I don't get why this is so unbelievable.

I've certainly found as a SAHM many people think your time has no value.

I'm usually quite good at avoiding such situation but I have been ambushed - people turning up on door step.

I spent 6 months saying no to walking another 11 year old to secondary - I couldn't take my own as would make my primary school children late. Plus at secondary they should be able to wlak in by themselves. The mother was a SAMH in that case but had like me a younger child to get to primary so couldn't walk their DD in.

Girls arranged to meet first day - first day a series of frantic phone calls from other girl not allowed to leave till we picked her up. Couldn't do it - would add 20 min to my DD walk in and made my younger children half an hour late for school. Phone call started to other girl they’d arrange to meet - ended up three very upset stressed 11 year olds. In end other mother dropped by car on way to rearranged work other two 11 year old at mine so they could walk in and her youngest who went to same primary – as she now didn’t have time to get there. Having disrupted two other families’ mornings other mother acted like the one put out and tried it again and got very short shrift.

Another child has been told to walk home with me – mother has never even said hello to me. I had to give my head a wobble as child gets miffed if mine leave early or do late clubs or I have to go to office for my children . I realised was changing my plans – and had to think wtf am I doing I’ve agreed to nothing.

Honestly Op IME avoid them - they won't change.

It's completely and utterly unbelievable. That's why it's true. Grin

Well done MNHQ.

That's why it's true.

Errrm, I'm not sure that MNHQ have said that, exactly. I would actually say they have tactfully stopped short. But, as you were.

How do you know that you're right though, Lions ? MNHQ zapping the thread isn't proof, they've deleted real threads before because enough people reported them that they felt there had to be some fire to cause the smoke.

The only person who truly knows if it's real or not is Fam/user. She says she is. I think it's extreme arrogance to say she isn't without proof.

Thanks mnhq for keeping the threads. Another vote for classics.

Shame on you nonbelievers.

Just this morning on my way to take ds to nursery a family tried to dump their child on me because they're 'busy'. Too busy to take your three year old on the two mile trip to nursery?! A three year old who doesn't know me and doesn't speak English? Thanks to this thread I laughed and said very funny, keep him home then. Never spoken a day to me in two years then realise cause you move that I do the same route and think you've got it made. I don't think so somehow!

Chancers this feckin lot of 'em

How do you know that you're right though, Lions ?

I can only go by what MNHQ say. - if MNHQ say OP is real then that's fine by me. They have access to info that I don't.

I've requested that my other posts be deleted 'at my request' . I see that one has been deleted for breaking MNHQ terms and conditions which seems a bit harsh as it was posted AFTER MNHQ had said that the OP was a troll and they were deleting the thread but BEFORE they changed there minds and confirmed that the OP was legit.

I always believed you. No need for anyone to be rude or abusive, if you don't believe then you don't have to write anything do you? Stay strong OP, and make sure you are vocal about the truth on the playground.

#famforthewin
A family member I know is almost as entitled as WORKzilla. The whole of the family have to rush to her childcare needs. She drops her 2 yr old off to GM at 8am finishes work at 3 and will then sit in GM'S house until 9pm every night. She expects lunch and dinner to be provided for dd and dinner for herself. GM works so other family members are guilted in to helping but always at GM'S house. Days she is not working she turns up at GM'S at 10am, the rest is the same. The worst part is she has never paid a fucking penny and constantly moans how tired she is, how skint she is. She pays for almost nothing ever.
And the icing on the cake we often find out her DP is at home in bed while one of us has their kid! Shock

Phew glad I got that off my chest, well done if you actually read all of that.

Wow Pringles that's entitled behaviour at its best (worst?). I found DSis exP in bed one night while I was babysitting DN. That was the last time I babysat at hers.

Come back Fam. I don't think you need to prove yourself. I think a lot of people know a WORKzilla.
