[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are these places you're running out to places you could just bring the kids?

Today, I had a class scheduled at the gym, so not always. Mom was running late and so I had to cancel my class. [/quote]

I would not cancel the class.
Text the mom and say that you can leave the girls unsupervised or they can come with you to the gym and wait outside the door.
I would also ask the mom what are the specific concerns.  If there is some weird custody issue or the girl is a suicide risk or has a medical condition, you need to know.  [/quote]

The custody thing happened to me once- with a friend of my DS. The boys were 12 or 13 at the time. The dad (her exh) was an abusive drunk & the mom had a restraining order against him….so the mom confided in me, asking that I never leave him alone and keep a close watch if I take the boys anywhere. I appreciated the heads up. Just in case.

I was happy to do so, and there was never a problem. (Four years later, mom is happily remarried and the family is thriving. The friend rarely sees his dad, who has not improved much since. But is peaceful.)[/quote]
