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

Rugger if the daily mail do get hold of it then it won't be pretty!!

Hence me saying it will likely get zapped

GreenTulips · 03/07/2017 20:20

Well OP is off to her mothers so they'd be there along time!

Start posting on FB can't wait to do X on Monday - blah and show her how busy you are

Nocabbageinmyeye · 03/07/2017 20:20

Op just text her " it's late, there is really nothing to discuss so do not call as I am going to the bath/bed. I have been clear by text and you are just not listening to me, nothing will change by calling. You have taken up too much of my time already. Today. Goodnight"

Tazerface · 03/07/2017 20:21

Can't wait for the update OP Grin

not placemarking

Allabitmuchisntit · 03/07/2017 20:21

Make sure your husband speaks to her
IN FUCKING CAPITALS!!!!

You have no idea how much I wish IT was calling round here!

TwinklePops · 03/07/2017 20:21

I've signed up to MN today, literally just because if this thread! I'm palcemarking totally (sorry!) but also not sure if I've followed this well enough, but are we STILL waiting on the coconut to finish her very important post WORK eats and come by?! Or did I miss her saying she wasn't coming now...?!

GreenTulips · 03/07/2017 20:21

OP have you contacted the other friend and let her know what's going on? She's probably raging at her as we speak

TakeMe2Insanity · 03/07/2017 20:21

Re where is she?
Probably scrolling through the 60+ pages on mumsnet not recognising herself!

DerelictWreck · 03/07/2017 20:22

OP Sad I washed my hair super quick and nothing?? How can you be so unreasonable? Gosh I only asked you to do me a favour and post back - everyone knows that means you have to write the whole thing out in detail, using entertaining narrative, before I finish my shower because some of us have to WASH.

I can't believe you think this is ok. And now you're not even answering so you know you're wrong because you don't WASH.

I'm coming round in my towel to sort this out right now.

CaveMum · 03/07/2017 20:22

I've just remembered, a friend of mine was also caught out by a cheeky fecker:

Friend is on mat leave with her second child, another friend of hers with a similar aged child (8 months-ish) got a new job in a local town. She asked friend if there was any chance she could look after her child "for a few hours" while she went to the office to meet her new team.

Of course it transpired that "a few hours" meant 8am-3pm and the meeting with the team was actually taking place 40 miles away. My friend was informed of this 2 days beforehand and felt she couldn't back out at short notice so ended up stuck at home all day with two under-1s.

rightwhine · 03/07/2017 20:22

Hopefully she's realised there is no point coming round.

Wow...this has certainly moved on
Last checked at around 16:00 this afternoon
Had visitors, who have just left...came back to check again ...
Cannot believe she is still planning to come round to discuss
OP, under NO circumstances should you even think about providing any sort of childcare for her, particularly now she has been abusive in her texts sent to you

ZaZathecat · 03/07/2017 20:23

Still waiting Twinkle, but I don't think she's gonna come.

I bet she will come round when she thinks your husband won't be home. When she should in fact be using her time to arrange child care (if they need it. I personally don't think they do, given what has been said).

Don't be browbeaten, OP. Stand your ground!

frieda909 · 03/07/2017 20:23

The WORK part is hands down the most infuriating part of this! I'm not a mum but out of spending all day WORKing on a reception desk vs looking after a toddler and 8 year old, I think I know which sounds like harder WORK!

Do NOT get in the bath - record the conversation with your DH

Figgygal · 03/07/2017 20:23

What on earth is your husband going to say 😱😱

CaveMum · 03/07/2017 20:24

Excellent Grin
