WWYD - not a real issue by any means!

Moving house tmw and I forgot to remind 4 year old dd she wasn't going to see the house again before taking her to preschool this morning. (She's having a sleepover tonight.)

I'm picking her up and delivering her to sleep over but it's in the opposite direction to our house. So not an easy divert, come in and say bye.

She'll be disappointed she didn't say bye to the house. I realise it's bricks and mortar but the only home she's ever known.

Do I bring her back to say bye for a few seconds or just ignore it and deal with it when she realises?

Why dont you ask her when you pick her up from preschool if she would like to say goodbye to the house. If shes not bothered, go straight to the sleepover but if she is bothered I think it would be worth the detour this once. Good luck with the move

Yes, take her to say goodbye. I know it's a pain, but I think it's important. You could ask her if she wants to pop and say goodbye, and she might say no. Some people are less sentimental than others.

Thanks for the replies. That's my feeling but I'm sure dh would say I'm being silly, I feel better knowing other people think it's important too. So I'll give her the option at least. Thanks.

Yeah, I think you need to give her the opportunity to have that closure.

Yes, give her the option.
