Wanting to be told if my kids are somewhere

Hello all so long story short my daughter got sick Thursday and she missed school today because she was still under the weather. Also today my other daughter had a school trip I was to help chaperone. I asked my brother if he could watch my daughter since she couldn't go to school and he agreed and I'm thankful. But now I hear my daughter ended up leaving to go with my sister. I called constantly to check on her while on the school trip and no one told me anything. Aibu for being upset about this? Anything could have happened and I was not aware that she even left from being with my sister. My daughter is still in a booster and the whole time she was out she was not in her booster. My family knows I'm really big on my babies safety. This makes me so uncomfortable.

Are you actually talking to yourself?

Show quote history

No, check out the post I quoted.

If I was sock puppeting I might get confused and start responding in the wrong name or talking to myself though…..

Topofthemountain · 04/05/2024 17:09

I don't think it is house who is the one talking to them self.

She was responding to me. Are you ok? You sound completely muddled.

No. That some people turn up here making stuff up and get deleted. Often those people are from outside the U.K.

Was there a suggestion that all posters from outside the UK are in fact the op?!
What on earth are you on about?

Stalking the OP? Perhaps she name changed?

It’s not an outrageous question. Why haven’t you bothered to answer it?

Funny that. Often first time posters, like the op.

You don’t exactly have a long term history here, either.

So what is the law surrounding car seats in the country in which you live?

Did your brother reply to your 'constant texts'?, that in actual fact weren't constant. (Frequent would be a better word)

Also, I’ve noticed a large increase in first posts from people outside the U.K. I’m curious as to why people from other countries post on a U.K. based forum. I know, obviously, that the internet is world wide and there is nothing stopping anyone from any country but I would have thought that a lot of the information and advice would be U.K. centric.

@AliceOlive I hope you're having a good day. I didn't think this question would turn into a scratch match. I really do appreciate your input. And I hope you enjoy your weekend.

Bye all❤️❤️

It happens here! Someone picks a minor detail and harps on it for pages. You can see that reasonable people wouldn’t do what your siblings did though. Only people who think car seats are optional and can’t comprehend photo waivers.

Y'all really think I had my phone out every second of this school trip. A call every other hour is not CONSTANTLY on my phone.

Show quote history

Except you specifically said in your OP that you were calling constantly so…

TBH I wouldn’t get too het up about this myself. But fair enough if you think it’s worth a family falling out, go for it.

FWIW a 6yo is not a baby. And all this “good day” nonsense just makes you look really unpleasant.

ReallyUAreAnElegantChap · 04/05/2024 16:49

My in laws used to do shot like this. They thought that they could take dd out for a short walk and disappear for the afternoon and that we'd be ok with it. Also very lax on car safety and safety generally so I wasn't keen on them being in sole care of our dc.

Sorry you've been given such a hard time here. Some people mightn't be bothered, but you are and if that's your boundary then fine!

My only issue would be the booster seat. The rest is fine. They were doing you favour.

My brother was. Thanks for your input.

I can be rude. And if you didn't have a response to that I initially asked. Why are you here? To go back and forth about me being wrong for taking photos???

Where did I say I was happy with a child going from one family member to another? I’ve not commented on that aspect at all.

Is English your first language? You are coming across as rather rude.

Show quote history

No one asked for UK based advice.

OP is not the rude one here, nor the one displaying issues with the language.

Glad it's like that in the UK outoftheHouse. But like i said it's not like that here. Y'all are not ok with a parent on a field trip taking pictures of your kids to send to their teacher. But are ok with someone... anyone in your family taking your baby without notifying you.

Wow.

Not being in the U.K. does make a difference.

But in the U.K. at least photo consent forms usually refer to photos being taken by the school for use on the school website etc.

@Bellsandthistle you took that literally like me constantly calling? You assumed I what walked away from kids. You never stepped to the side to make a call? Like y'all are intentionally being ignorant.
