Ok, I made a silly spur of the moment mistake at Legoland on Sat, but DH still won't drop it

and he's really getting on my nerves.

He had popped back to the car with cool bag and all the other junk and we were supposed to meet up by a certain ride. DH took longer than I expected and I wandered on with our DDs (6.5) and ended up in a mahooosive queue for a roller coaster. After queueing for about 20 minutes with very excited DDs I decided to ring DH to tell him where I was - he didn't answer as his 'phone was at home . Then I started to worry that he wouldn't find us and we still had about 45 minutes of queueing to do.

So DD offered to go and look for daddy and I let her go . As she disappeared into the throng of people my stomach lurched and I couldn't believe that I had done such a silly thing. She is very sensible and I knew she wouldn't get lost but she is only 6. She was only gone for about 5 minutes and returned saying she couldn't find him.
When we did meet up DD told DH all about her exciting little adventure and he went ballistic. He still hasn't dropped it, saying would "could" have happened, and I don't think he trusts me with them now.

if he had done the same, what would you have said and done to him?
you have realised you did a silly thing and with potentially awful consequences
does he generally hold grudges or is he usually reasonable?

Yes it was a silly mistake, but you realise it. No need for him to go over this again and again. I am pretty sure that he has made bad parenting mistakes as well.

we all make those decisions sandy, and learn from them.

The point here though, is that nothing happened and your dh isn't making you feel better by bleating on about it.

I'm sure he'll drop it soon enough, and equally sure that he still trusts you.

try not to beat yourself up about it, and tell him to put a sock in it!

we all make silly mistakes, you wont do it again tell him to get over it or think of something he has done thats bad so you can have a go at him !!!

we all make mistakes.
he left his home at home which is a pretty silly thing to do when you go to legoland.
Nothing happened - your daughter was sensible.
Also - I personally think Legoland is a pretty "safe" sort of place and they are probably very used to lost children so the reality of what "might" have happened is probably far from what he thought might have happened IYSWIM

He needs to stop going on about it now though

Everytime he says something, say whats the point of a mobile phone when you leave it in the house.
