Another who says not to send any email. Fam, you can hold your head high knowing you have said all you need to say. If you have to say anything, it could be something along the lines of 'There's nothing more to say on the matter'. [ smile] Well done, famtastic, you've done great.

FrToddUnctious · 05/07/2017 21:58

Loved the idea of the head making fam explain to all the children in assembly that she isn't running the kids' club after all so they will no longer be able to go to Disneyland. Grin

If she accuses you of lying again, just ask exactly what you are lying about. She won't be able to answer.

PickAChew · 05/07/2017 22:08

She didn't exactly help herself when she said she shouldn't have to pay for her kids to be in the holiday club, at the beginning of all of this. Now THAT would have been a useful text to keep.

PickAChew · 05/07/2017 22:10

And, yeah, no mass emails.

Laura1206 · 05/07/2017 22:15

OMG Fam I have read all four threads. What a crazy, deluded woman WORKzilla is! She sounds vile! You've handled this with grace, elegance and patience, I would've told her to fuck right off with a few more choice words which would've got me in trouble. I hope this damn woman reads this and if she does: the world doesn't owe you a living. Look after your own goddamn kids! You horrible, self-entitled witch.

WhatchaMaCalllit · 05/07/2017 22:28

Just wanted to say - Well done Fam!

It's like I'm reading updates posted by a different woman (one less anxious about stuff like this) to the one that started posting only a few days ago.

You're brilliant and have dealt with this bizarre situation with poise and strength that I'd hazard a guess you didn't think you even had. Way to go you!!!

nosleepforme · 05/07/2017 22:29

cant believe she is still going on about this after you said you never agreed and cant help her! the CHEEK she has telling other parents. there's 2 things i just cannot stand and cannot control myself with and stupid people is one of them! all the praise to you for being so diplomatic, i could not have done that.

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 05/07/2017 22:38

Please don't send a mass text or email.

PoorYorick · 05/07/2017 22:44

Oh God don't send a mass email.

And don't listen to the clinical psychologists diagnosing someone they've never met with sociopathy via an internet account of them. She's a pain, she's an idiot, she's entitled, she's rude, she's a twat but trying to pull someone into doing free childcare doesn't make them a certifiable sociopath, ffs. Though it's a change from the more fashionable diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Freyanna · 05/07/2017 22:49

So pleased for you, Fam. Think how your Summer would have been, 7 am start with 2 grumpy WORKzilla kids dragged from their beds, breakfast, snacks, lunch, entertainment to be provided, all free for WORKzilla. Also, WORKzilla not returning at 2 pm, rocking up at 5 pm with bags of clothes for the Disney holiday, new acrylic nails etc.

Phew what a lucky escape.! Have a great Summer, Fam, you and your family deserve it. Flowers

Hi thanks, not had much chance to read all comments been out as mil birthday.

I have had lots of messages tonight from fiends and mums from school, checking I'm ok etc. I have thanked them all and told them in now putting it to bed. I told her how I felt today ( mostly) that is the last time I'm going to discuss it with her. From now on il avoid or blank her. But most think she's made an idiot of her self and I am right. I don't really care now but it's lovely to hear. I just want to rise above it as best as I can and be the bigger person now. I don't doubt she will try and speak to me again but I won't be conversing back. Let them see how silly she is. She asked 3 other mums tonight apparently to help out over summer and they all said no! She hasn't done herself any favours at all. I'm sort of pleased it happened in the play ground for lots to see how ever embarrassing it was. And maybe it was good I didn't say exactly what I'd like to as she has made herself look a drama queen instead of a victim xx

Fam, you've done everything right, everything and not engaging is exactly how it should play it - don't feed the crazy.

Anxiety is a terrible affliction and it's easy to internalise it, to think it's part of your personality - but it's not, it's a terrible terrible external syndrome.

The way you've handled this is ALL you and who you really are.

A strong, dignified, brave, witty, kickarse woman.

I'm in awe.

GabsAlot · 05/07/2017 23:04

nice one fam glad som are checking on you

i hope all the mums say no to her-karma

Justhadmyhaircut · 05/07/2017 23:07

Messages from fiends eh? Says loads about the dms at your school op!! Grin

Atenco · 05/07/2017 23:10

So glad that so many people have your back in this, fam.

JustGiveMeTwoMinutes · 05/07/2017 23:11

Am i the only one wondering that if WORKzilla had got her way and got Fam to childminder, WZ would not have been dragging her kids out of bed as she would also have persuaded Fam to go round to her house?

YouTheCat · 05/07/2017 23:14

If she turns up with them on the 17th can we have a 5th thread? Grin

famtastic · 05/07/2017 23:20

Oh thank you! Smile I'm feeling quite drained over it all but so much more positive too. I'm just over it now to anyone around here or a school, it's utterly ridiculous really but horrible too. I feel anxious about the school run tomorrow but I'm just going to keep my head high and my mouth closed! Hopefully lol!

Thank you all I couldn't of done any of this with out so much amazing support! What a fab bunch of women you all are xxx

Yes thread 5 if she turns up before or on the 17th lol Grin

BuntyMumofPie · 05/07/2017 23:23

Ah well in that case defo don't send my message lol

Sounds like you played it all perfectly!

Trudij123 · 05/07/2017 23:29

fam- you are brilliant. I hope you have a lovely summer holiday and make lots of noise about how wonderful a time you all had ;)

Gemini69 · 05/07/2017 23:42

Famtastic... take nice deep steady breathes and stay composed no matter what.... She created this entire situation ... She sounds absolutely infuriating...

Focus only on you and yours and enjoy your Summer Lady x

Madwoman5 · 05/07/2017 23:42

If she comes at you again ask her which bit was a lie; the bit where she didn't actually ask you before informing the world and his mother you were doing childcare for the whole summer from 6.30am or the text she sent where she admitted she had "assumed" you would do it as you are a stay at home mum with nothing better to do? The abusive texts until gone 2am, the doorstep hysterics or the emotional blackmail? Then tell her you are bored of the drama now. Goodbye.
She has no idea you have deleted the texts. You could always add, I could always share your texts with the others if you prefer?
You are doing so well, we are all proud of you. X
