I had a lunch date with an old friend arranged some time ago. We don't see one another often but have a right good natter and a laugh when we do. Early the morning of the lunch my DD phoned to say her childminder had a crisis and couldn't take her 3 year old. She felt she couldn't take the day off work as she had urgent reports to fill. I said I would cancel the lunch and have the GD for the day at mine. My DD said "Oh Mum Don't cancel your lunch, just take GD with you." My question is How would you feel if a friend turned up to a lunch date with you with her 3 year old GD in tow?
