My Dd (11) went to a sleepover at a friends last night. I dropped her off at 10am and friends mom said she would bring her home by 10am next day. At 1130 I get a text to say she will be home at 3pm. She was finally bought home at 4pm! I know it's sounds like I'm overbearing but am I being unreasonable to be annoyed? DD has homework and DH hasn't seen her since Wednesday due to work commitments!

Did the 11.30am text say why? I might have gone and fetched her myself if I wanted her home earlier.

Depends, your dd might have kept saying she wanted to stay. I find I have to put my foot down after she delays it a few times - if you told your dd the deadline, or said you needed to come and pick her up now yanbu. If she didn’t know you had plans, yabu.

I didn't want to sound like a kill joy and next time I will pick her up instead of relying on them to bring her home. It just made me feel uncomfortable that they kept changing the time

Why didn't you go and get her yourself?
