Hi ladies, I have one of dd friends here for a sleepover so I was going to take them out for a walk just so they could get fresh air plus, I do that with my dd on a regular basis. The problem is that the friend did not bring a jacket so, shall I give her one of dd spare jackets for the walk or do I call the parent to bring round a jacket.

I really don't mind childminding or kids staying over but I do expect the appropriate clothes to be provided for that night and for the walk to school the next day.

Give her one of your spares. I cant imagine that the parent thought you'd be going out for a walk at this time of night. Assuming you are in the uk.

Give her a spare.

Give her a spare. If you’re in the UK it’s unlikely that the parents would think that they would need to plan for you taking their DD on a late night walk. What age are the children btw?

It will be cold tomorrow so she’ll need a coat then unless the parents are coming for her early in the morning so it was most likely a forgetful oversight.

The kids are 6 Superstar and, we are taking them to school tomorrow as well so a jacket will be needed.

Is this for real? You really can't make a decision on whether to lend a coat or not without asking the internet? Confused

Are you in the uk and taking 2 6 year olds out for a walk at 9.30?

Maureen80 · 31/01/2019 21:50

I'm in the UK yes and, its only a 5 minute walk up to the shop.

It's bitterly cold out tonight. No need to take kids out in this unless it's an emergency.

Do you not think they can cope without the fresh air for one day?

Gazelda · 31/01/2019 22:05

I wouldn't be impressed if my dd was saying at someone's house and was taken out to the shop at 9.30pm.
Why aren't the children in bed? They're 6 and have school tomorrow.

Maureen80 · 31/01/2019 22:06

Yeah, I think I will give it a miss but the dilemma still exists for the walk to school tomorrow morning.

A walk at 9.30pm on one of the coldest nights of the year for a pair of 6 year olds?! It's a bit unusual.

Nothisispatrick · 31/01/2019 22:18

Wow, such a dilemma! Seriously why aren’t they in bed? Give her a spare jacket for walk to school.

Maureen80 · 31/01/2019 22:29

They are in bed now, DH just reading them a bedtime story ;). For the walk to school tomorrow, a spare of dd will be used :).

At 10.30! I’m usually in bed before that!

CreakyBlinder · 31/01/2019 22:42

How is it a dilemma? She doesn't have a coat. Lend her a coat.

I think its time to get this closed as I got the answer I was looking for :).

You appear to have a bit of a jacket obsession OP....

Maureen80 · 31/01/2019 22:58

Don't start. Before you say anything, I'm not a troll!

Not really a ‘dilemma’ is it?
