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

[whyhastherumgone]

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.

Thankß for update xx

I can't believe she's a hunbot! I've read that blog too and it's amazing but also quite scary. How long till the wedding?

Six thought everyone had read the Workzilla threads. You must have been organising a hen do at the time

*soz not six ffs autocarrot!

I'm surprised she hasn't offered to do the Bride's and bridesmaids' makeup - for a fee of course.

absolutely gobsmacked!! Who is THAT entitled!!! Just read it to my DH as I've been keeping him posted too. 2 Jaws hit the deck!!
Pleased you had a good time in the end tho op. Fingers crossed for the wedding

I'm mentally written a hysterically funny (in my mind!) post about how much fun I'd had at the hen weekend (designed to make other MNers wonder if I had, actually, been there). I was going to mention the minibus and the hastily built extension and everything (and I'd won ALL the games!!!)

But I'm just agog, agog, agog at the updates. The bride was SO assertive and clear (and awesome), but she just ignored all that and came anyway! OMG!!!!

I think PPs are right - she wanted to sell you all her make up during the hen ("think how gorgeous you'll all look on the wedding day!").
And I think Fenella's right (she's been spot-on so far). She ain't done yet!

Rum I hope you had a super weekend, despite everything.

And roll on the wedding!!!!

These threads (to me) have been MN at their very best.

Awesome stuff! But I do feel a bit sorry for DW's kid - imagine growing up with a mum that embarrassing and socially inept...

Wow just wow. I can't believe it, stupid cow- I hope she comes across this thread !
Glad you all had a good time though and good luck for the wedding!

What was her reason for bringing DP and DC when she had already been told no?

I hope there's a plan in place for when she turns up at the wedding complete with make- up and toddler. With designated individuals to make her sling her hook.
Bride sounds more than capable though.

Of course she's a Younique seller. That suits her somehow!

😂 that's amazing and yet I am not at all surprised she is a bot

I think others may be right that she was hoping to make some money at the party. Although surely being an Ann Summers rep would be more appropriate for the occasion.

OMG, have just read the 4 workzilla threads. These crazy women have to be related.

Oh my goodness, just caught up on this! The woman is insane, her neck must take some amount of brasso! The poor kid though, probably didnt know hat the hell was going on.

Crazy, crazy, crazy.

I was away with no wifi but am back and this has not let me down! Amazing, DW is full on crackers. I cannot believe anyone would rock up and then be pissy when told to leave.
Wow.

Oh my, the gall of some people! I really hope she doesn't turn up to the wedding to cause more problems (I wouldn't put it past her after this!)

What!!!! That's actually insane. I take it that's her friendship with the bride over with. Hope you all enjoyed the rest of the weekend.

Oooh! This looks exciting!

Place marking to catch up

bot-marking

This has been fabulous!
Surely this could be next years blockbuster film!!

Shameless placemarking not

Classics!!!!! Please!!

Literally never heard of such brass necked cheeky fuckery in all my life.

Omfg. This has made my day. I won't be coming but I'm off to read the other thread to see if DW is a "friend" or closely related maternal parent of mine

OMG - I'm so glad I checked my threads I'm watching.
What an update.

But glad it all turned out well and I hope your DF has a fabulous wedding day (without that batshit crazy woman there)
