Seriously- someone left the gate open at Cheeky Fuckerland this week!

It's my birthday in 9 days. (Actually, it's my bday on Monday- but I'm celebrating in 9 days). I don't usually do anything, but it seems like an absolute age since we all got together, so I've organized a curry night at home. A few mates and their kids, music, etc.

I've got a whatsapp group (lazy, couldn't be arsed to send the same text 170 times😂), which the girl in question is a part of. It's been a bit of a riot on there (people suggesting silly themes, etc, all good fun). She hasn't said a word on it.

She pinged me privately and said "my five are excited about next Saturday- they love Aunty Radley's cooking", etc, etc. And then the clanger (I think)

"What time is (my DH) picking them up? It'll have to be before 3 because I've arranged to go out".

Um...HUH?

I said she must have got her wires crossed- she was invited WITH the DC, and I've askrd everyone to arrive at about 5.30-6! (This is why I mentioned the Whatsapp group btw- these details have been mentioned several times on there, with people joking that they'd be arriving by private jet 😂).

Answer: "They'll be fine coming to yours early. I'll bang their sleeping bags in the boot and DH can drop them off about 3pm on Sunday".

I haven't replied.

I don't want to be responsible for five other kids without their parent there! We have no room for them to sleep over either! My DC share a room in a two bedroomed apartment. It'll be a squeeze getting everyone in on Saturday night, but that's always part of the fun.

In a nutshell:

Am I being selfish? I want to let my hair down as much as I can that night- anyone who's read my other active thread will know it's been a stressful month, and I need it!

If IANBU, please help me craft a reply.

If IABU and completely selfish, help me somehow work out a sleepover arrangement? How practical is it to squeeze 7 kids into one roome? (DB will be sleeping over in the lounge, and he snores like a lawnmower on acid, so impossible to share a room with, much as I love him)

Shock Shock Shock

I would have struggled to believe it if you hadn't done the 'screenshits' lol
still hoping you've done it all yourself and we've all fallen for it

You definitely need to put these messages on your whatsapp group before she starts slagging you off to them.
What a fucking cheeky bint.

Waddlelikeapenguin · 06/07/2017 21:22

Your reply was perfect!

burntoutmum · 06/07/2017 21:23
Shock

I'm speechless

UnderTheDesk · 06/07/2017 21:23

I love Cheeky Fucker threads so damn much. Although I would have just gone with the first reply to the op as my reply, tbh.

Topseyt · 06/07/2017 21:23

Bloody hell, she takes cheeky fuckery to a whole new level!!

I would seriously consider rescinding her invitation since she can't stop being a prize twat.

A simple "you are no longer invited because you just cannot stop taking the piss" should do the trick.

sidesplittinglol · 06/07/2017 21:23

Some people have no manners! How can she just assume that it was ok for her kids to stay without asking you first? They're not anyone's responsibility but hers. She can't expect other people to watch her kids.

MadamePomfrey · 06/07/2017 21:23

This would be cheeky if it was a part for the kids but for an adults birthday party 😱😱. I think it's time for mumsnet to unite and destroy all the glue people just keep abusing it this week 😉

TheAntiBoop · 06/07/2017 21:24

I would still put something eminently reasonable on the whatsapp tbh

cottagecheesequeen · 06/07/2017 21:24

You need to uninvited her otherwise she will taxi up to ur house at 3pm and dump the kids and drive off. ( this happens I've read it on mums net)

thegirlupnorth · 06/07/2017 21:24

Dear entitled.....can I send you the link to what my mumsnet friends say!!

sleepisnotoverrated · 06/07/2017 21:25

What is with all the cheeky fuckers at the moment?! Seriously what the fuck is wrong with these bell ends??

DiamondShine · 06/07/2017 21:25

I would just reply "In case you didn't get the concept of my last message, it's not going to happen"

sidesplittinglol · 06/07/2017 21:25

What have your other friends said in response to her telling them?

Madwoman5 · 06/07/2017 21:25

WORKzillasapprentice

My mate is having a party but I want to go out that night. I have five kids and don't get much downtime as I am a single mum whereas She has loads of time on her hands and a husband to help. There will be loads of adults and kids to take care of them and her bed and floor is big enough for them to sleep in/on overnight and they will keep really quiet until her husband can drop them back at mine just before lunch the next day. She said no just because it's her birthday party but her birthday is 9 days before the party so it is not her REAL birthday. I can't see the problem as I really need this night out and a lie in. Aibu to be pissed at her selfishness?

mumthatruns · 06/07/2017 21:26

There's a lot of crazy people on Mumsnet at the moment.

And its BRILLIANT!!!!

Twopeapods · 06/07/2017 21:27

Love your response.
She might not have the guts to reply now.

Have a problem with a cheekyfecker of my own. I think a p-taker friend of mine is purposefully ignoring my texts today that I can't look after her DD because I'm really not well. I think she is going to turn up in the morning pretending she never got them Confused

PacificDogwod · 06/07/2017 21:27

Hell no! seems ever more appropriate Grin

I think she is a friend of yours nomore...

HeteronormativeHaybales · 06/07/2017 21:28

OP, it's her youngest dd's name.

C0untDucku1a · 06/07/2017 21:28

Omg how entitled!

krustykittens · 06/07/2017 21:28

Please tell me you are going to drop this person like a bag of hot dog shit, she is SO fucking rude and clearly no friend!

notapizzaeater · 06/07/2017 21:29

Cheeky mare can't believe the cheek ....

NicolasFlamel · 06/07/2017 21:29

She must be related to WORKzilla. They're like a different breed!

Birdsbeesandtrees · 06/07/2017 21:29

I'd post her request to the entire what's app group then explain that no you aren't a free baby sitting service least of all for a party you are having for your own birthday.

Msqueen33 · 06/07/2017 21:30

Oh god Partyzilla! I loved the workzilla thread.

Cheekyfucker land has done these crazies proud. It's like loopy week at the moment.

I honestly can't get over some of the utter brass necks some people have.

So she doesn't want to come to your party but wants to dump her kids off on you? Because you're not SINGLE and don't WORK?!!!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 06/07/2017 21:30

This is an utterly gobsmacking level of cheeky-fuckerdom! She is not just an escapee from Cheeky Fuckerland, she is its queen!
