I have been pondering this all day.
I picked up DD from a friend's house, there were several other children there. There was a bit of horseplay and something belonging to host's mum got broken. The two girls who did it didn't own up but ran out to play in the garden. When host mum saw what had happened she was very upset (it was something precious to her that had got broken). She asked DD what had happened, DD told her, she went out and had a word with the other two girls along the lines of "I'm upset you didn't tell me you'd broken this".
Then today she phoned the mums at work and let them know what had happened. One of the mums was very apologetic, the other one got upset!
I can't work out whether this is OTT or not? I kind of think it isn't and feel very sad for my friend, as now she thinks she has made enemies of these other two mums.
WWYD in this situation? The children concerned are all 7 btw.

Being angry with other people's children and letting them know it - is this unreasonable or not?
