AIBU re ice skating  (27 Posts) PrivatelyPeaceful Tue 12-Feb-13
15:45:48  AIBU to not want a relative to take dds aged 8 and 10
ice skating, and want to supervise them myself when they skate?
I would take them myself and have done so a couple of times, but
think that its actually quite a dangerous activity in terms of
possibility of injury occurring.  Partly this is to do with this
particular relative not having dc and not being that tuned in to
the amount of support my younger child might need to help her
negotiate an ice rink safely (i'd feel ok letting mil take
them).  I am happy to go all together as on outing, but do feel
anxious about relinquishing full responsibility.  AIBU / overly
anxious to engineer things so that this relative doesnt take
them alone?  musicposy Tue 12-Feb-13 17:52:09  It's not that
dangerous - they will be fine. My Dds skate competitively,
mostly in training sessions nowadays but have done hundreds and
hundreds of public sessions in the past and I've sat and
witnessed many more.
