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)

?????

Between Pretend and my other friend (very protective of me- a bit of a mother figure) I don't think they'd even get in the neighborhood now 😅

Omg!!!!

Hope your party goes well and minus gatecrashers.

Just reply 'please seek help' and say nothing else 🤣

Definitely go with Madbums reply

She's so entitled on so many levels it's unreal. This is giving me palpitations just reading this thread

She sounds like my cheeky fuckers sil, crashed our wedding night and honeymoon because they were desperate for a holiday, they left early due to there complicated living arrangements then decided that they could rejoin us for the remainder of our honeymoon. They were most put out when we told them no! Think of harassing us all day via text trying to get us to change our minds

Like OMG!

This is unbelievable! "My relationship is in jeopardy"? So she's basically seeing a fuckwit who isn't impressed because she can't get rid of her kids for a night? And that's your fault because you wanted to celebrate your birthday without babysitting her kids? She sounds like a great friend. Why did you dump her?

She's going to turn up isn't she

She's the gift that keeps on giving. Booked my place on the sofa, got plenty of popcorn. Bring on the day!

OMG she is obsessed with herself isn't she?
I would go with funs reply and end this non friendship once and for all.

She's going to turn up isn't she

Yup! Complete with her little cherubs. In the hopes that you can't say no in front of their angelic little faces.

Go with mad bums reply!!

Honestly I can't believe she's still going.

Have an awesome birthday party! (And let us know if you need a few more bouncers...always happy to help out!)

please seek help is ace!

I still can't get over that her first text included "when will your DH pick them (5!)up"
What ever happened to please?

And yes to a "relationship" that relies on her dumping her kids on others without so much a by your leave?

Just noticed that she's asking YOU to see sense!
What planet is this woman on?

Definitely text her to say "don't even THINK about turning up tonight"

I'm honestly not dropping a place marker and running but I am lost between workzilla and this thread.
Have a great party

OP You need a bouncer

"Advice for you, my dear...

1. Grab your ears and pull- very gently.

1. When your ears are outside of your ass, use them to pixk up the phone and seek professional help. I hear CheekyFuckerVille is quite a popular hotspot for people such as yourself at this time of the year.

1. Fuck. Off. You. Fucking. Big. Bowl. Of. Fucksoup."

I think I just grew down again, didn't I? 😅

I bet she went on about it so much to the shag man that he saw how crazy she is. Otherwise he's a prized twat if he canmt understa d her childcare issues.

Go with madbum, then text "and if your therapist agrees that I'm to blame, then I'll reconsider".

"Fuck. Off. You. Fucking. Big. Bowl. Of. Fucksoup"

I'm so having that .

Hope your party goes well!
