By request!

Haha 😂 I love your SIL

This thread is going to run and run, we all want to know what happens on the school run tomorrow and we all want to know about Monday 17th and what happens at 06:30 AM.

Lol sil is so funny she just doesn't care, she was really annoyed I didn't have her here last night just to see her get vomited on!

I wish I knew you in RL - your user name really does check out.

Just skimmed through (all 4!!) threads. Just knew she'd need childcare and couldn't afford to pay for it because they were using their AL and blowing shitloads of money on a flash holiday.

I love your sil and I love that you didn't stop her.

I'm sure workzilla is on mn. Be good if some mums from school posted and said what she's said. although part of me is glad they haven't yet with the personal things I've mentioned as if they saw this it's totally obvious it's about us,

I was trying to look at the road like I hadn't noticed either of them, I was Switzerland at that very moment. Just glad she kept driving my heart was in my mouth she would stop the car!

it's totally obvious it's about us

Are you concerned that you'll be the hero of the schoolyard and your kids will be too popular?

I can imagine the scene....

🙂👋.......🖕........😲😢

LOL!!

Looking forward to hearing about your school run in morning.

Oh, it's okay for you, so you should help me out" attitude. Of course, your DH was spot on with the reverse of that - he works hard for you to have the money as a family for you to be able to stay at home with your kids

But of course it doesn't run to Disneyland holidays or hair extensions - what you spend on shows your priorities.

BTW there is no way she can drop and run if you don't open the door!

In any case, she has had nearly 2 weeks to make alternative arrangements.

Sorry - meant, "she will have had nearly 2 weeks".

Not sure if I missed it but why did she need you until 2pm every day if her DP is home from WORK by 10.30am?

Yes-what was reason for this, OP?

If she manages to collar you and moans about sil's drive-by finger I'd be inclined to calmly say 'well she heard that you'd told blatant lies about me at the school, 'insisted I'd do your holiday childcare' did I? We both know that's not true though don't we? My sil doesn't like people telling lies about me and neither do I so I think it's best if we just give each other a wide berth from now on'. Then saunter off with your head held high and a big smile on your face

I think our 'investment' in this is that we've all encountered someone like this. It doesn't matter if we're a SAHM being asked for free childcare or a WORKing mum being asked to ferry someone else's children around because 'you're passing by there on your way to WORK anyway'. There's always someone who wants to take advantage of what they perceive to be the 'free time' of another person.

I had a SAHM mum who would routinely call me at work to see if I could 'just pick up a few things for her' since she didn't want to have to tote her kids to the store and I was 'already out and about'. Just no. I want to get to MY kids as soon as I can, thank you very much.

I never actually got round to asking about 2pm! Presume it's his new hours. No just I don't tell many about my anxiety or ds autism ( not ashamed before I get that) personal choice as I haven't felt I need to tell him he has it yet, he's never questioned he's different so I don't want to put that in his head x

Fam, you're an inspiration! Well done you. My DP is a teacher... this thread has definitely given me some inspiration on how to deal with school holiday requests!

(Lots of inspiration there, haha!)

Will you come back on the 17th and update us?

I'm shocked at the amount of people that get this, but there has been great advice and support on here.

Hope I'm as confident when dd starts a whole new set of mums. Think il be the late Mum from now on ha!

Yes il try and remember to! If no thread then nothing happened lol.

I've never come across anything like this (but my child is still preschool). All the mums I've met at nursery and playgroup and so on all seem like nice, decent people trying to do their best. I'll probably never start a good thread.

Well fam - even if your thread had been a tissue of fibs (not saying it was - I've loved every minute of it) - that it wouldn't matter because it is the Stuff of Myth and Legend!

It contains Deep Truths about Life, The Universe and Everything, which are beyond mere accuracy.

It is Our Lives Writ Large on the Page of History - and we LUFFS it!

Glad to hear little fam is feeling better, hope mini fam likes her new nursery too!
So glad MNHQ realised their mistake/haste and let the threds stand and your account was reinstated, and enjoyed the half hour i've just spent catching up from when iwent to bed last night.
