We are on a caravan site. My children have befriended a 4 year old little girl from a neighbouring caravan. The little girl is out constantly - her mum has told me she watches her out of the window - fair enough but I have seen mum lying on her front sunbathing this week whilst her kid is infront of our caravan doing silly little things that we have had to reprimand but mum has not noticed. Now a few times, the worse being today, we have gone on to the beach on the evening and the little girl has suddenly appeared. I did ask her if her mum knew where she was and she said yes and just carried on playing. After 30 minutes, mum charged on to the beach to ask why we had taken her on the beach. I said she had appeared and asked her about her mum and she said that the child is 4 and that I could not believe her. She was arsey with me but what was I expected to do? If I had taken the child back to the caravan, I would have had to drag my kids out of the sea who were having a great time or left them on the beach to take her. There is a lovely community aspect to caravan sites and it's nice but I am not their babysitter and am here to enjoy the holiday with my own kids.
