For context.
Imagine your parents are babysitting and you find them doing something really dangerous with your toddler. Letting them climb up the cooker where there are hot pans. Would you be so scared of confronting them that you'd pretend you didn't notice?
What if you'd booked a holiday (non refundable), then your parents asked you to attend your cousins child's christening party ho you haven't seen for 20 years. Would you cancel your holiday so that you didn't upset your parents.
What if you were about to head out for the day with your dc. Your parents unexpectedly turn up. Do you tell them your sorry but you were on your way out, or drop everything, take off your coat and entertain them instead.
You're about to answer the door to your parents when your child suddenly hurts themselves. Do you leave the door for a minute to help your child or panic, leave the child and run to the door.
