Very strange situation

Just had a call from a friend, who was distraught after a phone call she’d had from a mum from school. (She’s given me permission to post as we are both baffled).

Last night her daughter had a friend over (they’re 10). She was making burgers for dinner and the friends daughter came in saw what she was making and said she didn’t like them can she have a bowl of super noodles instead. Friend offered her alternatives but she said no she wanted noodles. So she made her two packets of them.

Anyway this morning she’s had a call off the other girls mum saying the child went home saying she was starving- the mum asked if she’d eaten dinner and the child said my friend had made her own two children burgers but told the friend who had come round quite aggressively apparently that there wasn’t enough for her so she would have noodles as only her own children were allowed burgers.

Thankfully my friend has an all day ring doorbell inside to watch her dogs in the kitchen, which also records conversations so she had the full dialogue on film, which she downloaded and sent over to the other child’s mother after the call!

Friend is saying she doesn’t want the child in her house anymore and feels bad for her child as they are friends but I’ve also told her I wouldn’t want her in there either!

My guess would be the child is probably not allowed to have super noodles for dinner as its not exactly a healthy meal - so is blaming your friend rather than tell her mum that's what she asked for.

But yeah the filming is weird. And I wouldn't have her back round.

I wouldn't want my kids in a house where they were being filmed.....

This.

That's way weirder than the noddle issue.

I mean it's not great that a little girl lied, but personally I think not having her in the house again is an overreaction. She's a ten year old, they make mistakes.

mountain out of a molehill.
I wouldn’t be that involved tbh . All seems very dramatic reactions.

How utterly bizarre, although preteen kids can sometimes say weird stuff for drama/attention. What was the mum's response to the video? I wouldn't want her back either if she was making up lies like that.
