[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child only has one suit, and it is THAT important, then why did you send it to a pool party the day before the trip and not check it to see if it came back? Some things are YOUR responsibility as a parent. (the probably only want that particular suit for pictures or something)[/quote]

Taking your child to a party yourself or teaching them how to handle shit in your absence is also your responsibility as a parent. Guess OP missed the boat. [/quote]

The kids are 7, still learning how to handle themselves.  It's a good time to make (usually) small mistakes.  Carpooling isnot a sin, nor is asking for help from others when you have a new baby.[/quote]

So it's the other mom's fault for not checking the swimsuit (but maybe she did - OP's kid was already gone with the other one.) But not OP's fault at all for not going or checking. Having a baby absolves you of any responsibility? It all falls on everyone else? Ok, primadonna.[/quote]

No, OP's kid made a mistake.  It's not the other woman's fault.  The only question is how much trouble is OP obligated to go to to return the suit.  Is returning it on Monday enough, or must she do it at 10pm with two young children and a long drive, possibly in the rain.  I probably would have done the drive, but it would have been the wrong decision, safetywise.

Also, in your response, you were blaming OP for not driving her child herself.  That's unfair.  [/quote]

Not blaming her. Stating a fact. That's a risk you take in having someone watch your kid and theirs. If someone else takes my kid to a party I review what my kid needs to do with my kid, because I expect the other parent to keep my kid alive, not follow them around and make sure they aren't losing shit.
