To not have DD's best friend for a sleepover tonight?

She's a lovely girl and she normally stays when she spends the day with us. I made it v clear when I messaged her mum with the invitation to bowling/cinema/dinner that I would be dropping her home on the way back.

Have hardly seen DH all week, DS also been away for two days and due back this evening so I really just want a night with just us. She really is a lovely girl but has quite significant medical needs - which I'm fine with and can deal with - so it's not a time to relax if you know what I mean. Her mum has just messaged me to say that she has forgotten her overnight bag and can I pick it up on my way past.

I feel a bit shit saying 'not tonight', but I'm tired, I want to have a couple of glasses of wine, relax and watch some shit telly. Am I being a horrible cow?

Awaiting update OP Halloween Grin

Don't feel guilty. It sounds like she's chancing her arm.

DinnerIsDrivingMeBONKERS · 28/10/2016 21:29

She knew and was chancing it!

YouTheCat · 28/10/2016 21:31

How old are the girls?

The mum definitely knows what the original plans were but as the day has gone on she's decided she fancied a night out and so would chance her arm with this nonsense.

Having a child with medical needs is very stressful but you sound like you do plenty to give her a break anyway. Don't feel guilty.

Oh dear hope it went well

TaggieRR · 28/10/2016 21:33

Hope she wasn't out OP!

Babblehag · 28/10/2016 21:35

Cheeky fucking cow!!!

Don't feel bad op, she should be thoroughly ashamed of herself with that massive assumption.

Whats the outcome?

Cluesue · 28/10/2016 21:36

Definitely taking the piss and chancing it

lougle · 28/10/2016 21:37

She's definitely expected to get away with this.

TheImprobableGirl · 28/10/2016 21:37

Op's got on the wine a bit fast Wink

VimFuego101 · 28/10/2016 21:37

What a chancer double check you did actually send the 'no sleepover' text though

3luckystars · 28/10/2016 21:43

She got all wound up after reading this thread, dropped the daughter to the door and belted the mother in the head and kneed her in the stomach.
She fixed her hair and walked off with her head held high.

MrsDc7 · 28/10/2016 21:44

Was so hoping there'd have been an update by the time I read the whole thread

Op, does the mum reciprocate your days out and sleepovers? Ever?

mysistersimone · 28/10/2016 22:39

I hope you're having a nice evening with your family and probably ignoring your phone. I hope you stood your ground too
