Wanting to be told if my kids are somewhere

[kimberlyy]

Hello all so long story short my daughter got sick Thursday and she missed school today because she was still under the weather. Also today my other daughter had a school trip I was to help chaperone. I asked my brother if he could watch my daughter since she couldn't go to school and he agreed and I'm thankful. But now I hear my daughter ended up leaving to go with my sister. I called constantly to check on her while on the school trip and no one told me anything. Aibu for being upset about this? Anything could have happened and I was not aware that she even left from being with my sister. My daughter is still in a booster and the whole time she was out she was not in her booster. My family knows I'm really big on my babies safety. This makes me so uncomfortable.

Yes and no she doesn't have children. My brother said he thought I knew, but I didn't.

Did you let him know it bothered you? It was on him to keep you informed. Does he have kids?

If you were my sister I wouldn't agree to babysit again. Too much drama.

@AliceOlive yes we spoke and explained to him how that made me uncomfortable. He understood because he has a son. I just wish I had a heads up before. That's all

Awesome!

So your sister lied to your brother and just came and took your child? How did she even know she wasn't at school? Why wouldn't your brother say no or check with you and why did she need to drive her? Honestly there's so much important information missing?

No you shouldn’t. Not if you’re supposed to be supervising children on the trip.

phones shouldn’t be out other than in emergencies.

Also why even go on the trip if you would spend the whole time on the phone, why not send your brother in your place and stay home with the unwell child?

No, we have ample info.

Her brother agreed to keep her child, then let someone else take off with her with no car seat instead. Then failed to even relay the info to the OP.

Nothing else is important here. Not where the OP was at the time, what she was wearing or what she ate for lunch.

Well now he didn’t babysit, did he? Because he let someone else take her child.

@Sirzy yes I can! End of discussion if the teacher had a problem she would have said so. I was not playing on my phone. I was checking on my child. Good day

I went because I paid for me and my daughter. I went because I sent in my background check. I can't send someone to replace me bc a background check through the school is needed before heading to the trip.

@AliceOlive thanks for understanding what I'm saying! ❤️

Yes their other sibling 🤷‍♀️. And if I was either sibling I wouldn't babysit again due to the drama.

So tell the school you can't go? If you're spending the whole trip on your phone then you're not doing what is required of you or supervising the children. I'm still not sure how your sister even knew she wasn't at school though or why your brother just let her take his niece when you hadn't said she was getting her or he'd confirmed it with you?

What drama?

Is this a wind up?

Why would it be a wind up? This isn't the you have to agree with the OP forum she's asking if she's being unreasonable and people are allowed to think she is?

It really shouldn’t be a big deal. It’s just weird that your sister came and took her and he didn’t bother to tell you. Disrespectful. Indicative of people who don’t have much sense.

Good thing you're not. Me being concerned for my child's safety is not too much drama🤷🏼‍♀️

@AliceOlive

What drama?

"Constant" phone calls, catastrophing outcomes, a MN thread.

That drama.

@ZipZapZoom I did exactly what was required of me. And all babies went home safely to their parents. Good day

You haven’t indicated if you agree or disagree that taking someone’s child away from the place they expect them to be for no reason without informing them is ok or not.

Care to weigh in on the topic? Or shall we discuss what type of trip she was chaperoning and if we think it was a good choice for the school to make or if there are better places they could have taken the class that day?

Yabu for constantly being on your phone.

If you don't trust a person to have your child and ring you if needed then you shouldn't have left dc.

Y'all really think I had my phone out every second of this school trip. A call every other hour is not CONSTANTLY on my phone.
