in the first place. I have told her to come home now and she is not happy with me at all now.
AIBU to expect that if you invite another child to somewhere that will not finish til 9pm you would bring that child all the way home? Or check that someone will be able to collect her before you are there?
