Mum thinks 5-year-old gave away wedding rings to a friend but is worried about asking the other parent

A woman left devastated upon learning that her wedding rings were missing has taken to popular online forum Mumsnet, to explain how she thinks her 5-year-old daughter may have given them to a friend while they were playing together.

On the 'am I being unreasonable' thread, she said that her daughter had admitted to giving the rings to her school friend. But the mum was unsure how she could approach the child's mother without coming across as 'accusatory', and asked Mumsnet users for their advice

She said: "Long and short of it is - my DC [dear child] and her friend were playing in my house. They went up to my bedroom where my rings are normally on the nightstand. Next day I noticed they were missing. I asked DC [dear child] if she had given my rings to her friend. She said no. When her friend was leaving she tried to give her a wind chime which I'd discouraged. Previously, DC [dear child's] friend had taken an inconsequential item from her house and given it to my DC [dear child] which I gave back to the mum.
