To think this is weird

Next door neighbours were round for lunch last weekend and said they were in need of a childminder for their 12yo the following weekend. They were off on a weekend break and their childminder fell through. We offered (it was no problem really - we have a 2yo ds who loves the attention).
In the end the mother didn't go on the holiday (hay fever attack) but the 12yo still came round and has been staying with us for two nights, while her mother is next door, perfectly recovered from hay fever.

We haven't said anything, as we're too polite and perplexed. So AIBU to think they should have stopped their daughter from coming over and the whole situation is weird?!?

Hello Trin!

A very odd thread.
Well, no, the threads okay. The neighbours are odd.

Well, whatever else, you have banked a favour.

Fancy a weekend away without your 2 yo?

TheRealAmandaClarke · 19/04/2015 17:08

It does seem a little odd
Bit I would still give the childcare as arranged.
Is a break away more "deservin" than an "allergy" or relTionship crisis?
Dunno.

Hello Trin lovely to 'see' you Smile

Ive read threads that coconutty has posted on and she has been called coco. Confuses me end because I haven't remembered posting on them Blush Grin

TwoOddSocks · 19/04/2015 17:15

That is odd, maybe the girl was looking forward to it and they thought you were too because she could play with your DS? Still rather strange that it hasn't occurred to them to check with you.
