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)

?????

Can there be two WORKzillas out there? Shock Grin

MaureenDodd · 06/07/2017 21:15

Grin @ AssBurger

Hidingtonothing · 06/07/2017 21:16

Still put the clarification message on the whatsapp group OP, if WORKzilla has taught us anything it's to cover your arse so you can't get badmouthed afterwards. And DO NOT delete those texts Grin

LemonRedwood · 06/07/2017 21:16

Sitting on my arse crocheting while following this thread.

HopefullyAnonymous · 06/07/2017 21:17

Some people really are unbelievably rude!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 06/07/2017 21:17

Shock There are no words!

kittybiscuits · 06/07/2017 21:17

Just gonna drop you a couple of kids off for the weekend Lemon

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 06/07/2017 21:18

I do crochet- she's got that bit right! Love the idea about crocheting hammocks 😂

This was the private conversation- it took place on facebook messenger.

No reply atm to the "where the fuck are we supposed to sleep?" comment.

I'm in awe that you can crochet whilst MIning! (I crochet whilst sticking my tongue out the side of my mouth to concentrate)

SomeKnobend · 06/07/2017 21:18

I'd say "I'm NOT babysitting your 5 kids during my birthday party so you can fuck off out somewhere else you cheeky bastard".

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 06/07/2017 21:19

Please post in the WhatsApp group about the 'misunderstanding'. They need to know.

MaureenDodd · 06/07/2017 21:19

I'd be incredibly impressed with some who could crochet whilst MIning....DYAC.

HeteronormativeHaybales · 06/07/2017 21:19

One of the names is still visible - perhaps better ask MNHQ to delete the screenshits ( Grin ). You don't want CF to find this and have an excuse to attempt to grab back some moral high ground.

youarenotkiddingme · 06/07/2017 21:19

She's clearly on more glue than a glue gun Grin

But as usual MNers have great responses that beat a simple "hell no!"

aaaaargghhhhelpme · 06/07/2017 21:19

You need to screenshit that shit onto the whatsapp group!

SomeKnobend · 06/07/2017 21:19

You're making it about the details OP - mistake! It's about the principle.

user1476869312 · 06/07/2017 21:20

What amazes me is that people really seem to think they can get their own way by tantrumming when the 'favour' they have demanded is refused.

ClopySow · 06/07/2017 21:20

I want to crochet

gingerchampion · 06/07/2017 21:20

Mrs cheeky fucker might not want to come to your party but we do!!! Poor little cheeky fuckers being told to top n tail like Victorian waifs! I hope you have a brilliant birthday OP X

ImperialBlether · 06/07/2017 21:20

Is she single? Why won't she be coming to the party?

And is she suggesting her kids sleep in your bed all night?!

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 06/07/2017 21:21

Shit- which one? I don't care about my kid's names being visible, if it's one of them. I'm "out" on here. Another reason I could never be a trill! 😂

elfinpre · 06/07/2017 21:21

I'd send her a reply - to the entire whatsapp group. Stupid cow.

MusicForTheJiltedGeneration · 06/07/2017 21:22

I'd definitely post the unedited screenshits in the group.

People like her need to be exposed for what they are. She'd never be crossing my doorstep again.

TheSnorkMaidenReturns · 06/07/2017 21:22

Speechless of Mumsnet Shock

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 06/07/2017 21:22

Trill? TROLL! DMBASS BOGIEJUICE PHONE!

I'm the queen of typos!
