Am totally prepared to be to told I'm aibu as dh thinks I am. We are not arguing about it as neither of us is sure if the other one is being too paranoid/too relaxed.
Ds and I stopped at a local Sainsbury's this morning. There's a very small parking area for just 4 cars, covered, with the entrance right next to the entrance for Sainsbury's. But you can't see the car park from Sainsbury's as basically the car park is adjacent to the building. To walk from car to sainsburys enttance takes about 20 seconds As the car park entranc3 could just be an entrance to a next door shop. There are no roads etc to cross obviously either.
Ds , nearly 8, asked if he could stay in car. I said yes as felt it was good he felt confident enough as generally he's not very independent. I was in store long enough to pick up croissants and milk. No queue as it was early. Maybe 5 minutes or less.
Dh feels I shouldn't have left him. I feel independence should be encouraged but I do see his point that I couldn't see him or hear him, even if he could run to me super quickly.
What do you all think? Was iabu?
