Went to the shoe shop a few weeks ago with my husband and children aged 2 and 4. They each had their feet measured, had grown by half a size since last time, selected a pair of shoes each from ones brought to us by the assistant, the fit was checked by the shop assistant, we paid for the shoes and went on our way.
Now my older child is saying her shoes are too small, I've checked the receipt and the shoes and they are 7.5 instead of 8.5 that we were told in the shop, so a whole size smaller. That is pretty annoying as what's the point of having the shop check the fit - it's a farce clearly, although obviously mistakes can be made. We probably should have checked the size ourselves although assumed the fact they the assistant said they fitted meant they were the right size! Won't bother having shoes fitted again that's for sure.
Anyway coming to my aibu now. I told my husband about this saying I would return to shop and complain, and the first thing he did was go and tell off my 4 year for not saying that the shoes were too small when we were in the shop. I intervened saying it's hardly her fault, it could be our fault or the shop's but not a 4 year old's. He responded saying well she's got to learn somehow and stomped off to the shed and is now in a mood with me for interfering in his parenting. Wondering if I am going mad now.
Yabu - 4 year old child should say if shoes don't fit even though shop lady says they are fine
Yanbu - shop and parents take responsibility for checking correct size of shoes for 4 year-old child
