Toddzilla Thread 2 - No Toddlers at the hen do please!

650 replies

whyhastherumgone · 08/08/2017 09:33

Second thread set up as demanded by the Mumsnet hen do menagerie :)

Original thread here:
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2998359-AIBU-You-dont-bring-a-toddler-to-a-hen-do?

Quick summary:
Organising friend's hen do. All booked and paid for, sorted. Two weeks prior a friend attending, hereby known as Demanding Woman, tells me she will be bringing her toddler and DP along as toddler has tantrums that DP can't handle and won't sleep without her there. She will also require a private room now in the converted barn we are staying in, despite everyone agreeing to share etc.

A whatsapp exchange ensues with myself declaring that no this will no be happening and Demanding Woman getting very shirty. Demanding Woman takes it to bride who also shuts it down. So far Demanding Woman is still attending hen do in less than two weeks but is now trying to take control of hen do in terms of games/food/drink etc.

We now have a whole minibus of Mumsnetters, Toddlers, Toddler-eating-dogs, Elephants, hamsters, moody teenagers all planning to attend with boxes of popcorn to take over barn and avidly watch my first meeting with Demanding Woman which I'm definitely not completely and utterly dreading

I'm not sure I will have any further updates for a bit but I promise if there are any further mad details to be had, you will be the first to know.

As you were, Mumsnetters.

Sounds like the Bride is going to have to revoke DW's invitation to the Wedding because she is most definitely going to bring her toddler daughter no doubt bedecked out as bridesmaid!

I am sure MN could form a security posse if requiredGrin.

whyhastherumgone · 20/08/2017 19:02

Hi all, not sure i've caught up properly. I'm shattered!

someone asked what DW does - she's some kind of make up rep for a company called Unique, she was trying to sell stuff to the hen party in our chat when we first set it up but nobody went for it. She was quite pushy about that so we shouldn't have been surprised really. I think she works from home so maybe she can get away with behaving like a lunatic in her professional life as well as shes not in an office!

I will see if i can find out more details about the argument when i was a asleep, when i speak to bride again - we tried not to focus on it too much for the rest of the weekend and bride had a fab time so thank you for all your good wishes :)

OMG do you mean Younique?
DW is an MLM bot as well 😂 she is the ultimate C.F.!

Only1scoop · 20/08/2017 19:12

Bloody hell the thread that keeps giving.

whyhastherumgone · 20/08/2017 19:18

yes that's it - I just went back and searched the whatsapp chat. Make up bundles and the like? She said she was make up stylist or something. I didn't look at the links she sent so not 100% sure.

Although it did work out alright in the end, I have decided that I am never organising a hen do EVER AGAIN.

OF COURSE she's a MLM bot! Dear god. When is the wedding? Wondering how long we have to wait for the next drama!!

Well done for what sounds like a great weekend and best of luck for your pregnancy!

Theyhaveallbeenused2 · 20/08/2017 19:29

Brilliant updates! I bet she still turns up at wedding (and rants and raves about her fibre mascara)

MrsHandles · 20/08/2017 19:35

Oh god, and she's part of Younique?! No wonder she's completely off her trolley!

Partypolitics99 · 20/08/2017 19:38

Wow just wow. Ultimate Cheeky cow
OP you simply must find out more about the argument
This is going to go down in mumsnet history along with the Mexican House Stealer Neighbour, Penis Beaker and Little Old Korean Lady.
Does anyone else really feel sorry for the toddler?. With a Mum like that she has next to no chance.

Partypolitics99 · 20/08/2017 19:39

And plus she is a MLM bot 😀 This thread keeps giving.
When is the wedding Op?

whyhastherumgone · 20/08/2017 19:40

oh and Rain, just been catching up - so so sorry to hear about your Mum :( but I'm very glad my silly little thread could bring you a distraction! x

fairgame84 · 20/08/2017 19:41

I hope she sets up a Younique stall at the wedding reception.

MetalMidget · 20/08/2017 19:45

Omg she's a Younique Hunbot to boot! I'm surprised she hasn't demanded that she does the bridal party makeup on the big day!

TakeMe2Insanity · 20/08/2017 19:46

O M G!

What an update. I can't believe I nearly missed this.

minionsrule · 20/08/2017 19:49

Hope you had a great time OP and B2B enjoyed it (regardless of DW antics).
Another one hoping we get an update after the wedding (sure no one wants ypu to be distracted during wedding posting updates,
unless you really want to of course Grin)

Foslady · 20/08/2017 20:26

No wonder she wanted to take over the entertainment - it would have been a two day sell fest!!!

Willow2017 · 20/08/2017 20:28

Oh my god of course she is!

She probably had her 'business in a box' in the boot to 'persuade' you all how fabulous it is at the party. Apart from wanting to sign you all up to her #mumbizinezz, #sittingonmyarsemakingmillionshun.

Pleaese update us after the wedding, fingers crossed she stays away but just in case....Wink

harrypotternerd · 20/08/2017 21:05

oh jesus OP she is definitely batshit. My partner was watching me with my mouth wide open and asked if I was now a fly catcher cheeky bugger

whyhastherumgone · 20/08/2017 21:34

I just fell down a internet rabbit hole reading a blog about an ex Younique seller after reading your reactions. I didn't realise it had such a reputation!!

By the way who is workzilla? Was mentioned upthread.

I will update after wedding if anything happens but I think bride's is going to uninvite her officially so I really really hope that the wedding isn't just lovely and uneventful as that will be awful otherwise.

OP posts:
GinIsIn · 20/08/2017 21:36

£10 says she still turns up at the wedding after being uninvited.... Grin

harrypotternerd · 20/08/2017 21:40

OP when is the wedding? I must check back at that time? This woman is bonkers but very entertaining

londonrach · 20/08/2017 22:26
