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)

?????

So what did she want from your groends, then OP? If they replied, what did she say?

Groends?

Friends!

Unbelievable!

I keep a very special meme for dicks like this

Those of you who doubted before I posted screenshots- I AM NOT OFFENDED IN THE SLIGHTEST! I know it goes on, and it's not as if you were calling me every name under the sun, is it? Please don't worry!

Here's the "police thread". Pretend I'll explain later- it all happened so fast. I had to cancel going food shopping with HNF because I had to wait in for this call.

What is it with industrial level piss taking. Years ago I lived in a flat above my job. 'Friend' asked me is I was able to look after DC for one morning while she..... I said yes because I was on a late shift. She asked again and I said yes. In a nutshell it got to the point where the DC was left alone in my flat while I was downstairs working. DC was watching telly and playing with toys but not supervised in any way. I eventually said no, it wasn't working as I felt sorry for the kid and it wasn't safe and when I went up for my lunch break I wanted to chill and watch Home and Away not kids programmes. OMG you would think I had asked 'friend' for a fucking kidney!! She obviously planned to leave her DC in my flat irrespective of my shifts from 8 am until 7pm every day of the holidays. End of friendship due to her epic piss taking and for no other reason. Thing is I really like the DC and I was happy to help her out here and there.

Ooh- let's make it a "dealing with the turds" thread!

We need:

A kit (brasso, a sofa to hide behind, a phone to post on MN)

A list of Translations ( "what are you doing tonight?" does NOT translate as "fancy a pint?", it ushally translates as "I'm dumping the kids on you/going to give you a list of tasks/need you to drive me someplace)

A list of Woeds To Learn (No. Fuck Off Cunty Chops. Etc)

Shize it wasn't wns of a friendahip- MN has taught me that these people are not friends.

*end of a friendship.

Thankyou for answering my question. I stopped reading the thread after the MN declaration of trollness but could see it was still going, hence my assumption it was being left for entertainment. I have now seen the updates so know MN changed its stance.
Maddhugger I am wrong to ask a question? hmm

See that was my issue, A blanket statement of MN Admin averting their eyes for the sake of entertainment. And It is a very wrong Assumption to make.

Assumptions are usually bad to make.

I could say you posted in this manner to to stir the pot, as it were. but that would be an assumption on my part 🤐

Many Thank Yous for the link OP (((((((((((Mega Hugs)))))))) I have left a post on that one

Radley this is it! I assume the brasso is for polishing the brass neck?
It's turned around to be the fault of the innocent party! All you did after all was send out a party invite!!!

My sister is like this and we have another in the family that makes your ex friend with five nippers look like a rank amateur. Me and DH were with her once and we were out for the day when she said she needed to nip to a shop to get some random item. She never came back and in fact she had gone home to bed!!! We couldn't get hold of her so took her three DC around to their GPs as we didn't know where she lived exactly. I later found out her DH sheepishly collected the kids late that evening from the GP's. We have never had any explanation for this other than the gate being left open at Cheeky Fucker Land again but she has done this several times with others since. We don't have child seats in our car even. DH was tamping with rage. If there had been any injuries or accidents it would have been our fault though!!

OP: A list of Translations ( "what are you doing tonight?" does NOT translate as "fancy a pint?", it ushally translates as "I'm dumping the kids on you/going to give you a list of tasks/need you to drive me someplace)

Yup. I learnt Decades ago to say -I'm busy/ let me check the calendar/ No i cannot do that/ NO I don't want to Do that/Go. Go bug someone else. etc

Oh, in the kit should be an extra strong lock- to keep the gate shut in future.

A guide to spotting the species that is Cheeky Fucker needs to be included!

reply sorry i cant watch the kids as im not watching my own im getting really drunk as i deserve too and im going to have a really bad hangover next day and wont be able to cope with any kids next morning! oh and we cant drive either as starting early with the drinks. no where for kids to sleep as having family staying on air beds in every room haha

A list of Translations ( "what are you doing tonight?" does NOT translate as "fancy a pint?", it ushally translates as "I'm dumping the kids on you/going to give you a list of tasks/need you to drive me someplace)

Good reply to this question could be
"cocaine"

Holy shit! Is it cheeky fucker month or something?

Or "The whole cast of Eastenders" 😂

Just catching up on this thread and really want to come to your party in her place as you sound like you'd be an amazing person to be friends with and such a laugh!!!

Our nights usually result in drunken youtube karaoke!

A text saying that youngest DS wet the bed last night because he was so upset.

I've just read the whole thread and OP, you are a legend!

You've handled this so well and with such humour, and while going through everything on your other thread too

I still cannot believe that anyone would get an invitation to an adult birthday party and interpret it as an offer to take five unsupervised kids for a sleepover! And in your own bed! Just... wow.

To be honest I'd have been telling her to fuck off as soon as she made that dig about crochet. I'm a knitter myself and my knitting time is precious! There's a running theme with these recent Zilla threads where people are supposed to feel guilty for any perceived 'leisure' time that they don't immediately offer to give up to convenience other people. It's such bullshit!

A text saying that youngest DS wet the bed last night because he was so upset.

Tell her she should be better at parenting then.

Jesus this cheeky bitch! The more she's whining the more glad I'd be she's not coming (to this or any future events ).

And that text was supposed to make you regret you were not letting him sleep in your bed

"Then I think you had better explain to him that you made an assumption that was not ok to make. Please don't contact me again."
