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

Oh blimey, she's on her way. The suspense is killing me.....

AHobbyaweek · 03/07/2017 20:24

Please, please record! Or we will insist on a diagram with drawings of all involved.

wheretoyougonow · 03/07/2017 20:24

Please point out to her that she can take time off WORK to look after her own children. Or charge her. Double rate for the 14 year old.

This has got to be a candidate for a place in 'classics' :)

Let battle commence! I'll be refreshing!

WORKzilla is on the move, I repeat, WORKzilla is on the move!

MaisyPops · 03/07/2017 20:25

Notice she said she's coming round at 7 but turns up at 8:25.

Talk about metaphorically cock waving. It's almost like she's trying to prove how busy she is.

Chilver · 03/07/2017 20:25

The suspense is killing me!!! Refresh, refresh, refresh....

Allabitmuchisntit · 03/07/2017 20:25

Ask her to take some days off WORK to look after your kids.

Serialweightwatcher · 03/07/2017 20:25

It never fails to amaze me how people can just assume others will look after their kids for nothing, as a favour like this - okay, maybe a one off when it's an emergency or people doing it between them to help each other out, but this bloody hell!!! What an entitled, rude, stupid bitch to assume you have 'free' time so it won't be a problem - she must be a total lunatic to even consider this is acceptable. You are good though because you've been a lot more polite than you needed to be in the circumstances.

Years ago I met a woman at toddler group and after two meetings, she wanted me to keep her son at ours while she went on holiday - she sounded like your nutcase when she said, he won't be a problem (he was always filthy and snotty and badly behaved surprisingly) .. I laughed, then glared and said 'absolutely no way' - never saw her again funnily enough!

"She's on her way round!!!!" 😲

My expression as I just declared this to my DH.

Questioningeverything · 03/07/2017 20:26

This gonna be goooooood

Bluntness100 · 03/07/2017 20:26

Live updates from the bath is the way to go...,

CoraPirbright · 03/07/2017 20:26

Utterly aghast she is coming round! She really is thick-skinned, isnt she. Simply not hearing the word 'no' fuck off

Please please OP - don't cave. No to the Monday as well as everything else. Tell her that, if she hadn't been so bloody rude then you may well have done the odd favour ie a day here or there but NOT NOW!!

ZombieNation · 03/07/2017 20:26

I've just put on my helmet, ready.

Giddyaunt18 · 03/07/2017 20:26

Just remember OP we are all behind you, invisible, but we are here. Shhhh! She's coming!

Writerwannabe83 · 03/07/2017 20:26

I'm stupidly excited!!

appleberrysoap · 03/07/2017 20:26

I have been following this from about 4pm and omg! This is obscene but so entertaining. I just can't wait to find out what happens when she shows up!
Fam, you are brilliant!

Allabitmuchisntit · 03/07/2017 20:26

I soooooooo want her to see this thread.
Is that wrong?

Treble28 · 03/07/2017 20:26

I can't believe I am making my husband do the IRONING so I can hit refresh and pour a large glass of wine.....

Catsize · 03/07/2017 20:26

Yesssss!! 🙈

JannerBird · 03/07/2017 20:27

I suspect that she has got home from WORK and spoken to her husband. They have realised that neither of them have actually spoken to you. I suspect she is beginning to realise what a cow she had been. I don't think you will see her tonight.
