To tell them to leave their nearly 4yo brother at home next time

[Threeyearoldsarethebest]

Local kids trailed to our house with our kids from the local playground to continue playing. No problem there and their parents have been texted, so their location is known.

I am happy to host older kids (6yo plus). But I don't want to be running around after a very young one on my lazy Saturday when I haven't been asked first.

He threw a massive tantrum when his sibling tried to take him home and therefore I am ignoring it and when he calms down take him home myself.

Surely this type of behaviour is why they shouldn't be out without an adult themselves.

My youngest is 5yo and she is always with an adult. Once she is 6yo she will be going to the park without me but with her siblings (oldest 13yo) but not atm.

AIBU to tell the siblings of the 3yo (nearly 4yo) who turned up that he should be home with his parents and next time to take him home before they come here.

I have already done it but my oldest thinks I am unreasonable. I fancied getting more opinions.

Ps. Mother works Saturdays, so dad is having a lazy Saturday with me watching all his kids. I might be feeling a little irked by that too. I can't see a mother sending a 3yo (nearly 4yo) out of their own

The parents are “nice?”

I bet they are - with all the chilling out they can do while you look after their kids.

Dad was fine. I will make sure that the young boy is redirected back home at my door in future.

Typically my husband was all, what does one more matter. But he went out if the house to run errands, so he wasn't doing the watching !

Tbh I made my 13yo watch him and she was getting sick of doing the watching by the time he went home. Lol. So my oldest understands the difference between having a 6 yo and a 3 yo in terms of attention needed.

Most of the time we are a more is merrier house and if little ones come with parents that is fine. But everyone has their limits and this one is mine.

It is good to read that AINBU :)

Yanbu.
