fucking bloody child. grerrrrrrrr. bollockingbastardshittybadgerwank. arse. WWYD?e

[SheelaNeGoldGig]

i am tired and tetchy.

I have worked every day for the last 10 days culminating in an absolute shitter of a night shift last night.

I am knackered.

Bloody child has just announced it is doing a starlight charity walk tonight and will need collctting at about 1am.

I am in serious need of wine.

My options...

A. Give her the car keys and a quick driving lesson.

B. Tell her she will have to walk home.

C. Go and pick her up.

Bollocks.

Who else is going? Can she get a lift with another parent?

D. Book her a taxi

Taxi?

can you arrange a cab to collect her?

a friend?

go in a cab yourself and collect her - then you can have a glass to relax too?

is she ok to walk? i mean does she feel confident to?

E. Sleepover at house of someone she is walking with?

I would arrange a taxi for her

Live in the 1870s rural hicksville. No taxis.

Why the actual bloody hell would anyone thonk a charity walk would be best done at night? Why not do it in daylight? Nobbers.

I'm going to suggest taxi as well.

Could DP/Dh not go?

Who is your DD walking with? Maybe they could drop her back home?

YADefNBU.

And nobody living close by to scroung a lift.

x post with the taxi.

If the worst comes to the worst I would suggests that she cancels it.
I knw, mean and selfish some may shout, but when you have done night shifts like that you seriously need to decompress.

DH is stronger and more selfish than I am and is able to say no.

And also did the picking up last week.

She also needs to do it (part of schopl good deeds for charidee stuff)

I need to just shuttup and do it.

Seriously I would be making a donation to Starlight in lieu of DD attendence and then hitting the vino!!

Ah, but was it at 1am? And has he been working for ten days straight? I think not.

Knock back wine now although I'd go with vodka follow it up with equal water. Crash out within the hour. Set alarm for 12:45.

It's the same as going on a night out, returning at 3 or 4 and then getting up at 7 and going to work.

Leave the remainder of the wine chilling or with some chocolate for your return.

Maybe he did do it last week but has he worked as many days as you?

And phone for a taxi, doesn't matter where you live.

I might be tempted to say no, as DC hadn't told you about it (presumably).

Though reading that back sounds a bit harsh.

Doesn't DH realise you are knackered and in need of wine an early night?

Did you know about it before now. If not then she's not doing it tonight. She should be giving you notice of these things.

I really do need to learn to say no. My guilt and inability is starting to really piss me off.

You can get taxis anywhere nowadays.

I am with the no notice, not happening!

and she can throw herself on her father's mercy.

She claims she did tell me. I quite possibly said 'yes dear' and then instantly forgot.

DH is also now pissing me off. Selfish bastard.

ruby I seriously hope you are joking ...

No taxis here lucie. Not unless you book a year in advance and pay £150 for it. Really.
