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

Sound?

Nannyplumismymum · 15/07/2014 17:24

Yup that is karma.

Kinda serves you right for being a) judgey and b) bitching about it.

Nobody ever knows what is around the corner... You never know if your DC will embarrass you or behave appallingly .

Bowlersarm · 15/07/2014 17:24

Ooh yes I'd go with Jackies sorry, I didn't intend to hurt your feelings..... text.

I think it's probably best to say something else.

Has the message delivered/been read? You could go over to her house and wrestle her phone from her hand if it hasnt Grin

Oh dear Shock

EverythingCounts · 15/07/2014 17:25

Agree with the 'bad day' advice.

Hand-holds OP

Fragglewump · 15/07/2014 17:26

Bloody hell op I feel sick on your behalf! I would probably move house and change the dcs school as this would stress me out!

Branleuse · 15/07/2014 17:26

thats the risk you take being two faced

Nannyplumismymum · 15/07/2014 17:26

Completely agree with Sanity.

Fanfeckintastic · 15/07/2014 17:26

I wouldn't have had him back for a playdate anyway and I had been fairly honest with his mother as it wasn't the first (or second) time.

I still feel dreadful though because she's a nice woman

Oh dear. Maybe the mother will be (secretly) grateful to know what happened - especially if he only gets asked places once.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 15/07/2014 17:27

It's so easy to do isn't it. (I mean send a text to the wrong person). I'd follow up with an apology text. Does your friend know this mum & child?

Branleuse · 15/07/2014 17:27

the little boys mother is probably feeling a hell of a lot worse than you right now, believe me

GetYourFingersOutOfThere · 15/07/2014 17:28

Oh dear but ha ha Grin maybe she will see it as tongue in cheek and reply back in the same manner

Onesleeptillwembley · 15/07/2014 17:28

Move house, false tache and pretend you don't speak English.
Or apologise for the text whilst stating that the child was a little shit spirited.

306235388 · 15/07/2014 17:28

You've just got to send a message saying you're sorry you were being a twat, please forgive you. Don't try and make excuses etc.

Nannyplumismymum · 15/07/2014 17:28

And yes the poor mum.

You might feel mortified - but she probably feels crushed and tearful .

rootypig · 15/07/2014 17:28

What were you complaining about? Based on your last post, you've probably done her a favour.

Fragglewump · 15/07/2014 17:29

Wine for you op......if play date horrors mum is on here then..... Wine for you too.

Hup · 15/07/2014 17:29

Oh no!

Fanfeckintastic · 15/07/2014 17:31

Do the people who are saying I was being bitchy and two faced really not discuss these things with friends??

I'm not posting the message I sent because so many of you don't seem to understand there was honestly no malice intended other than to give my friend a good laugh!

OutsSelf · 15/07/2014 17:31

Ouch. Apologise OP, that is going to sting her, even if her DS is a horror and she fully knows this. At best she's going to go into a sweary battle with you, at worst she's weeping right now because her kid's a horror and other people don't want him around and she doesn't know what to do.

dottytablecloth · 15/07/2014 17:31

What exactly happened on the play date?

Still waiting to hear the contents of the message! Grin

all you can do is apologise. Dont make excuses. Youve been a cow and admit this has just bit you on the arse. No matter how badly the playdate went, theres no reason to bitch about a little boy like that without even being diplomatic about it, even if that is how you and your friend like to spend your time.
