I'll try to put all information in to be told whether I'm being a bit of a cow or not.

I'm due a parcel today but not until 16:30-18:30. DD6 has been begging to play out today so due to having the back garden dug out, I said she could play in the front garden with her dolls. Whilst she's playing, the door bell rings and as I'm walking through the hall, DD opens the door to tell me delivery is here. At this point, the driver has gone back to his van to retrieve the parcel so DD walks into the house out of the way. Driver puts the parcel down and says to DD 'you can't just go round letting yourself into people's houses you know' without saying a word to me and goes to walk away after scanning item. At that I said 'sorry, what do you mean? She lives here, it isn't a random house'. He went on to say he'd rang the door bell and she'd shouted to him that it was OK, that she'd shout me as I don't always hear the bell from the back of the house. At that he'd made the comment to her and gone to leave. I stopped him and said I felt it was inappropriate that he'd said that to her as this is her house and she thought she was helping by shouting me. I asked if she'd gone to close to him at any point and if that was the issue and he'd said no as hed gone back to the van to retrieve the parcel. I said OK, so you meant YOU personally have to ring the bell as oppose to just being able to open the door as she did and he said no, I was saying she shouldn't have just opened the door. I told him it wasn't his place to tell my daughter whether she could open the door, that it was her home and if he had an issue, he should have spoken to her parents instead of addressing her and walking away. He then tutted at me and walked away.

I have checked our cameras and at no time is she anywhere near him so it's not that he's annoyed she came too close. WIBU here?

I'll fully accept if I should have left him to say his piece but I don't understand what DD did wrong in this scenario?

YABU - delivery driver has every right to say what he did
YANBU - what's his bloody problem?

I bet you go into school and complain when the teacher tells you daughter off too. I complete over reaction.

I cannot believe I have read all this...how can something so trivial be focussed on by a person so much. I am sorry but if that is all you have got to worry about in life...speechless.
