Thanks all. I always find typing things out helps me work through things, and the good people on AET have always been able to solve all of life's problems.
I am more mad about this now, than I was yesterday when I first found out. It has been really bugging me today.
I also have expected an apology phone call today. I didn't get one.

frankly, if it were me, i doubt i'd ever let her around my children ever again...a person with that lack of responsibility should be avoided

Agreed. She and her husband are the kid's Guardians if anything were to happen to the both of us. We are re-considering this decision...
When she dropped Mikayla off, I was dealing with a crying 2 year old, a 5 year old who was jealous. I calmly told her to go home and that we would discuss it later.
When she said that I needed to realize and accept that Mikayla was growing up and that it wasn't a big deal....I told her that it wasnt her decision to make.
Wow. I was going to say maybe you should go a little easy on her this time, until I got to this post. There's a HUGE difference between not having the parenting skills to know when it's inappropriate to leave a child alone (because you can learn and not make that mistake ever again) and refusing to accept that it is a big deal and it's not up to her.

How did you even find out about it?
She started talking about the ride....and I said "when did you go on that ride"?
She said "today"....So I said "ummmmmm wait a second"
This makes my blood boil. Firstly for her selfishness causing her disregard for child safety and secondly, for basicly telling you that you are being too overprotective. How would she know what it is like to have the most precious thing in the world to you, left alone like that?
There are far too many crazies in this world, you can't take your eyes of young kids in these sorts of places, or anywhere crowded for that matter.
There is no excuse, but do be aware that this can effect your whole family dynamics. I have had similar experiences and opted to tell them my outrage and then found myself on the outer with the whole Inlaws.
But hey, no skin off my nose.
I also heard a story of a couple with a 2yr, franticly shouting and searching for thier other young kid at a fairground. Another couple offered to watch the 2yrd so they could split up and go looking.
Both children were kidnapped this day.
Please someone tell me it was just an urban legend.
