DD is 3.2. Her preschool are doing a trip to a petting farm, which I feel reluctant to let her go on.
My main concern is hygiene. With the best will in the world the staff cannot be watching all the children all the time, and obviously it would only take a moment for her hand to go into her mouth before it had been washed. Obviously I could impress upon her not to do that, but she's only 3 and I can't expect her to understand why or remember.
I did ask whether they needed any parent helpers, but the answer was no. I then told a little white lie - that DD can be wary of animals and for that reason I would prefer to be with her, but again the answer was no - apparently they can't allow one parent to go because then all will want to go and they're sure DD will be fine.
AIBU to not want her to go? Sometimes I worry that I am being overly PFB and would appreciate some MN perspective.
