AIBU to be cross?

im ill. ive been ill for the last 3 days and have an appt in out of hours in an hour.
Im a lone parent, house is a mess, no food in, cant hardly make it off the sofa.

DD was meant to be having a friend over tonight nad we were looking after her tomorrow. I called the mum and said yesterday that i might have to cancel, and this morning i have cancelled. She hasnt replied to my text at all.

But instead posted on fb about how shes childfree tonight and whats shes doing.

WTF?

vintage, wishing you well.

I've had laryngitis several times, the only way you're going to get better is to do nothing and to talk as little as possible. Especially try not to strain your vocal cords, really hard I know. Try some toast if you can, I find it helps scrape the yucky stuff off. Gross I know!

As for the "friend", well that's not a friend!

Well she's turned out to be a total walker hasn't she? She should be popping over with flowers and lemsip and offering to help you with childcare, not trying to use you for free babysitting and then passagging all over FB. Cheeky bitch.

Get well soon Flowers Forget about her and today and concentrate on getting lots of rest so you can heal. Flowers

NoStrange · 15/02/2015 20:30

Wish you better, OP. Sorry you have had such a hard time of it on this thread.

To be honest, I dont like the sound of your 'friend'. She sounds selfish and uncaring. If you were my friend I'd have dropped you home, made you a cuppa and sent you to bed, not tried to dump my kid on you so I could go out!!!

Coumarin · 15/02/2015 20:31

*wanker not walker. Wanker.

vintagecrap · 15/02/2015 20:34

If she were a walker I could just use some daryl Dixon techniques on her!

Look after yourself op. ThanksThanks

CrapBag · 15/02/2015 22:01

Wow, just read this thread.

Glad you aren't burdened with her dd anymore OP and at least you have seen what a user she is. I hate passive aggressive shite on Facebook. Has she even cancelled tomorrow with you yet? I'd have to comment "I take it, in light of my chest infection, flu and laryngitis that you did manage to find alternative childcare? " I'd not be able to resist letting others know what a cow she is.

mindthegap79 · 15/02/2015 22:44

Get well soon OP Flowers

MojaveWanderer123 · 15/02/2015 22:48

Ah well op she's shown her true colours and you now know not to bother with her anymore.

Get well soon OP.

CrispyFern · 15/02/2015 23:03

Why was everyone being so rude earlier?!

Get well soon vintage.
Ignore the haterz.

Keep up the fluids, I didn't because of the pain and it made things worse to the point of ending up dehydrated and on a drip, didn't make the same mistake last time! Force the fluids down you!!

Hope the antibiotics & other stuff in your bag of medicines kick in soon

Agree with PP, not only should she not have expected you to still look after child but she should have been offering to take your DD or include her in whatever alternative babysitting plans she got in the end! As for the Facebook stuff? I hate people like that, I would be clicking unfriend or at very least unfollow

Adarajames · 16/02/2015 00:04

Poor you, hope you feel better rap duly once drugs start to work. Are any of us near enough to you to do a bit of shopping on your behalf if you still need things? Or pop into health store and pick you up some echinacea an such? I'd also reccomend sambucol (black elderberry) for the flu, and sage tea to gargle or drink is great for improving horrid throat things

Adarajames · 16/02/2015 00:09

Rap duly?! Quickly it should say! Bloody iPhone corrections to nonsense!

Totally agree, 'if you can't beat them join them', i.e. give her the same passive aggressive stuff right back.

Hope you feel better soon, sounds like a rotten dose. Flowers

vintagecrap · 16/02/2015 07:59

I don't usually use social media like that, instead ill winge on here!
But I might do a status later thanking everyone who has offered help as it's so difficult when you are on your own. Ham it up a bit.

Have heard nothing from her since I went round. No text. No reply to the message I left on fb under her one saying she was so thankful to others for helping her. Nothing.

However someone has just been dumped and she's posting on there saying if they need anything just ask.

Not a friend. Just a reminder to me that she is not a friend.

She sounds awful vintage. At least you are now forearmed and know how entitled and unkind she can be. I hope you soon meet nicer people in the area - meanwhile drink insane amounts of fluids and get well

Florabeebaby · 16/02/2015 08:21

No, she is not a friend.

Get well soon OP.

Adarajames · 16/02/2015 19:55

Hope you're starting to feel bit better now you've had first few doses of the antibiotics Flowers
