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)

?????

Great il get the popcorn ready! Thanks OP and happy birthday!

What do the other members of the What'sApp group say?

wow, gosh! between this and workzilla... i can't believe people like this exist. im in utter shock. i've worked with kids, looked after friends kids before, but have never encountered behaviour on this level.
op, glad you did what had to be done.

I've been on the receiving end of a piss taker too. It's shit.

On the bright side OP, she did you a favour by removing herself from the group - it saved you the bother of doing it.

Gabs I thought workzilla turned out to be a troll thread. I was following it but started to have my doubts. Checked back later and it had had the arse reported out of it.

Me also! I love a house full of kids! They always have fun here, because my place is such a shithole anyway (clean, but in need of a redecorate, full of cats, snakes, gerbils and the odd pigeon) so I don't mind thrm slinging paint or flour everywhere! I think it's a sort of life lesson when you finally recognize the linr between "the odd favor" and taking the piss.

Absolutely cannot believe the cheek of it!!!

Hope she has to cancel her evening out and has a shit time. How dare she persist with the piss taking?!

So how many RL friends of yours on here Radley. 😁

Really? The r word mrsabrown?? Was there any need?

Workzilla wasn't a troll (according to HQ). She was reinstated .

Mypatronus starts doing the can can for dramotic effect meeeee

Two that I've spoken to tonight. One up there ♤♤ (sorry, I don't know where the up sign is on this damn phone!)

My birthday is on Tuesday. Can I come too? I'll be flying over from Australia so I'll have to leave shortly. I just know she's going to turn up as though nothing's happened.

Maybe I'll wake up on Monday looking older, and I won't get ID'd for ciggies any more in Tesco!

Brilliant thread OP, excellent responses

I really think she worked it out as the perfect agenda for her weekend and it became reality in her head. Her plan was what was definitely happening, even though she failed to consult the people involved. Like a lie someone says to themselves so much they believe it as the absolute truth.

What a cheeky fucker. I love a good cheeky fucker.

Justilou ill be the bouncer for the night you only get in if you come bearing tasty goodies... or booze for the bouncer......

Assuming she finds a mug to take her kids on Saturday, you need to make sure her shag-fest is interrupted

Regular pizza deliveries to her door, taxis coming to collect her, calls to environmental health from neighbouring addresses complaining of excessive noise late at night, that sort of thing

This was meant to say idiots not retards and came up with the above - so sorry. Keyboard buggered.

Is former friend lone parent as she refers to a DP dropping off but on a Sunday? Who expects a sleepover on a Sunday???

* "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".*

Sorry- My DH. It was a clumsy attempt at hiding names etc.

She is referring to the op's DH! She's very kindly planned their Sunday for them too

She wanted than picked up early as well!!

Msabrown phew

Wow, this is the week that just keeps giving...Zillas! Well done OP on your responses, she sounds completely off the wall.
