I had a work trip on mon and Tue

Tue was a 12 hour day and was up since 4 working

My friend text at 9.30pm to let me know she needed to drop her soon uo at 8am
The next fcking day to be looked after

I text back that I was not even home yet

She didn't respond

7.40am next day knock on door
She dropped her son off

I was so angry/tired/ bewildered to go bat shit

SHE DIDNT TEXT AFTER TO EVEN SAY SORRY OR TO THANK me

I'm so done with letting this shit happen

Sorry I just need to vent

Next time she asks I need a firm response

No doesn't seem to work as she has been known to come up anyway and say she has no one

I'm a single parent and I work from home

She has dropped her kids to me many times while I work from home

Fcking cheek

She has many sister in laws who can step in wt f is she still as this utter shit

You didn't actually say that you couldn't do it, just that your plane was on the tarmac. Next time the answer is "sorry, I am not able to look after them tomorrow." Then you don't answer the door.

I am so sorry. Don't answer the door. She's a cheeky cu**.

You need to say no. She made an unreasonable ask, you responded with a travel update.

Say no next time.

Tell her now not to ask again

My response was

I am still on the tarmac the plane has not taken off

I'm not home yet

That's all I said

She did not respond.

She sent him less than 12 hours later

She gave less than 12 hours notice

Why did you answer the door??

Howaboutthats · 29/03/2024 20:45

Don't answer the door. Block her number.

Just to add she can also pay for childcare but chooses not to

She and HER HUSBAND work full time

I'm a single parent

I clearly have MUG all over my face at this stage

I just can not get over the cheeky Fckers around

If you don't want this arrangement then you need to communicate. It's happening because you've allowed it.
