My 4 year old DS managed to get separated from me recently at an event. We all got a fright but he did exactly what I had told him to do - went straight to an event steward (who was wearing the kind of hi-vis waistcoat I had told DS and my older DD, as soon as we arrived at the venue, to go to if they got lost) and we were re-united within a couple of minutes. I've discussed with DS and DD on various occasions since then about what happened and we've talked about how they must stay close by me at all times. He has also had "stranger danger" talks at nursery which we have then followed up by talking about at home.
My DSis, who must have heard about this incident from another family member, as I didn't tell her, has now sent me a wrist link (sort of lead thing you use to attach yourself to a young child) via Amazon - no phone call, text or email commenting/explaining why, just a package through the post to me.
I do actually already have a wrist link (never used to date as there has never been any problem before) which I was seriously considering using with DS the next time we are at an event with crowds. And if I didn't already have one but wanted one I could easily get one for myself.
AIBU to be offended by DSis sending me this? The background, by the way, is that DSis often over-rides how I am handling my DS and DD when she is with us, for example by giving them different instructions from what I have just asked them to do, or weighing n to tell them they have been naughty when I have already dealt with it the way I thought best. Am I just being over-sensitive?
