So, DSD has had a friend over (both 12 nearly 13) Friend is very sweet and welcome. Stayed Wed night and was due to go home at 6 yesterday. I had assumed her Dm/df would pick her up, so was a bit surprised when I asked if mum was coming before or after I had fed them. Imagine my surprise when she said ' oh mummy doesn't drive and daddy works overseas, I'll need a lift ð??³....anyway DSD then asked if friend could stay another night. No skin off my nose as already have 7 kids here, one more not a problem. So she stayed, but no word from mother asking me if it was ok, just text message from daughter to her asking permission. Ten minutes ago, friend announces her DM has called her and that she has to be home by 2 pm as grandparents are coming over.... Is it me ? I mean, in my shoes would you not have thought it more appropriate for her mother to call me and ask 'if I would mind' or is it convenient... I have looked after her daughter for three days and she hasn't so much as picked the bloody phone up and said hello ! Or am I being a bit old fashioned and unreasonable ? Obviously will not say anything to DSD or friend as its not their fault the mother obviously has no manners !to add to the general vent, eldest dd has borrowed the car to go have lunch with a friend, which she now has to leave early so that I can get this young lady home..
