DS is at a friend's house for a sleepover. The mother just text me to say he's been great, they've had a great time and they had a Chinese for dinner, so I can give her the money for his meal 'tomorrow, or whenever I have it.'

She must be joking right?

Some people here are so melodramatic! Stop my son from going there? Eh no, It's his best friend's house. Even if I fell out with the mum I wouldn't stop him from playing with his friend. In any case, she didn't mention anything about it. I'm sticking with it being a joke and not thinking anymore about it. She's usually a lovely woman who is incredibly kind, so even if she was being serious I'd give her the benefit of the doubt and call it a lapse in judgment.

Can't believe you're not prepared to go NC on this Paul, you're a terrible parent. Wink

Don't cheapen yourself. Give her the money without comment, and be grateful that you yourself aren't so ill-mannered and socially inept as she would appear to be.

If you feel petty, then ruin your child's friendship by telling him he can't have her child over for dinner any more. If on the other hand you feel you've got the generosity of spirit, let things continue as normal, but also when you give her the money for the Chinese, do say you'd prefer she didn't do takeaway when she has your child, as you don't think it agrees with him.

In exchange...You can ask her to pay for the cholesterol lowering treatment that SHE is going to pay for your kid because she fed him a Chinese!! That's so unhealthy!

Flumpsnlumpsnstuff · 29/05/2016 21:36

Paul I couldn't resist, just don't de-nit him when he's there next and charge her for the hedrin Grin

(In case you don't: I'm also a Chinese guzzler. My poor, neglected child had Chinese food two days in a row!)

She's gaslighting you.

Get yourself and your child out of this toxic situation now.

Shamelessly Place marking Grin three days late.

Flumpsnlumpsnstuff · 29/05/2016 22:13

Paul I can't believe you fed your child take away twice ! You should still be bf until they are at least 20 ! It's the only way Grin

WorraLiberty · 29/05/2016 22:20

I have serious doubts about this OP, as she hasn't updated for nearly half an hour.

Also, I've PM'd her my special Mumsnet telephone number and as she hasn't rang me, that proves she's not genuine Hmm

PaulAnkaTheDog · 29/05/2016 22:22

Gah! I've been rumbled...

I nearly spat as much tea out then Worra as I did when I first read about the mobile kept especially for MN Grin

WorraLiberty · 29/05/2016 22:35

That was hands down the weirdest thing I ever read on Mumsnet, Chipped and god knows there's been some worthy contenders! Grin

Chippednailvarnishing · 29/05/2016 22:42

I'm just jealous as if I was tragic enough to go to the trouble of buying a phone just for MN, no bugger would call me Grin

Or it would be yoni massage bloke!

WorraLiberty · 29/05/2016 22:43

Or Jeffrey Grin

Chippednailvarnishing · 29/05/2016 22:46

Nah, I'd get Scottish mummy or Gordon Brown giving me his biscuit selection.

StealthPolarBear · 29/05/2016 22:49

Could someone tell me about the mn mobile?

PaulAnkaTheDog · 29/05/2016 22:57

Wait!!! The phone thing us real?!

OP posts:
WorraLiberty · 29/05/2016 23:00

Yep it's real!

Stealth, there was some question as to whether an OP in Relationships was real a little while back.

Someone said that she had a special phone just to ring Mumsnetters and 'help' them, but as the OP hadn't dialled the number she'd PM'd, she doubted she was genuine Confused

Slightly over invested much?

Chippednailvarnishing · 29/05/2016 23:04

I'm just jealous!

Mandp76 · 30/05/2016 00:51

Chipped I'm just jealous that you have a yoni massage bloke!
