Oh please help me I'm mortified!! I've just had a play date from HELL and to I went to text my best friend (who would find it hilarious) all about it, outlined everything horrible that he did but I sent it to the little boys mother. I feel like crying.

Is there anyway out of this, I used him name and I ended with "never to return again" Blush

brilliant ending, well done op.

Mintyy · 16/07/2014 09:51

How lovely!

londonrach · 16/07/2014 09:59

What a lovely ending. Have asked mnhq if this one suitable for classics... X

SweetsForMySweet · 16/07/2014 10:11

I'm glad it worked out for both of you. :-)

MyFairyKing · 16/07/2014 10:23

Glad it all went well. You really redeemed yourself. It takes a big person to admit they've done something wrong and then go make a real effort to rectify it. The truth hurts but it is sometimes needed. Seriously though, take heed; you only ever 'discuss' other people in person, never in writing. There are lot of saints on here who apparently never complain about their friends or vent to others. But back in the real world, people do vent about bad playdates, shit dinner parties and so on and so forth.

Numanoid · 16/07/2014 10:25

Sounds like it all turned out for the best. :)

MissDuke · 16/07/2014 10:26

Yeah, well done op! Sounds like you have made a great friend there :-)

shakethetree · 16/07/2014 10:33

Good advice myfairyking. I'm terrible for sending texts, that if received by the wrong person would destroy me.

CarmonEileen · 16/07/2014 10:36

Sequins, No never mentioned by FIL I however mention it often Grin

ChoccaDoobie · 16/07/2014 10:46

Well done Op, that sounds brilliant. It has turned out very positively and I am very happy for you both.

Why don't you believe a word of it queen?

OP took responsibility for her behaviour.

That is neither "fab" nor "fantastic" it's called doing the right thing and being an adult.

If OP had not reached out to the mother it would have been a failing.
She has done nothing more than right the wrong that she did.

Nannyplumismymum · 16/07/2014 10:56

Again there is a big difference between "venting" and using vicious sweary language about a child to somebody else because they would find it amusing.

Off loading is understandable and healthy.

The above is unnecessary and is very shortsighted IMO .

WowserBowser · 16/07/2014 10:57

Jesus Christ.

This is one of those threads that go round and round in circles.

Glad it had a happy outcome op.

Staywithme · 16/07/2014 10:58

nanny

Perhaps you should just stop now as you're starting to come across as a self righteous, bully, constantly criticising the OP. You actually sound as if you're bitching to the OP, which is ironic given the situation.

SauvignonBlanche · 16/07/2014 11:01

Well done OP! Smile

Fanfeckintastic · 16/07/2014 11:04

Nanny I was really shocked reading the replies last night at just how many times you felt the need to pop in with another snipe. The message I sent was my mistake, yes I called him a little shit (to who I thought was my friend) and described the state of the house in a jokey lighthearted way, I feel really awful about it and am still getting a little shudder every time I think of it but I actually think you're acting like more of a bully than I was.

Again I'm just so glad I went around before reading all your comments because I'd have been so afraid I'd be met by the likes of you.

VitoCorleone · 16/07/2014 11:08

Oh well, glad you sorted it OP

Nannyplumismymum · 16/07/2014 11:09

Just because I disagree with the majority that makes me a bully does it?

What's going on here is that the people who disagree are getting bullied.

Will leave you lot and your bitchy ideas and hope that one day you have a wake up call.

WowserBowser · 16/07/2014 11:11

Bye then!

MissDuke · 16/07/2014 11:13

Op, I wouldn't let it worry you, you know you have done the right thing and it is sorted now. Clearly the other mum - who actually saw the text, we didn't - understood where you were coming from. I don't know what nanny hopes to achieve by keeping on and on. She has made her point, why keep on?

I am confident that Nanny's behaviour on this thread has been much worse than anything you were likely to have put in the text - I am basing that on the mum's reaction to the text, let's face it you are unlikely to ever want Nanny to arrive round with wine after her spiteful comments Grin

What did your best friend say when you told her the whole story? Wink

Numanoid · 16/07/2014 11:17

Nanny - Oh come on, we've all done something like this before.

I think rootypig was probably just trying to lighten the situation up, I've seen a few of her posts around this section and they've mostly been quite funny. :)

GrouchyKiwi · 16/07/2014 11:18

Great update, fan. So glad it looks like you've both made a friend out of this. I might be crying.
