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

She won’t be done by 3, she’ll be pissed and just getting started. Fuck!
Hope your sister is so pissed off the answer will always be NO

pavedwithgoodintentions · 13/04/2024 13:06

I'd call an uber with a large car and deliver them to her or their dad. And make it VERY clear that she will never watch them again after yet another massive entitled piss-take.

Backbones needed here!

thisisasurvivor · 13/04/2024 12:08

Would be so tempted

But could it back fire??!!

Could this be the day when we are both adamant that she does not walk over us again?

My sisters knows what she is like

Got stung before when an hour of baby sitting turned a 1am finish she 'lost track of time'

Cheeky cheeky

We have so few family members to help us

She has all grandparents
Sister in laws
Neighbours
Cousins

Or maybe pay an actual childminder

She has the money
She always did

Oh yes!! Absolutely she should. She’s got nothing to lose AT ALL. And she needs to get it done before the cf’s brunch buddies all go their separate ways because you can almost guarantee that cf’s friends will have been tagged in her post so will also get all the (constant…”what, it posted multiple times? So sorry…” blah blah) notifications and this would be so much more shocking and embarrassing for her then it ever could be if she was on her own!! Her friends know. They must do.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 13/04/2024 13:00

She is annoyed but not going to say anything today
She can't commit to taking them again

But she will won't she?

You mentioned that your sister knew what happened to you and had already been stung in the past herself, but then claimed she "can't believe" the one hour turned into a 3pm pickup today, which makes no sense at all

Unless you're actually enjoying getting all wound up about the CFery why not just say no?

dapsnotplimsolls · 13/04/2024 12:58

I'll be amazed if she turns up at 3.

Will keep you updated

What I find fascinating is that in both the case of the OP and the OPs sister, the unwillingness to "upset" the mother. It staggers me that she has that power. OP, your sister has agency here. She has the power. She can do a number of perfectly reasonable things to get the mother to return sooner to pick her children up.

I know

I agree

Re calling social services
They won't care though
It won't meet the threshold will it?
Could always ask for it to be logged?

I'm just to angry to think straight

And yes I agree we lost the power to stop this so many times

Ffs

She's not going to say anything today? FFS. CFer will think it's ok to do it again. And again ...

I agree

And this is where I have made the mistake so many times

Wtf is this all about

Fear of offending ??

She offends me so much

I summer I had her kids quite a bit
One boy who is wonderful but has high needs tested me so badly
He got out of our house and was missing for a few minutes
I was out of control with fear/anxiety

Took days to get over it
He was hiding in shed
But I had so much to do that day
Door was locked and he found key

Why the Fck did i entertain her again
I should have said never ever in a million years

There was always then the odd favour repaid here and there so that 'covered her' cfckery you could say 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😮

KTheGrey · 13/04/2024 12:46

She is an unbelievably CF and I would just have to do all the responses - comment on Instagram, ring restaurant, ring Social Services because my rage would be incandescent at this point.

Unbelievable.

thisisasurvivor · 13/04/2024 12:40

I'm not sure I would have always said we are walk overs

Not always

She seems to wrangle it somehow if that makes sense

But all the advice was so spot on

How the hell cN you leave at 8 for brunch
She prob got hair done

OP posts:
Noshowlomo · 13/04/2024 12:37

Bloody hell this is wild. What a cheeky bitch

KidsandKindness · 13/04/2024 12:25

If you know where she is, then tell your sister to contact the restaurant, and ask the manager to make an announcement that she is needed URGENTLY, as her child has been badly hurt. If she texts to see what's wrong, then don't answer, same if she calls. Then when she gets there say and says 'what's happened, the restaurant says one of the kids has been badly hurt?' At that point your sister can say 'Oh yes, that was a lie, and just about as big a one as you telling me you only needed me to look after your kids for ONE hour! Now fuck off, and don't even think of dumping your kids on me or my sister again'. That should do it OP.

I'm really very tempted to do this

My sister said
No

She is annoyed but not going to say anything today

She can't commit to taking them again

It's the cfckery
It's having to rearrange the day
Having to provide food
The toll it takes after a long busy week of work

Just pay someone
Just be upfront
I need them here from 8 to 3
Be honest
Let people know the score

dapsnotplimsolls · 13/04/2024 12:27

dapsnotplimsolls · 13/04/2024 12:21

Do you know where the brunch is happening? Can your sister ring the place and ask them to tell CFer she needs to get back immediately - outbreak of fedupofthisshititis and kids must be collected asap.

AhNowTed · 13/04/2024 12:16

So he's doing his hobby.

Nobody "farms" one day a week.

Halfemptyhalfling · 13/04/2024 12:13

Can you say I'm struggling financially at the moment so I am working long hours so I will be charging £30 and hour dropping children off with me.

That should put her off or it's a decent earner...

thisisasurvivor · 13/04/2024 12:08

AhNowTed · 13/04/2024 12:07

Where's the husband today?

He is a part time farmer
Saturday is his farming day

He purchased new land recently

😝🙄🙄🙄

No shortage of money clearly

Maybe your sister should post, publicly, on cf's instagram that she needs to stop taking the piss and she's got an hour to get there and pick her child up. Maybe she should "accidentally" make numerous posts...

Would be so tempted

If it was an emergency i get it

Or you have been late to return from work and need help

You have a bloody brunch to attend
Will maybe pay for child care

You can afford a brunch in a lovely setting

We are the mugs clearly

OP posts:
thisisasurvivor · 13/04/2024 11:58

I disagree with you @Testina

CF asked for dogs to go out of house
Kids are scared of dogs

Raining so they are in the large garage
They have beds, food and water in there

It is a CF request that annoys me

Fck sake
