[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why you feel put upon, OP. Or why you texted the mom. If you wanted to offer lunch, you can ask the kid if she wants to stay for lunch. If you don’t want to, say it’s not a good time. If you don’t want to take her to the pool, then say it’s not a good time to play. What’s the big deal?
Also don’t understand the posts about driving her home, evidently she biked there and can also bike back.[/quote]

OP is feeding the child lunch and changing her plans to let them play a bit, how is that acting “put upon”? She’s asking our advice as to whether she should do the pool thing, and we’re saying it’s not necessary. Moving on.

I do think why would you not text the other parent to make sure they’re home/available before sending your kid on a long bike ride. Running down the street to knock on a neighbor kid’s door is one thing, but a long bike ride, yeah as a parent you kind of feel obligated to at least let the other parent know you have to send their kid home so that someone is watching and waiting for the kid to make it home![/quote]
