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.

In my experience the rules are usually that you can take pictures of your own child but not others. Sending them to the teacher is by the by. They will still be on your phone.

In light of the update about the complete lack of safeguarding knowledge from those in charge of the ops children 5 days a week whilst not acceptable except in an emergency it suddenly seems pretty trivial to be honest.

@OutOfTheHouse and I'm explaining my experience. This is not the first school trip I've been on where those are the rules. Thanks for your input tho.

@kimberlyy in your OP you state you called constantly, you've changed that to a text every hour and a half

Keep the story straight, you're making yourself look disingenuous.

It’s the chickens that make you unreasonable here. 😂

YABU to say you’re very “concerned about safety” like other parents aren’t. 😂
Id not be happy if you were supposed to be supervising my child on a trip and stepped away every hour and a half, meaning someone else had to supervise a larger group of kids when ratios are done for a reason: safety.

It's the same thing😂😂 thank is constantly checking on my daughter.

I’m a primary school teacher and I’ve run a fair number of school trips over the years. I’ve also written risk assessments and have safeguarding training every year. But thank you for your input though.

Did I say other parents were bells? Did I?

@OutOfTheHouse I don't remember asking what you did.

I hope you are not responsible for any children, then.

It’s not a “which is worse” competition. Car seats are non-negotiable unless the child was suffering a life or death emergency and needed to be transported to the hospital.

Did your daughter need the hospital, OP?

I’m pointing out that perhaps I have more experience than you and that you shouldn’t be taking pictures of other people’s children on your personal phone.

@AliceOlive omg you're right we should have stayed away 😂😂 noted for next time.

You’ve been warned.

I think you have your answer though.

@OutOfTheHouse I did what all the teachers said I could do. I'm not concerned about how much more you THINK you know.

@sorry I'll do better😊

It was their sister, not the bloody bogeyman! Did it really matter which of her siblings was taking care of op's child?

It is implied. And you clearly think your child’s safety is important while other people’s children, the ones you were responsible for supervising on the trip, are less important. You seem obnoxious.

I wouldn’t take someone’s dog without letting them know. Why is it so onerous to keep a parent updated in this day and age? Even if it’s a Samsung, they could have texted and asked.

Why would a sick child need to be taken out by anyone, anyway?

It is not even remotely implied. You seem over sensitive.

Well, no, it isn't. Words have meanings; you can't change them to suit yourself and be surprised when nobody understands.

For all we know her sister is a drunk. Why do you assume someone is automatically comfortable with any family member taking their child without consent?

You stepped away several times. Who had to supervise your group and their group at the same time? That isn’t ok.

@StarlightLime it is so what's next. You wanna keep going back and forth because I said checking in every hour and half is constantly checking on her???

That's is constantly checking
