My DD has just started reception, my friends youngest also has and they're in the same class. I pick up her son once a week and she picks mine up, I picked him up today and messaged her and asked if she can pick DD up tomorrow as I have an appointment, she said her DS(18) is going to pick up his brother and she can ask him to pick up DD as well.
I don't really feel comfortable with this as she's never met him and it’d mean her being with someone she doesn't know. DH said I'm overreacting and it'll be fine.
AIBU?

They'd be walking which isn't a problem as it's just a short walk, he'd then have give her dinner and watch her for about an hour and half/2 hours. DD may have seen him briefly but he's usually out when my friend takes her back to hers after school.

I wouldnthave a problem with this. Would people have a problem if this was a teenage girl? Or say a male au pair age 19? Both examples of people who have picked up my kids to take them to friend's houses. Around here most people have an au pair or a nanny i.e. parents dont often pick their kids after school so am sort of used to it

@MolliciousIntent well around where we live - children only ever get picked up by nannies and au pairs. I dont really know them - however, in my part of London it is totally normal for a parent to say Katie (nanny) will pick up... and they can have a playdate at ours. Frankly seeing as I dont really pick up my own kid, I have no idea who Katie is..but we assume that a nanny employed by a friend is reliable. What else you going to do when everyone works long hours and is never at pick up.

But the brother isn't a stranger to the other child that will be there.
