WORKzilla 2

[famtastic]

Done a new thread as couldn't reply. Can't believe this is the 3rd thread lol.

I know I shouldn't laugh but ds vomiting like that was hilarious and so well times I've given him £10!

Just block her number now. Then no more drama. If she turns up don't answer the door.

Bet you she has form for this. Probably a lot more will come out about her behaviour once people realise you've stood up to her.

They sound like low level con men/women. Not after money but sucking favours out of others for their own gain.

I think in response to the Disney comment I would have said 'since when do your problems become my problems?' Or I hope you have insurance

Ok which mntters are ops neighbours. Im betting their lurkers!! Op im vvvvv impressed. Your ds needs to get into acting as his timing is spot on!!!

Well done Fam, your dh and your son and well done that now your friend might have the courage to step up and say no. Cheeky bastards.

A 10yo and 14yo can look after themselves for 4 hours in a morning. I'm quite sure they both know how to use a telephone to get in contact with anyone if there is a problem.

I'd have been mortified at 14 if my mum made me get up at 6am to go to someone's house to watch me for 4 hours.

I wouldn't have even been out of bed at 10.30am.

Bloody fantastic update OP!

I hope that's the last you hear of it but feel that it won't be!
My bed is definitely now calling me

Calling social services tickled me! Good work there WORKzilla

When you put it like that paxillin, this is kind of like the free childcare equivalent of an MLM.

Anyone else keep expecting the neighbours to post?

I nearly got snared by one of those. She didn't WORK but liked a sleep in. As I had to pass her house on the way to school I may as well pick her daughter up too ? And I did a couple of times - until I was suddenly ( and dramatically) hospitalised and found out that all the mums had organised a rota to help out dh - and she refused point blank to help , as my being unavailable was a huge problem to HER.

Fabulous update OP

And yes, please can the neighbours identify themselves

No according to her I should of understood what a few favours mean... I've been very clear with her all day.

She is desperate - she's planned to use all her annual leave and money for a holiday - not for the care of her children over the summer break!

She wants someone else to pick up the pieces.
She either needs to pay or take unpaid leave like the rest of us who work have to.

I hope she does ring Social Services, I'm sure they could do with the lolz.

You just know she's going into meltdown on faceache and all her mates are quietly clicking on the don't show Workzilla's feed button.

She's going to be bad mouthing you to anyone who will listen tomorrow.

Make sure you are very clear that you will not be having her children (even on the Monday that had sort of been arranged) because, otherwise, we can expect another thread on 17th when she turns up at 6.30am.

Well done DS but I hope he feels better soon.
My holiday childcare is organised with military precision, we both work and we have twins. I couldn't dump them on a casual acquaintance for 6 months!!

Embarrassed - playing devils advocate and for one minute pretending I don't think she's a chancer after 'favours' - even if WORKlady did get it wrong, is this really the way any sane person would go about having this conversation? She's asking op a favour. A huge fucking favour. So the way to do that is bully and accuse her of all sorts?! She knows she's in the wrong - she's pulling every trick out of the bag to get her own way. Anger, coming over to intimidate with husband when she thought ops DH was out, and then tears. But no apologies I note...

If this is true, it's nuts. Why does she even need childcare?

When I worked my then 12yo stayed at home by himself in the holidays.

I hope you and DH are having a large glass of something now.

Sorry, 6 weeks

Well this was all very dramatic, I especially liked her comment about ss, given that her kids where probably left home alone whilst she tried to emotionally manipulate you.

Practise saying loudly "Disneyland! You want me to be a FREE childminder for you for 6 weeks from 6.30am so you can afford to go to Disneyland! You are the most ridiculous person I have ever met!"

You don't have to say anything else. Repeat loudly. The more people who hear the better. No-one will give them free anything ever again.

She's a knobhead Fam. With a brass neck like a giraffe

I bet she tries to get you to pay for the shoes.
