DD is taking part in an event after school hours today to do with a activity she does in school...
There was a bit of confusion on how DD would be getting to said event, we had filled in a consent form, however they were looking for parents to help with transport and it wasn't until she had left for school this morning I realised there wasn't actually a collection time or place (i.e. back at school or event) DD is a bit of a worrier so I had asked DH (on a half day today) to pop into school and ask what the plan was, he came back saying he was none the wiser and would find DD at the end of school day and make sure she got to meeting point for them all to leave so we could be sure of details.
I can tell DH is dying to get involved with transport (half day wasn't planned so we hadn't said we could help on consent form) however we had a discussion about how it was good for DD to go with her friends and not have us watching over her.
DH went to pick DC up at the end of school day as per and returned home to shout out to me that he was helping with transport and had DD and class mate in car and was taking them to even (shocker!!)
Let it go, DH's job involves him working away a lot and it's nice for him to attend/help with things when he can.
However he has just phoned me and we have proceeded to have an argument (all be of passive aggressive texts as still at event) to say that he will be stopping at supermarket on the way home to pick up dinner while he is in care of DD and her classmate...
I genuinely think this is a really, really stupid idea, we do not know the child or her parents, yes she has signed a consent form to be transported too and from a school event but I doubt school policy includes a trip round Asda as well...
DH is furious at me for not telling what I want for dinner (getting onboard with this plan) and furthermore having a go at him about it, his claim, "I'm doing the child/family a favour and therefore I'm sure they won't mind me stopping at a shop that is on way back home" (although wasn't said as nicely to me as that!!!)
DH is the nicest guy in the world and I'm I'm honest it wouldn't bother me if it was the other way round and DD was getting a lift from another parent but AIBU to worry that all parents might not be on board with this and not only find it fairly unethical and complain but for it to have a negative impact on DD and any future events/friends/play dates..
