Cheeky fecker!

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

DS is at a friend's house for a sleepover. The mother just text me to say he's been great, they've had a great time and they had a Chinese for dinner, so I can give her the money for his meal 'tomorrow, or whenever I have it.'

She must be joking right?

[KateLivesInEngland]

Oh dear, something tells me she isn't joking!
But she is a cheeky cow!!

[YouTheCat]

Have you had her child over recently?

If so, counter-bill her for anything you might have spent.

[HahahahaFuckYou]

Text her back saying ' hahaha you had me for a minute then! Thought you being were serious!'

[StickTheDMWhereTheSunDontShine]

You eed to ask her if she's serious. Unless you told her she needed to order chinese, she's got a brass neck and a half.

[acasualobserver]

If you reply, "Of course, how much do I owe you?" you'll find out if she's joking or not.

[acasualobserver]

Do what hahaha suggests - much better.

[RuggerHug]

What haha said. If you have ever fed her dc it might kick in her head.

We await the response no life here

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

I'm genuinely fucked off!

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

I'd give her the money and tell her to stick it where the sun doesn't shine, and while I was there. I'd also ask her for the money she owes you for entertaining and feeding her child. Assuming you have done.
Fuckin people. They sure never cease to amaze.

[AMR123456]

How rude is that?! Surely she can't be serious?!!

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

I have her kid at least once a week. Not necessarily for a sleepover but certainly for dinner. Hence being gobsmacked!

[blondieblondie]

Jeezo. Mumsnet has really opened my eyes these last few weeks.

Some right crackpots out there.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Say that rather the give her the money, you'll just put it towards her child's meal when at yours next as usual.

[bloodyteenagers]

I would text back.
Are you for real or is this a piss take?

If it's for real, then I would send the following text.
I cannot believe how fucking tight some arseholes are. But seeing as this is so important to you. X meals for X weeks = x.. Finding out how tight some fuckers are is priceless. So we will call it quits and you can find
Alternative childcare cos like fuck am I having ur child again for dinner.

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

I've always thought of these mums as weird people you only hear of on mumsnet. This is a nice, casual, fun woman! She must be joking! I'm not going to respond and just see where it ends when I pick up tomorrow.

[Myusernameismyusername]

Did she say how much?
Give it to her in 2ps

[Rowanhart]

I'd send 'Haha, good one, glad to hear they're had a good time. See you tomorrow. X'

Send it now then come back and update :)

[AlpacaPicnic]

Act horrified. 'Whaaaat? You gave him Chinese food? But that gives him the most terrible wind. Why on earth didn't you check with me first, oh god I wouldn't want to be in your house now, better crack a window...' Etc etc.

Do not pay her. Hopefully the horror of a farty sleepover room will distract her.

[AdrenalineFudge]

Mumsnet really does open my eyes to an alternate universe sometimes

[YouTheCat]

In that case, long list of what her ds has eaten at yours.

She's a tit. If you having her ds is a favour to her, stop doing it.

[Iwasbornin1993]

Surely she must be joking strange joke though

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

Adrenaline I prided myself on not knowing any of these weird parents. Tonight I was let down by the parent I would least expect it from

She must be joking. I'm going with that.

[Myusernameismyusername]

But if she isn't, please count it out slowly in as much loose change as you can lay your hands on. No silver or gold coins

[ollieplimsoles]

Shit Paul really? Would she usually joke around or does this sound like something she might do?

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

She's not getting a penny if she's being serious! She'll be getting told in a jokey but serious tone that I'm not paying for her meal choices when she's invited my child over.
