[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She was inconvenienced because of your son's fault. That is the fact.   It does not matter if you think that her inconvenience was small. That is your opinion.

You are feeling inconvenienced because you are supposed to fix your son's fault. That was your moral obligation. But you did not allow yourself to be inconvenienced to fix your son's fault.  That is your selfishness and entitlement. You are not a good role model to your children in doing the right thing. Sorry, but I am not on your side. Even though I have sympathy for your situation.

Sometime doing the right thing is not easy, but not doing the right thing is wrong.[/quote]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Can't believe most of the posters are putting the obligation on the wronged party and NOT the OP. Unbelievable. [/quote]

This.  You should have a neighbor of friend you can call to sit with your children at your house so you can leave the house for an hour or two in a situation like this.  Did you even try to find someone?  You could have just put the kids in the car and let them fall asleep.  And if they didn't fall asleep, the next day is a Saturday, they could have slept in to make up for it.  You could have offered to get up super early today to drive it back in the AM.  Did you offer that? You could have offered to fed ex it overnight to wherever they are staying.  Did you offer that?  Did you really offer anything?

Get labels for your child, FOR EVERYTHING, like off of mabels labels or something, to prevent this from happening again.  You don't know what the deal is with this family, maybe this is the kid's ultimate favorite bathing suit of all time, and they are all sold out that size, who knows.  I think it kind of sucks to ask you to drive it a far distance and sure I would be annoyed at both the bathing suit mom AND my kid who should have been old enough to make sure he brought home the correct suit.  But that's life.[/quote]

"a situation like this"? I have people I can count on to help my kids if we need to take one to the hospital, if someone's flight was rescheduled and comes in late, if I'm called in to work etc. But to return a bathing suit? I would be embarrassed to ask for someone to help in "a situation like this" (and no doubt they would say hell no, tell the lady you'll get it to her in the morning or next week).

How do you live? We can't function as a society with such rigid expectation over every trifling thing.[/quote]
