Help me with a "Hell no!" reply, please.

[AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley]

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)

?????

Ha maybe she can't ask her parents if she's planning a fuckfest. So needs another sitter. Nice! Miss her mates party but dump her kids on her so she can shag all night. You must feel pretty special.

What a self entitled selfish woman.

This is crazy Radley. What a cheeky mare! Hope she doesn't become 'A' to you!

It's like brass neck week on here at the moment. Just ignore her. Nothing to be gained from feeding the drama.

One of the group is a lurker on here! I mention that, not because I'm scared about being outed- again, I don't give a blue fuck- but because, thanks to her, two people already had some idea of what was going on.

"You know who your true friends are when (sic) your truly in need of a shag "

Fixed that for her.

I'm a snarky cow so I'd be FBing back on my wall and saying "You know who is NOT a true friend when they try and dump THEIR kids on you for a sleepover despite the fact you are having an adult birthday bash!"

I love that you posted the messages on what's app - any support there Op?

What have the whatsapp group said?

What was her horrific reply? It's been deleted?

God there's been some brassy reply threads going on lately!

Oh, absolutely! Now that they know they can "speak freely"!

Fuck a moose- that makes me sound like the queen of England! What I mean is that the others in our friendship group would never slag off another of the group to me. I usually hate side-taking, etc. But now they know about this thread, too, they feel ok about saying what they really think IYSWIM?

Two have had a message asking what their plans are for next Saturday.

OMG WORKzilla actually has a twin!

I know this is your life OP (and the OP of WORKzilla) but this is bloody brilliant. Much more entertaining than anything on TV .

I know we read this stuff often on here (Mexican House Thief, Maui) but I still struggle to accept the brass neck of some people!

Like her comment. I would

singsomeone upthread pointed out that I'd left a name in the screenshot, so I reported it.

Could you crochet her some manners?

I missed your reply! I got the jist though and it sounds like it was perfect and has done the job.

Patronus I hear you! I'm usually the one glued to these type of threads- WORKzilla stole three days of my life!

Sounds like she's getting another parent to look after her kids at your party!!!

I hope they say NO!

Thick skin some people

Where are these self absorbed, selfish people from? I've never heard anything like it. Well done on putting her straight. Hope you have a fab birthday.

I'll copy and paste the conversation on here, instead of risking leacing names in again. My eyes don't work- it's the sort of stupid mistake I make!

However, what I lack in eyes I make up for in mouth, so win-win!

Perhaps you need to make clear to others that this is a party for families and not a party for kids so you don't want any extra guests!

People like this really exist??? I mean really ??? Where do you start picking this one apart. And the bit about them sleeping in your bed !! On your birthday I had to do a mental check that it wAsnt April fools

Eagerly waiting for that copy and paste job
