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!

What a climax. Thank you op, with special mentions to your DP, DS and, of course, the comedy neighbours.

When social services come round to talk to you, don't forget to tell them that batshit neighbour

• left her kids to come and speak to you
• is dumping her kids with people unknown to them every day over the school holidays
• is taking them out of school in October to go to Disney world

Do hope her vomity shoes don't infect her. How will she WORK?

I hope she isn't using an unauthorised school absence to take her DC on holiday in October, as she may be hit by a fine!

You do know that she'll turn up at 06:30 on the 17th though right?

Trust me on this, she sounds EXACTLY like someone I used to know - and thus lies a tale, if only I"d known about MN then...

Actually, yes! She'll probs just send round the kids.

Be out on 17th.

Love your husband OP x

Some people just take the piss and don't give a shit. I've had the parents that turn up at my DC's birthday party and try to offload their child's siblings too. I used to run school discos as part of the PTA and there would be a strict disco over time of 9pm. We would stress that volunteers were running it and please be prompt. There would always be a couple of DC left there until 10pm! Parents would turn up and say their DC had said 10, stinking of booze!

I think you need this...

If the dad shift works and is home by 10.30am I really can't see how she needs childcare for a 14 and a 10 year old anyway? Mine wouldn't even be out of bed by then given a choice. Surely you would just leave them in bed with emergency contact numbers and maybe ask the neighbours to keep an ear out for them? Also if it's child abuse to do this why is it virtually impossible to get holiday clubs that take high school age kids?

That aside I still can't understand how asking you to "do a favour for them in the summer" equates to 8 hours a day of childcare including 2 meals, all for free. Friends would do an odd day, reciprocated, that is a favour. This is a major piss take.

Don't cave OP. If she had been reasonable odd days would have maybe been fine but she's flipped so far out she can't even see reasonable. If she asks again just repeat "I'm sorry I can't do that, I never agreed and never would as it's a major commitment not a favour." If anyone else confronts you saying you let her down I'd simply say "she assumed I would look after and feed her two kids from 6.30 am - 2.00pm for free, 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Would you like to do it instead?"

People like this think you've got it easy because you don't WORK and owe them something because they do WORK. They conveniently forget that you make sacrifices to spend time with your children. Block her OP, she will keep bullying you otherwise until she gets her way. Well done for standing up to her. About time someone did - must have come as quite a shock to her.

Go away ok that first Monday-I can see her leaving those kids there on your doorstep.

I bet the teenager is mortified at her behaviour! Does she actually give a crap about what they want?!

Tell her it's not your bloody problem that she has babied her children so much that at almost 14 and presumably soon starting his GCSE's, her son can't get himself out of bed, make his own breakfast and keep an eye on 10 year old for a few hours.

They'll probably just be sat playing on xbox anyway. How embarrassing for the lad to be forced to sit on some strangers couch every day.

My mum had to work 5pm-9pm when I was 13. I used to put my little sister to bed.

realy like what your dh said about him working so that you could look after your kids not any strays. How awful that they rubbished being a sahm. The disney holiday!! that is outrageous too. Well done for standing up to them and well done your child for throwing up at exactly the right moment. I hope that he is ok. Stay strong - they have to learnt their lesson

Disney World thanks you FAM!! 😂😉 Well done to all of you for sticking to your guns. It's so unfair to put any of this on you. Knowing what favours meant - really. What did she think you were psychic? Nice comedy puke as well - love it!! Well done all involved - I'm emotionally drained. I'm saying I'm going to head to bed now - bet I'm checking thread number 4 in and hours time!! 😂

Placemarking for the next instalment 😆

Have yourself ready op. Tomorrow she will bully rally whatever parents she can to grind you down. Be prepared to say 'I didn't agree to childcare. I cannot and will not be doing childcare. This is not open for discussion and I'm disappointed you would try.

People like this don't surprise me. My relative worked part time from home and always had people trying to unload kids and pets. One time they were on the doorstep and she threatened to call the police and ss if they left.

She's crackers. Of course a 13yo can be left.

Read it all.

Words fail. It's the biggest piss take I've ever read.

Hang on in there OP.

She sounds delusional. When I worked for tax credits many years ago we used to get people who'd put their kids on the phone and say 'tell them why they're not getting any Christmas presents' because they couldn't have their payment early or because they wanted all their tax credits for the year in a lump sum. She needs to act like a grown up and take some responsibility.

If she tries to talk to you again don't make any suggestions about what she can do for child care, that's not your problem to solve and she'll just have some excuse about why she can't use the leisure centre care or leave them at home alone. Just stick to 'no, I'm not looking after your kids. End of.'

Read and ran earlier so just caught up!
Well done op! What a horrible horrible cow she really is! Can't stand people like her!

Maybe suggest as she obviously has two weeks spare time in October you've assumed she'll be taking your kids to Disneyland for free. I. The plus side she should fit in well in a land of make believe. Maybe whilst she's there she could line up Mary poppins for the Christmas holidays

Just came in to DH Playing Rihanna WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK lol lol

@famtastic your dh is a legend!!

Your ds has great aim and timing.
I hope he feels better soon though.

OP you need to keep records of this thread. Print it out because these fuckers are completely and utterly deranged. You may need to report them to the police one day!

Absolute lunctics.

I still don't understand how they wouldn't be going to Disney world if you didn't watch the kids?

Am I being dense or can someone explain that to me.

Wow I can't believe that this has gone into 3 threads now! Your DS has the best timing in the world. I reckon she will come crawling back.

Oh my word. I can't believe we're on thread 3 and how much has happened since I last posted earlier this afternoon.

Well done to you Fam for standing up for yourself. Way to go FamJr on projectile vomiting all over Workzilla's shoes. Karma is just great! Job well done there MrFam and I just love the neighbours 'gardening'!

I don't think this will be the end but I do hope after all of this is over, that you're going to be ok and more empowered Fam.

Keep on keeping on!
