We had friends round tonight - couple with two children the same ages as ours. Our main connection is the dc, but I do like them.
Anyway, today ds2 (5) is a little upset as it was his best friend's last day at school because she is moving. In addition, dh is having a relapse of ghis ms, so things were a little fraught for us, but I thought having friends around would cheer the dc up. During the playdate (sorry, don't know what else to call it 
) This couple's daughter became very attached to a small doll/mermaid thing of ds's.
All went well, but, as they were getting ready to leave, the mother suddenly asked my ds if he would mind lending said doll/mermaid thing to her dd. He looked a little taken aback but said yes.
AIBU in thinking this was a little pushy? It put ds on the spot and, had it caused a tantrum when they had gone (it didn't, to be fair, but I bloody hope he doesn't start asking for it tomorrow) I think that would have finished me off after the day I've had. I would never do it; I think 5 is too young to be put on the spot like this and if my dc get attached to toys at friends' houses I distract them at the time/talk about how it belongs to X, and put it on the wish list if they remember it later.
We don't see them that often, so no idea when he will get it back.
Was she or am I Ur?
