A local mum at the DCs' school has admitted that when her DCs (DS age 10, DD age 7) go on playdates she doesn't always know the other child's address, ie where her DCs are.
As it happens, this mum had to track her DS down yesterday after he didn't arrive home by ringing round the neighbours to find the other child's home then sending the babysitter out looking for him. (She'd gone out.) It was fine, the DS was only a mile away and had forgotten to come home under his own steam.
I tried to be polite, but last time I was there to drop something round, on a different night, the babysitter, their granddad, was fighting through the family's emails to find the address of where the DD was, when the mum went to collect her and realised she didn't know where she was.
I feel if I did this I'd look like an idiot if there was an emergency and I couldn't get hold of them. AIBU?
AIBU?
to think you should know where your kids are when they're out?
