AITA for yelling at my neighbor for secretly driving my daughter to school?

My (37F) 10-year-old daughter has been walking to school on her own for a couple of years.

She knows the route, she’s always on time, and she’s never had any issues.

We live in a relatively safe area, and the school is a 15-minute walk from our home, with ample sidewalks and crosswalks.

She was shocked to learn that her neighbor was driving her daughter to school.

Today, I found out that our neighbor has been driving her to school without my knowledge.

I’m furious and went off on her after I found out.

I feel like she’s overstepping boundaries and undermining our parenting.

Her daughter said it’s not a big deal.

My daughter told me she doesn’t think it’s a big deal, and that it was just some free rides.

I’m still concerned about the neighbor’s actions.

And I find it concerning also that she apparently has been doing this for six months at the end of last school year.

Her husband thinks she’s overreacting.

I told my husband (33M) we needed to set some serious boundaries.

My husband thinks I overreacted and should apologize for shouting at her.

And that it’s her business if she wants to give our daughter a ride anyway, even though we’ve explained our reasoning in the past.

AITA here?

It seems like the neighbor should’ve asked the parents if it was alright before driving the girl to school.
