Hi all.
Will try to keep short but will most probably end up rambling on!
On the way back from doing school run this morning I bumped into a "friend"?
She said she had to go somewhere and could I pick up her children after school. Said it would only be for an hour or 2 (5pm at latest) and either she would pick them up or her ex would.
She seemed desperate so I said fine. Asked if any problems etc could she let me know. She has my mobile number/house number or could just send a message on face book if needs be.
Anyway I picked all the children up. 4.30 came and kids were all hungry. So I made up ham/cheese sandwiches for them all, grapes,cake. They all tucked in well.
5 came and went with no-one arriving. Their dad finally collected them at 6.25. This was after no communication about being late etc.
So off they went with their dad. Must admit I was annoyed that the arrangement we made was not stuck to and no-one even thought to let me know what was happening.
Carried on doing my usual evening routine of bathing the kids, supper, story and bed.
NOW have just gone onto face book and received a message from my so called friend. Says- "I am disgusted that you did not even bother to give the kids a proper cooked tea. After a hard day I now have had to come back and cook for them. Would have thought it would be common decency to feed children properly if you are looking after them"
No thank you. No sorry for picking them up late. Just abuse about not cooking them any food instead giving sandwiches.
Pissed off is an understatement but also feel hurt.
There was no agreement about cooking tea. I did provide food.
Kids all have hot school dinners so have had a hot meal today.
No complaints from the kids anyway.
They were bloody late picking them up with no contact at all.
AAAAHHHHH So AIBU to feel like a bloody mug????
