I've read the entire 3 threads. Omfg the cheek of that woman! I wonder if she's so persistent in all areas of her life. How much does anyone want to bet her husband was forced down the aisle?
Fam you've been amazing. Keep saying no! You've got the bug now- fuck those people who try and take advantage of you.

This is amazing!

In all seriousness I'm so glad that people are generally not believing her. I have had a bit of a situation lately (nothing nearly so batshit crazy hilarious) and it's really helped that it turned out loads of other people already knew what she was like.

How is the perfectly timed vomiting one doing today Op? I wouldn't worry about the playground gossips I'm sure she has done this to enough people so they know what she's like. However perhaps one of them who is lapping it up will help her out and find out what she is like.

Fam you need to get a t shirt printed that states:

The odd favour DOES NOT EQUAL 6 weeks of full time child care.

Wear it around the school playground and folk will soon start to chuckle

Yay Fam! Glad you've been vindicated.

Also, which of you vipers called me a 'spiteful bully' back on page 27 for sticking up for the OP?

Well done fam
I've had similar happen to me and was stuck with neighbours kids for a week but my oh has helped me in putting my big girl knickers on and I got myself out of it.
She's next door and we don't speak 😃 which is for the best.

Great result Fem. Glad all this MNHQ stuff has been sorted.

I never understand why people want to troll but I understand less why people think that they can be the self appointed troll hunter police.

"But why on earth would I have agreed to look after her kids every morning for six weeks?". Repeat in an incredulous tone every time the subject comes up....

She sounds like a nasty piece of work, to be honest. The more I think about it, the more I think they set out to bully you into this. Nobody - nobody - can think "I may need a few favours" equates to your agreeing to six weeks of childcare.

Oh it's so hard if you are not good at saying no isn't it, worse when neighbours as they can spy if you are home.

Yes she's really cheeky! But no one has offered her child care yet Grin apparently she was acting quite desperate at pic up!

Tomorrow will be interesting!

You will find that saying "no" is easy from now on. Once I did it to a total pisstaker, I was able to do it with ease. "Pax, could you do XYZ for me please?" I ask myself is it a) fun, b) beneficial for me/ my family, c) my job anyway, d) no big deal, e) good for the future (mutual childcare etc)? A-E all no? Next step: am I being super- helpful to someone in need? Yes? Next step: Do I want to help them? Yes? Next step: Would they do it for me or others? Yes? Do it. Any no to the last three? Sorry, can't do it.

She's quite clever really isn't she?!

She sounds thick as two short planks to me. Let's say I was planning on guilt tripping someone into looking after my children. I know she won't agree to what I want so I get her to agree to some hazy 'occasional favour' with the intention of putting her right on the spot on the day so she doesn't feel she can say no when she sees what I've really got planned, and no time to rearrange.

Well, if that was my cunning plan, I would have to be thick as absolute shit to start telling a load of mutual acquaintances that she would be having them for weeks on end. The whole plan relies on her not knowing what she's agreed to and not being able to back out until it's too late. Surely it's obvious that it will somehow get back to her and she's more likely to tell me to get to fuck when I've still got some time and she's not put on the spot like I had planned.

Plus, if she were that smart she would realise that as she works in a waiting room, the kids could just join her while she's at WORK, and read or play games or go on the iPad until it's home time. I seriously can't see why that's not a solution.

Delighted that Fam has been reinstated!!

I hope that the self-satisfied, rent-a-pitchfork mob have finally got the message that most MNers don't want our fun spoilt, just so they can play the clever dick who spotted a troll.

A. You need to start a fourth thread; you have been vindicated AND wildly entertaining. So you must.

B. You need to forward her texts on to every parent you know, or, if not possible, as someone said, take pics of them and post them. Say you've had to do it because she is now making up wild promises and stories about you, and you don't want her showing up on your doorstep again.

C. Alternatively, just put the link to these FOUR threads (remember, new thread!) on your facebook page, and then change your user name for all future posts. That will learn her and educate the others if they're slow on the uptake about her.

I believe you OP. Today I was asked by a dad at nursery who I've NEVER spoken to and didn't even know his/his child's name if I would look after his (assume 3 or 4 year old?) for "the next 3 Friday' afternoons" as he's got a new job and no childcare.

Through his car window in nursery car park..

He then called me sweetheart.

I'm literally a stranger to his kid and when I asked DD (3) if she was friends with this child she said no. And no I'm not a childminder..

Life is stranger than fiction..
