[blparent] did I handle this right?

[Stephanie Mitchell]

Just wanting to know what you all think.  I'd been working on my 
parenting more and it's nice to know I can come here for advice.
This morning, my 7 yo decided to really test the waters big time! 
We were almost to school, when she told me that she thought Cathy 
had dropped her reader bag, and had no idea where it was.  It had 
notices that had to be returned, with some rather personal 
information, so I really needed that bag.  Because it's only 
Cathys third day at school,  I decided to drop Cathy off, then 
Michele and I would go looking for that bag.  I was prepared to 
go right home if need be.  I'd checked both bags before leaving 
the house, and both had every thing in it.  Anyway, Michele and I 
went almost back home when the lady at the crossing came up to us 
with the bag.  Michele was about 30 mins late because of it.  
Then when she did arrive, she tossed the bag in the pram, and 
when I asked her why she said she wouldn't need it, which isn't 
true.  So I made her get for out and put it back.
So......  how mean am I?
