DM looked after my 3 youngest DCs today, for which I'm very grateful, of course!
She took them to the local fair, which is lovely of her. A great time was had by all.
When I went to collect them, they were beside themselves with excitement, and couldn't wait to show me the new goldfish that they'd won on one of the stalls!
We now have 3 goldfish, 3 little tanks, and I need to try and fit in a trip to town tomorrow to buy some fish food after work.
I really don't like fish. Actually, I don't dislike them, but I hate the idea of keeping them in tiny tanks, and cleaning them out makes me feel sick, even if I'm not the one doing it!
We've had fish in the past - when they are dying it's like something out of a horror film, they fold in half and float grotesquely on the surface of the water.
All of that is besides the point though.
AIBU to think that she should perhaps have checked beforehand, and in the event of not being able to check, just have said "No, I don't know if it'll be OK with your mum and/dad"?

To be a bit [hmm] about DM deciding my DCs can have goldfish?
