Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Met a lot of my extended family at a hotel for lunch yesterday. It’s summer here and there was a little play area outside for kids so all of the other kids in our family were allowed to go play. My daughter (6) was wearing a new little white Dior dress and I really didn’t want her getting dirty and ruining the dress (it wasn’t cheap) so I didn’t let her play. She was really upset with me and I did feel really bad but no one had bothered to let me know there was a play area at this place or I would have dressed her in something else or bought a spare pair of clothes. I was tempted to just take the dress off her and let her go play in her knickers but I know what people are like and I probably would have been labelled a bad mum for allowing that too. So instead of playing outside I let her sit and play on my phone. I got eye rolls from my family and called ridiculous for dressing her in expensive clothes, not letting her play and instead letting her on my phone. They said it was just a dress and I should just let her play, but I wasn’t gonna have her Ruin this dress just so she could play for half an hour,..

Me and the rest of my family are quite different and don’t always see eye to eye but It really annoyed me how they acted like I was a bad mother for not wanting a new expensive dress ruined. 
So was I the asshole for not just letting her play or were they the assholes for acting like I’m a bad mum because of this?
