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

Yes go in the bath! DH can answer door now

NeedMoreSleepOrSugar · 03/07/2017 20:13

My being is she won't show today but will tomorrow when (she thinks) you've had time to stew and are more likely to cave in

AlmostAJillSandwich · 03/07/2017 20:14

Go for your bath OP, if she turns up, leave her on the doorstep.

SprinkleOfInsanity · 03/07/2017 20:14

Placemarking, sorry. This is the thread that just keeps on giving. Can't wait to hear the next move from her!

Giddyaunt18 · 03/07/2017 20:14

I am so glad mine are at secondary, never have to see another parent!

Questioningeverything · 03/07/2017 20:15

Workzilla is in Maui 😔

rollonthesummer · 03/07/2017 20:15

Go and get in the bath-leave your DH to deal with it!

BigApple11 · 03/07/2017 20:15

@AnnieOnnieMouse yes I am

frieda909 · 03/07/2017 20:15

Laurie are you serious?! That's outrageous (almost as outrageous as this thread, but not quite!)

CigarsofthePharoahs · 03/07/2017 20:15

Mickey - she thought she had! Then was guilt tripped by brass neck mum going on about how she'd cancelled after school club that day and just generally going on and on and on…
Basically my friend is just too nice!
I, however, have resting bitch face. The major advantage of this is that I'm never asked for cheeky favours.
Op, you are a star.

kali110 · 03/07/2017 20:15

Maybe she'll just dump them on you anyway?

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 03/07/2017 20:15

Sorry Laurie I didn't get that at all, who offered the Merlin card and who paid who the £30??

AlmostAJillSandwich · 03/07/2017 20:16

Maybe she has no intention of coming and is just trying to waste your time, thinking something is confirmed and it isn't......

TinselTwins · 03/07/2017 20:16

mickeysminnie From bitter experience they just don't hear/accept "no" - they just railroad and keep on going - it's really scary

Or you think they're a "normie" and give them a "normie no" like: "sorry, I can't, I've got pop round my nans after pick-up and give her her bed bath" - so any normie would read that as a "no way, now fuck off, but nicely!" but a pisstaker replies "Oh that's fine! minibat loves old people anyway, I'll drop round her booster seat tonight so you can drive her there with with you and drop her back to mine after"

diddl · 03/07/2017 20:17

"when (she thinks) you've had time to stew and are more likely to cave in"

And Op's husband isn't there?

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 03/07/2017 20:17

Ah I've just got the Merlin card thing. That's outrageous!

IloveBanff · 03/07/2017 20:17

Maybe she'll just dump them on you anyway?

That's a point. She may try to make it a fait accompli by just leaving them at the OP's at 6.30 am.

mickeysminnie · 03/07/2017 20:17

DAMN, Cigars, I would be apoplectic!!

LaurieFairyCake · 03/07/2017 20:17

Cherry the mum who wanted their kid looking after offered the card and then CHARGED her for it.

chickenowner · 03/07/2017 20:18

I also think that she'll leave her children on the OP's doorstep at 6.30!

Bluntness100 · 03/07/2017 20:18

How long does it take her to eat her dinner ffs?

Op go for your bath let your husband have a shot now.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 03/07/2017 20:18

I need a wee, but I don't want to miss any updates!

CigarsofthePharoahs · 03/07/2017 20:19

I was on her behalf! Several mutual friends were too. Its a good job I don't have my child at the same school.

Hersetta427 · 03/07/2017 20:19

Come on Zilla....where are you??

StealthPolarBear · 03/07/2017 20:20
