Workzilla update..

[famtastic]

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

It's 7!!! Has she knocked yet?

Wow, she is actually crazy! Shamelessly placemarking
Well done OP though, standing up for yourself against these kind of people isn't the easiest job especially with anxiety!

What a crazy lady

Words fail me. You have done the right thing Op. She takes cheeky to a new level.

Report it then, bigapple

just read the last thread bloody hell!!

I.mentioned last year that I might ask you to look after my six children - will drop them off at yours Monday at 5:30 am until 7 pm ditto weds Thurs Fri. Just for the end of time. You don't mind do you Hun? Unpaid of course ........

I can believe its real. Entitled people aren't rare - they're the people that leave their dog poo bags strung up on trees, park very badly in car parks and take up two spaces, let their toddler run riot over other children at soft play and ignore little Gulliver beating seven bells out of another kid. Why should it come as any surprise that they are entitled when it comes to childcare.

One of my siblings is a SAHP. The number of 'new friends' that want extended playdates (unaccompanied - natch) and/or mid-week sleepovers suddenly crawl out of the woodwork in the holidays - especially at this time of year - is unbelievable.

Unbelievable

Thank god you found out now OP instead of the morning she expected you to start!

Sorry but I wouldn't take Sonnet's advice. There has been no misunderstanding and you are NOT sorry that you can't provide them with free childcare. If they hear the words, 'misunderstanding' and 'sorry' they will only get more rude and aggressive as they try to browbeat you into doing what they want. The relationship is ruined anyway, fuck them right off and call them out for the piss taking bastards that they are.

She still plans on coming over, to do what bully you into minding her kids??? She's like a bull in a China shop, how does she possibly think this will work.

You're lucky op that this is the tactic she's decided to use imagine how much harder it'd be if she'd gone for apologies and manipulation.

Just read all this and the original thread; I'm agog and my kids are hungry....oops! 😆

I don't think she will turn up no one is that shameless surely.

It's people who can't be bothered. They're just lazy. On top of this, they think other people are just better at/ enjoy the stuff they don't want to do. Put the two things together, it just makes sense that other people should do their grunt work and boom - you get entitlement.

ok I'm placemarking!

As amusing some of these replies are, don't bother, if she's not realised yet, nothing you can say will change that.

Make sure other Mums at school are aware, there's a good chance she's going to be on the look out for another victim, and they might get the "just a few days as I've been badly let down at the last minute" sob story, which turns into the cheeky fecker Mum never sorting out an alternative arrangement and next victim Mum being dumped with this for the whole 6 weeks.

I like your dh's attitude.

Sorry I totally caved in but I'm only doing 3 days a week now...

.....Only joking wonder how much grief I get for that comment lol, she hasn't showed up yet.

Blatant placemark. Sorry not sorry.

Fuuuuuuuuucking hellllllll what a thread!

What a brass neck!

This is better than Shakespeare

Gosh OP you made me rage at my screen for a nanosecond!

I was about to hunt you down and hit you hard reading your first sentence

I nearly believed you!
