Would you let your dc be driven by another parent, to their house , for a play date?

[DabblesinDebate]

AIBU not to want this?

think other parent thinks i am weird because i said I would pick dc up after school and follow them in car to their house, and drop off.

yabu and wii learn

Depends how old child is.
But i dont have a problem with it

Does she not have the correct car seat?

as long as they have the appropriate car seat or booster, what is the problem?

how old is he/she?

Why don't you want it?
At dd's school there is often a mum seen running across the playground in the morning with the childs booster seat for ater school playdates.
TBH it wouldn't bother me dd is often pickied up by a friend and her mum and goes off with her booster and I do the same with friends children in fact one friend of mine we actually swop one of our children because one of hers and one of mine always travel better than both siblings together lol.

yabu, and precious.

The first time it happened I was a little nervous, but now the dc's do it all the time. I also take other people's dc's home with me for play dates.

I appreciate that they trust me with their children and I trust them with mine.

is your child never to use public transport, or fly in an aeroplane, or take a taxi, or go on a school trip......?

Well I would personally jump at the chance to not have to do pick up, and gladly hand the bag of afterschool clothes over to the other parent at school that morning.

But we all have our comfort zones, no?

(I always offer my booster seat if I don't know if the parent has a spare)

PFB much?

THis Mum is the same one you probably drive past daily on the way to and from school. If you feel that your child is in danger in the car with her then how can you actually allow the risk of driving past her?

IMO, you are not alone being worried (we are all neurotic on the inside IME) but you are a bit over the top acting on it!

If I was the mother of the other child I would think you were very strange. Is this your first child?

Love the name BTW - were you expecting to get a bit of a strong response to this?

they had a booster seat. dc is under 7.

i dont really know the people. never been in a car with them, but tbh its not personal

dotn wnat the responsibilty of my child to be soemone elses.

AI-REALLY-BU?

YADBU. D stands for definitely.

If you said that to me I'd think you were weird too, tbh. Why on earth don;t you want your dc to go with her?

yabvvvu
if you trust them tohave your dc in their house, andunder their care, then the car journey should be a part of it.

yes, its my first dc. no not being controversial, this is just my chat name....

maybe i am just neurotic or paranoid!

or both

If you trust them to have Dc for a playdate then providing they have booster seats .
Don`t see what the problem is

well, i dotn really wnat them to go on the play date either, but am tentativley cutting apron strings!!!

If you have any more dc's, by the 3rd you'll be throwing your kids at them!

yees, of course,you are bu

it saves you having to do the school run for starters - unless you have more than one?

if you are that concerned, make it the weekend and you can take them.

have you chatted to the mum at school?

at least chat when you pick them up, other than that - what on earth is there to worry about?

I think the op is sweet. we all worry about weird stuff with our pfb's

YABU.
And I don't understand why you would have a problem with this.

I don't get it. You don;t want your child to be their responsibility yet your child is going to be at their house (presumably without you). It doesn't make sense.

dabbles, sweetheart, you truly are BU.

Please don't make your DC feel like their Mum is a loon a bit embarrassing.

Go with the flow, DC will be fine.
