To wonder why he asked my dd where her mum is

To cut a long story short we went on holiday to majorca, just me, my dd and my sister. When we checked in we were all very tired after being delayed and getting to our hotel later than expected (it was 1am, we’d expecting to arrive about 10-11pm) so we just really wanted to get our room key and go to bed. The hotel manager who was checking us in was doing the usual checking of passports etc, and he looked up and said to my dd ‘where is your mum?’ she was rather tired and just said ‘there’ and pointed at me. The manager then looked at me, laughed a little and said ‘I know I know’ Confused Don’t know whether I’m making something out of nothing but I just thought it was all a bit odd, and quite rude to be honest. I probs look younger than I am and I did have my dd young (I’m 29 and shes 11) but he had our passports so could see my date of birth, so I don’t know whether he was insinuating I’m too young to be a mum to an 11 year old and wondering where dd’s mum was, I don’t know, like I say it just all seemed a bit odd

My mistake sorry! Still half asleep! In that case I am going for the trying to be a bit flirty/bantery. Certainly nothing sinister.

It's a security check, nothing to do with how young you look GrinGrin

What a weird thing to worry about!

It is a mild security check. In the same way airport staff will sometimes say a child’s name out loud to see if there’s a response.

Are you normally over sensitive?

MarthasGin I think you sound a bit ‘odd’ too.. I didnt post here to be criticised thanks anyway though!

Inforapenny I’m home from holiday now and not tired anymore but thanks for your concern Grin

Yes I think those who said it was probably a security check are right thanks for making me see it from a different point of view. We do have the same surname though. I didnt mean that I look really young because I don’t, what I should of said is maybe he just thought my daughter looked a bit older than what she is so I looked a bit young to be her mum, I don’t know Confused

Crunchymum you’re probably right I probably am a bit sensitive about it

Strawberrisc I am just interested in other peoples experiences checking in abroad etc as single parents, if you think the post’s pointless why waste time replying!?

LEELULUMPKIN that made me chuckle, I wouldn’t send her to check in by herself Grin
