Earlier today I got a message from one of the mums on my daughter's sports team, we know each other from the school gates but speak infrequently. This is actually the first time she has ever messaged me. So she asked if I was going to be picking my daughter up at sports club and if so would I be able to pick hers up as well. Aside from them playing on the same team they do not ever really play with each other outside of the sports club.
I didn't think too much of it so said yes, she said great and then said if I could drop her at one of her older sisters friends house. Again I thought that maybe she was picking up the older sister and as such could pick the younger one at the same place.
When I went to drop her off though the friend's parent answered the door and then her mum came to the door as well with glass of wine in hand. I could then hear there was a few others as well so obviously she was having a mums night with some drinks.
To me this doesn't seem right to be asking someone else to be doing your responsibilities to pick up your child from their activities just so you can go to a friends house and start drinking for the evening. If I was in her position I would have just got my daughter and then if I knew there was a social thing on that evening just joined in later on as it wasn't as though the club finished late.
So just thought I would ask whether I was being unreasonable.
