Ok so she sent me a few more messages about how they just assumed I knew what they needed and didn't think they needed to spell it out for me! Saying that they do not know how they are expected to pay for childcare that they hadn't budgeted for as they was relying on me to provide it. And I shouldn't of said I could help if I wasn't willing to do so.

I've not replied to any messages

NO MERCY!

I love the thought of a madwoman on some random reception furiously jabbing at her iwatch

MrsHathaway · 03/07/2017 19:45

When I type w o r k now it comes out as WORKzilla automatically so it could well be that her iPhone is automatically capitalising.

elevenclips · 03/07/2017 19:46

Personally I would send her a text saying:

I am not willing to provide childcare for you. Please do not send me any more messages.

In case you need to report for harassment/any other stupidity on her part.

Don't be ridiculous, Juicycake.

SomePeopleAreSoCheeky · 03/07/2017 19:46

Far too invested in the outcome of this thread!

Blatant placemark !!!!

RubyRoseRing · 03/07/2017 19:47

I'm losing the battle of the thread. It's moved on about 3 pages when l come back from doing something lMPORTANT like having a PEE.

Madbum · 03/07/2017 19:47

She probably stands at the photocopier sing "work work work work" like she's Rihanna.

Glamorousglitter · 03/07/2017 19:47

Christ on a bike, I can't believe she s actually taking it to this level, she should be apologising for being unclear and vague and making assumptions. I cannot believe she thought you would provide free childcare for her for the summer. Absolutely insane. It s not a new hing her having kids .... like what has she done in the past ?! Whom else has she pissed off? Please don't cave and let her walk all over you. I m so tired of seeing posts from people about how their friends are repeatedly taking advantage of them and then posters on MN giving supportive advice and strategies then OP coming back saying 'but I just had to do what they wanted' ! As they say on MN 'no is a complete sentence'. She s completely audacious and entitled not to mention rude overbearing and bullying. FGS.

PyongyangKipperbang · 03/07/2017 19:47

6:30am is still making me boggle, and yy to why the care until 2pm when husband is home by 10:30?!

My own 15 year old DD asked me for a lift to a DofE activity last weekend at half six in the morning and that was touch and go tbh!

ClareBear1122 · 03/07/2017 19:47

Glad you are staying strong, fam. This woman is quite clearly a bully and expects you to cave! Hope it doesn't affect your day to day too much either when you have to see her x

Madbum · 03/07/2017 19:47

singing

Brenna24 · 03/07/2017 19:48

It is a shame it would be outing to you to just give her the urls to these two threads and tell her to work it out.

MissEliza · 03/07/2017 19:48

So do a few favours = rely on for childcare for the whole summer??! Wtf? Nobody provides free childcare for someone for a whole holiday unless it's a grandparent or an aunt or uncle. Fuck her coming round, I'd be round her house telling her to piss right off.

livefornaps · 03/07/2017 19:48

Baaahaha @madbum

SocksRock · 03/07/2017 19:49

My MIL has agreed to have my 3 for 3 days this summer. I am incredibly grateful and appreciate it immensely. That's how things should work.

I can't wait for the personal visit...

Set up your webcam and point it towards the front door ....

LyndaLaHughes · 03/07/2017 19:49

The brass neck of her. Honestly can't believe it!

Buckinghambae · 03/07/2017 19:49

I couldn't even ask my parents for more than a week of 6:30 starts and that was if I was at absolute desperation point!

TrueLove83 · 03/07/2017 19:49

Shameless placemarking!! OP I would not let her in the house!

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 03/07/2017 19:50

TBF OP what kind of person doesn't know that "a few favours" = a strict 4-hour plan 5 days a week for six weeks?? Maybe it's because you have lost your brain because you don't WORK like she does
