I spend a lot of time alone with my dd. I take her to plenty of places such as play centres, the playground, friends and families houses. With the warm weather we've had plenty of picnics etc.

Today though we haven't don't much. Just chilled out at home. Watched some tv. Played a bit. Did some washing and cleaning. She's 4....
AIBU to not bring her out today? I'm pretty tired the last few days and kind of need a day of nothing but I feel bad for her.
I don't remember going places everyday with my man but I did have a garden to play in.. we don't.

(Also, school holidays. Traditionally the prime troll / shit stirrer time.)

@scolotti Yeah, I did confront you. And why not? Your words were absolutely unnecessary. PP was referring to the likes of you who stick the spoon in. Not those who call them out.

Hmmmm possibly @martymc.
@scolotti there are ways of saying these kind of things and yours was unkind. At least you've kind of apologised.

Hmmm scolotti I don't know how you would see my original post as a "stealth boast" when the only outings I mentioned really were trips to the park for picnics and family and friends houses.

Yes, it was a serious question. Everyday I am bombarded with people off out with their kids on a daily basis. I went for lunch today with my dd, apart from that we did nothing... I had siblings to play with so I was happy to be hone as a child. My dd has none and so I feel tremendously guilt when I don't take her out to socialise.

I asked a question... if you didn't like it then you should have moved along. No need to be nasty.

It’s absolutely fine. My DS loves being with others and being out but he also loves having days where we stay in our pyjamas and watch tv. He’s an only child and can entertain himself and is happy in his own company - it’s a good thing for children to be bored occasionally.
