Fourth thread? Confused

GeekyWombat · 04/07/2017 18:16

Since your neighbours were so worried about her holiday maybe you could suggest she ask them. Depending on whether you like your neighbours

thatdearoctopus · 04/07/2017 18:18

How amusing that she wanted (in her middle-of-the-night texts) you to go back to the "agreement" you had.

Is she insane? THERE WAS NO AGREEMENT!!!!. Ever. By any stretch of the imagination.

The gift that keeps on giving....

Primamadonna · 04/07/2017 18:20

Well done fam, been following your thread & it brought up an unfortunate memory of equally nutty entitled neighbour. She started WORKING and needed me to pick up her toddler from school. Grand as I was at college about 5 mins from the school & wanted to support her. So I had the buggy with my DC in it & fetched the wee chap for two weeks. Come Sunday the second week I phoned her & asked her would she mind looking after mine for an hour as I'd to do a shop.
"Oh Prima, don't you realise how tired I am now I WORK, I can't do it "
End of arrangement on my part
Keep your chin up, she will take the piss no matter what.

As the result of a barrage of requests, Buttery. Lots of us heavily invested in this one Grin

doozeldog · 04/07/2017 18:21

Can someone post a link to the first thread please!!!

YouTheCat · 04/07/2017 18:22

I think the fact she's patrolling round yours shows that no other sap has offered her any sympathy or childcare.

Stephm88 · 04/07/2017 18:22

Shamelessly marking my place i love this thread 😂😂😂

Hortonlovesahoo · 04/07/2017 18:23

I wonder what frame she'll take when she asks again. OP: did you block her in the end?

I wouldn't worry about the school gates, just casually say:" I heard a rumour I was their childcare but it was the first I heard about it! Apparently offering one morning equates to the whole holiday?! What cheek!! "

wizzywig · 04/07/2017 18:24

Can anyome post a quick summary of what happened in thread 2. I have no excuse for not reading it. I wasnt at WORK or anything

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 04/07/2017 18:25

OP you don't happen to live in S Manchester, do you?

frieda909 · 04/07/2017 18:27

Just strange and doesn't take no, or see anything they do is wrong or strange. Always came across as harmless just entitled and hard faced and a bit dramatic if that makes sense.

These people are always like this! They will never, ever be in the wrong and are always hard done by. In the same way that their requests for 'favours' are always framed as if they're actually a lovely treat for you, e.g. it would be so nice for your own kids to have hers there to play with them during the holidays!

eddielizzard · 04/07/2017 18:29

you think she's jealous because you're a sahm and she WORKS? she wants to fuck up your lazy days with her offspring.

rollonthesummer · 04/07/2017 18:30

If she does that, tell her your kids have loads of friends and will be having play dates with them all summer-they don't need her two (of wildly different ages!) to play with!

MarthasHarbour · 04/07/2017 18:32

Sorry need to catch up as I have been at WORK all day.... WinkGrin

eddielizzard · 04/07/2017 18:35

doozledog here you go

VeuveLilies · 04/07/2017 18:36

Will she ever give up?!

Mazzystarlett · 04/07/2017 18:36

You need a "No Salespersons, Canvassers or Cheeky Fuckers Looking For Free Childcare" sign for your front door.

CoraPirbright · 04/07/2017 18:36

I am so shocked that she is lying so blatantly!! She really is away in her own little world, isnt she?!

As an aside, I love that everyone is capitalising WORK Grin

mikeyssister · 04/07/2017 18:37

Does all the "bottom clenching in anger" also help a pelvic floor?

mikeyssister · 04/07/2017 18:38

Not quiet sure what you're saying Cora; WORK is always written as WORK dontcha know

WhateverNameIsStillAvailable · 04/07/2017 18:39

I can't believe how hard necked she is... still after all that!
If she asks again make sure to tell her no way and especially not since she's been slagging u off at the school. Was she thinking this wouldn't get back to you?
She has lied to the other mums so she knows exactly that the way she's gone about 'asking' you was total entrapment and wrong.
She's not stupid. She's playing the typical poor me card. Turn on the taps, make a scene and ppl will do what I want.
I'd say she knows exactly what she's doing.
It obviously works. She might not even care much for her children. Unfortunately I've met a few mams like that too who don't care who minds their kids as long as she doesn't have to. Anyway good luck, stay strong and update us 😆
