DD's birthday is coming up, and we decided that we'd take her plus friends to a local theme park for the day. They're all in reception class. We planned on there being two adults/two cars/eight children.
Got an email last night from one parent saying that is was very generous of me to pay for everyone to have a day out. I was a bit and replied saying that it was only ten tickets and it would be significantly cheaper than having a party.
I got another email this morning saying that there was no way that she would let her DS go there 'on his own' for the day, but that she and her DH would meet us there with her DS. She finished by saying that she hoped I didn't mind and that it was 'only another two tickets after all' !?!
Now, I don't believe for one moment that I should have to pay for her and her DH, although I am interested in what you think of it! But am I being unreasonable to ask parents to let their 4/5 year old go on a 30 minute car journey to a theme park for the day without their parents?

AIBU?
For not wanting to pay for this woman to come to DC's birthday activity?
