Arranged with a mum on Sunday night for ds2s friend to come over for the day today. She was going to drop him off and I would drop him back later.
Ds has been soooo excited!
I had a really busy day yesterday so didn't text to remind/confirm.
Roll on 10am...nothing.
It's now after 11 so I texted I answer
I texted again half an hour later...no answer. I asked if he was still coming so if not we could make other plans.
I just rang the number I have been texting on and the person who answered said "wrong number"
So....
Is it the mum just ignoring me and he child not wanting to come?
Fine...but let me know!
Or is it something else I'm not seeing?
I can't have been texting the wrong person!
Don't know the landline and it's not listed.
Poor Ds is so upset and I don't know what to tell him.
This is after last week my own sister dropping us ike stones when a better offer came along.
Sigh.
AIBU?
I feel like going round the house and knocking on the damn door!
(Don't worry I won't!)

I read threads like this and feel genuinely concerned over the murderous rage upset, I know I will feel for my daughter (14 months) in the future what crap things like this happen.

I know!
You can't believe you would ever feel so upset about something so silly!

Was it a female voice that said "wrong number"??
Maybe she does (like someone said earlier) have a controlling partner?

I had a partner like that before who i was constantly lying to people why i couldnt go places. Almost didnt get to go to my own sisters wedding because of him

Mjingaxx · 11/08/2016 11:48

Another truly bizarre thread. Why on earth would your assumption be that she is a bitch???

Why DONT you go round the house and find out what is happening??

Badders123 · 11/08/2016 11:49

Well.
Lesson learned I guess....
Ds1 is being so good bless him :)

Badders123 · 11/08/2016 11:51

Jaxx..I think that would be a step too far?
I don't want to harass the woman in her own home!
She is at work...another reason I didn't phone straight away.
I can't decide whether it sounded like her or not....hmmm.
Anyway.
Thanks for the replies - Ds will get over it and I know not to invite him again.
But...yeah.
It's weird.

Maybe you were texting the wrong number all along and they were just leading you on?

rainbowstardrops · 11/08/2016 11:52

How odd?! Hope you get to the bottom of it OP.

Badders123 · 11/08/2016 11:53

Mrs...yes it was a female voice.

OP posts:
Badders123 · 11/08/2016 11:54

Smelly...blimey...does that happen?
I don't think so...I know she works and the text did mention that so I'm pretty sure they were legit.
It's just so.....odd.
So glad so many of you agree!
Couldn't decide if I was over thinking it too much!

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 11/08/2016 11:55

Hmm... was it a woman who said "wrong number"? Did they say anything else? When did you last have a text from her on that number?

I wonder if she used someone else's phone, and you're now disturbing someone at work fairly regularly (understandably for you, but annoying for them) hence the shortness when you called.

Badders123 · 11/08/2016 11:58

It was a woman, yes.
I know...I really didn't want to phone but Ds was getting so upset and no answers to my texts...
It's just weird.

Silly question,but are you totally sure when you rang it was the correct number?
I'm think if you probably just used your phone contact, but just wanted to check.
I'm really sorry for you both. It shouldn't be a big deal , but it somehow it always is.

*l'm thinking

Badders123 · 11/08/2016 12:05

I rang the number that I'd been texting which is in my contacts.
I know what you mean...it seems such a waste of time worrying about this stuff but you inevitably do!
Thanks all

IceRoadDucker · 11/08/2016 12:08

YABU to assume she's a bitch! I would be worrying that she was sitting at home equally annoyed that you hadn't turned up.

You really need to attempt to contact her through some other means before writing her off...

Benedikte2 · 11/08/2016 12:11

Do let us know the outcome Badders when you finally know

Badders123 · 11/08/2016 12:12

Ice road...please read the thread.
She was dropping her son off. I was talking him back. She is at work.
It want me who called her a bitch, either.
I will update you if I ever find out what happened!

OP posts:
Badders123 · 11/08/2016 12:14

....and have no other means aside from turning up at her door...which I would not do!
which you would also know if you had read the thread

MiddleClassProblem · 11/08/2016 12:18

Have you tried ringing again? I've had crossed lines before (creepy shit!)

Badders123 · 11/08/2016 12:20

I dont want to harass her if she doesn't want her son to come.
What other reason could there be?
Would my mobile company be able to tell me is the texts came from the phone number I rang?

OP posts:
Mjingaxx · 11/08/2016 12:22

Knocking at someone's door to see if they are ok/why they didn't turn up for arranged day/why there phone is not working anymore, is not harrassing that person

You are very strange OP

Mjingaxx · 11/08/2016 12:23

It is you that is not approaching this in an adult way

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 11/08/2016 12:26

So maybe she's in work and has left her phone somewhere and someone else has picked it up by mistake and that's why they said wrong number?
