The other night my mobile rang when I was out. I saw the call was from the mobile of the mother of one of my 10 yr old DD'S friends. I don't really know the mum and only had her number as they had attended each others recent parties but she seems nice enough from the brief encounters I have had with her.
I answered the phone and it wasn't the mum but the girl herself asking for DD. I explained I was out and DD wasn't with me. She then asked if I had a number she could call her on. I suggested that, as it was getting late, I texted her mum to arrange a time for them to talk the next day. She said that was fine and hung up. A bit later I texted the mum to that effect. That was 3 days ago and I've heard nothing.
I'm now worried if I've done the wrong thing and perhaps dropped this girl in the sh*t with her mum!? Tbh I don't let DD use my phone and would be cross if I found out she'd been calling friends without my knowledge. However, I assumed her mum was aware and the girl didn't flinch when I said I'd text her mum.
I'm afraid her mum is cross with her daughter and cross with me for apparently approving her behaviour.
To make matters worse, I told DD. She was really excited as this is quite a new friend who DD is keen to impress. She keeps asking if the mum has texted me back!
The only other thing I can think of is that the girl intercepted the text and deleted it before her mum saw!
I really hope I haven't messed things up for DD and this girl. I was so pleased she'd made some new friends as she'd had a rotten time with her old friends last year so am really keen to encourage the friendship.
