Quick background. V good friend of mine has dd's, her youngest is in same year as my dd (year 3) & her eldest is year 6 (my ds is year 5). She messaged me at 6am today (waking me up) saying she's stuck at her boyfriend's in South London, pls can I have the girls after school?
I say no bother (which it isn't, at all), but they'll need to walk with my two home as I'm working today. I'll be home either just before or just after they get there so they wouldn't be left alone for any large length of time.
Well, that wasn't okay, she asked if I could pick them up from their house (literally two streets away from mine). I said no, if you want me to look after your dd's after school that's fine, but they'll have to make their own way there.
I haven't had a reply yet, so I've told my two they might be walking home with my friends dd's but they don't actually know. Ds not allowed his phone in school (obviously) so I've no way of telling him if he's walking home with just his sister or with the other two girls as well!
Aibu? I'm feeling quite miffed tbh (tho that might be the 6am wake up!)
