A mini moan - but please feel free to tell me I am a rubbish mother if I am in fact being unreasonable.
We live in a very quiet cul de sac - no crime round here, v v friendly area etc etc.
Anyway, in the mornings when I take the dog for a walk I put DD in her pushchair then go back in the house for the dog. I am literally in the porch, with my back to the door but DD is at the bottom of our (loud crunchy gravel driveway).
Occasionally I might quickly go to the loo while DD is on the drive but that is right next to the porch, and like I say, the driveway is loud and if someone were to come down it I would hear someone).
Anyway - my neighbour came over today to warn me not to leave DD "all alone outside the house" as you don't know "who is about".
I know she's just being kind and thoughtful etc etc but DD is my PFB and I really try not to be one of those parents who sees danger and paedophiles on every corner and now I feel like peopel think I am utterly careless
