Dd2 has just come into me in floods of tears because a woman who lives a few doors round has just had a go at her.
Apparently yesterday this womans dd (will call her R) had been out the front on her bike and then her and her mom went out. R said to next doors dd (will call her P, she is also 5) that she could use her bike. (the bike is normally left sitting on the front garden, day and night).
At some point then during the day my dd and P and a whole load of other kids went down to the play area at the end of our road. This is a normal occurance, and P goes down on her own as well as with my dd or any other kids that are around.
When i told my dd to come in last night she said that P had told her to bring R's bike up but she couldn't as she had her own scooter etc. I told her to go tell P to fetch it herself which dd did.
I have just been out to the woman and basically she is saying that dd was in charge of all the kids being the eldest there and that she should have made sure her dd's bike got brought home.
I told her not to be so ridiculous, and that my dd was not responsible for next doors kids or other kids property, and she told me to fuck right off.
Am I going mad to think that she is being completely unreasonable to blame my dd for a bike that she had absolutly nothing to do with ??
