Would you have considered this a pack of adequate supervision?

It's fine.

7 1/2! Totally fine. In fact, you should be happy her kid didn't open the door while the parent was showering. This is a good thing!

Totally not a big deal. That being said, I wouldn't take a shower if I was responsible for somebody else's kid and I was the only adult home...but I wouldn't mind if someone else did it.

Really? This seems like a super casual thing: the girl lives 2 houses down. It would never occur to me that I couldn't shower w/ your SEVEN AND A HALF YEAR OLD (who, from the OP, is clearly also a repeat/familiar guest) in my house. I don't require my 4.5 year old to be supervised in my home and allow her to "supervise" her 2.5 year old brother. It's not like she left the house. She was in the shower!

OP. you are nuts.

[Anonymous]

Was this your daughter's first visit? If not, you are overreacting.

[Anonymous]

My DD7.5 went two houses down to play with a friend. When I finished up lunch, I quickly ran down there to get her, knocking on the door. There was quite a delay before the mom answered, and she said she was sorry, that she was just getting out of the shower. So the girls were left more or less unsupervised for that time while the mom was showering.

It’s rubbing me the wrong way and I don’t know why.

How often does your DD play at this person's house? Because I have a neighbor who sends her kid over all the time and doesn't reciprocate often and yes, I carry on with my life while the kid is in my house. She's watching your kid. If she needs a shower, she takes a shower. They're 7.5. They are completely fine. Do you constantly have eyes on your 7.5 year old and her friends while they're in your home because if you do, that's weird.

You got free unpaid babysitting, basically. Be grateful. Not mad that she took a shower.

[Anonymous]

Do you ever shower when your 7 year old is awake and you two are alone?

[Anonymous]

Lol

7.5 years or months?

[Anonymous]

I shower when my kids are home. Youngest is 5. I think you were rude to just send your kid down and assume the other mom would watch her.

I just feel weird being naked in the house with someone else’s kid there. They might barge in to ask a question. I don’t care if the other parent does it. I just feel funny about it myself. I let my kid run all over the house when it’s just us at home and see no issue at someone else’s home if it’s the norm for them too (as long a anything dangerous/breakable isn’t accessible).

So OP’s 7.5 yo goes in the playpen in the bathroom while she showers?
