to not offer to pick up/drop off

[mommy2ash]

I unfortunately don't drive. I attempted to learn but was much too nervous and most likely won't attempt to again.

My dd's friend has been asking to come play at ours for a while. The kids have given us the other mums phone number and asked us to sort out a day, they are nine. I work full time so don't have a lot of free time but this weekend my dd is having another girl over to stay and go bowling. I text the mum saying her dd was more than welcome and gave my address and times to drop her and said the next day she can stay as long as she likes whatever suited.

The mum text back saying her dd would love to come and was excited and said I can pick her up before lunch time on Saturday and drop her back before 12 on Sunday as they are going somewhere.

Once I explained I won't be able to collect or drop off her mum cancelled and said her dd is now very upset.

Now I feel awful but I don't have a car and there isn't a direct bus so would need to take two buses there and two buses home each time. It takes between 10-15 minutes by car.

This mum and her husband both drive.

I thought my original message was clear before she accepted and this mum knows I don't drive. Aibu?

I would avoid her to be honest. She does sound unhinged! I feel sorry for her DD though.

I am just aghast that she gave the lift mother wine and chocolates and blanked you, the actual sleep over mother.

Just - Who the fuck does she think she is?

Fucking poke the crazy. With a red hot poker.

Feel sorry for her daughter, hope you do have her round again if other mum can pick up. Especially if she gets wine and chocolates from a drop off Ps I know a mum like this and her now grown up daughter is nothing like her hence don't let the girl miss out

I sort of see what you mean-it's unfair in the girl, but there's no way I would be having that woman's child again if she was going to treat me like that!

I'm LOL-ing at Doreen's post:

Particularly this bit:

I couldn't resist poking the crazy. I really couldn't. I think you're showing great restraint there OP by not poking the crazy

[Missrubyring]

I'm usually quite a non confrontational person, but in this situation even I would find it very hard to not poke the crazy.
You have great restraint OP.
