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.

That is some weapons grade cheeky fuckery! Bloody hell!

HappylandToysEverywhere · 24/08/2017 00:19

When is the Wedding OP? Wish I'd found these threads earlier as I totally saw it coming. Could've warned you! I bet you anything she turns up at wedding with both of them. Regardless of being uninvited.... People like her have a crazy sense of superiority. She believes she is 'in charge' of any given situation and it always will be up to her what happens..........always

GingerAndTheBiscuits · 24/08/2017 00:47

Somewhere in the (nethuns) universe there will be a thread about a bridezilla and her dastardly hen do organiser. She would have got away with it if it weren't for that meddling why!

Tandia · 25/08/2017 08:35

Wow, only just caught up on the best thread ever. Can I just say you have handled all of this beautifully OP.

I am so nosy, I would love more details of the conversations between B2B and DW. I'm intrigued to know what she said about why they were there and exactly how she thought any of her behaviour was OK?! If you do get more details from B2B please fill us in!! And since she knows about the thread, please wish her a wonderful wedding from all of us! Wedding thread needs linking here, so we don't miss it!

REP22 · 25/08/2017 13:30

@whyhastherumgone this thread is incredible! What a deluded fool DW is - I pity her DH and the child. I thought you and the bride dealt with her really well.
HOWEVER - I didn't get location details for the barn, so missed out. You will therefore re-stage the entire hen do for the benefit of my doglet Gisèle. She is afraid of water, so the hot-tub will need to be covered at all times, and anything feathered should expect to be denuded. She has a thing for Labradors, so a roomful of them will be provided for her entertainment.

In all seriousness though, I do hope this selfish loon doesn't turn up and hijack the wedding.
Keep smiling!

Just placemarking shamelessly in case run comes back to update about the wedding Grin not that I'm hoping for drama on someone's wedding day of course...

coriliavijvaad · 26/08/2017 06:14

This crazy behaviour makes slightly more sense now we know she's a Younique-bot. She will have been scheming to turn the hen party into a makeup-selling opportunity, probably egged on my whatever other bot recruited her in the first place. Presumably there's a whole set of pages in the bot handbook about how to maximise sales via hen parties, and as the whole setup is similar to a pyramid scheme she will be under pressure from her recruiter to exploit this opportunity.

Slightly suspicious that DW may not attempt to attend the wedding, but when the newlyweds retire to the honeymoon suite they will find DW with her DH and DC already fast asleep In there.

RebootYourEngine · 26/08/2017 09:08

I had forgotten about this.

OMG what a cheeky biatch. Shock

TheNoseyProject · 27/08/2017 17:07

Wow. I do though feel soooo much better for feeling pissed off when I turned up to s hen night and found maid of honour had brought her newborn. Who she brought also to a very loud bar and also took over the living room so there was no communal space. The wedding followed. The venue had neither enough chairs or enough food. Ergh!

TheNoseyProject

Why? Why would anyone do that??!

GottaGetThisDone · 28/08/2017 12:26

My flabber is well and truly gasted at DW Shock
When is the wedding OP?

TheNoseyProject · 29/08/2017 15:44

I know @jg1 ! If I had realised how the wedding would be I wouldn't have taken dh and the kids to the wedding and stayed over at an air bnb I would have gone on my own and kipped on a friend's floor.

The hen party was extra annoying as it was in a city I love in a pricey house and we did nothing at all particular to that city. We could have done the whole thing the same in the brides massive house and saved all of us £100+

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 01/09/2017 11:11

OMG - just been directed back to this thread from another one - so glad though, I would have missed the mega update otherwise! That is EPIC.

I was going to say I cannot believe the barefaced cheek of her, and then saw that she was a Younique seller and thought "ah, that makes sense now!"

Does anyone normal get on the Younique bandwagon and stay normal? Or does one have to be batshit to start with? Or maybe it turns you batshit!

Anyway - I'm glad that she's been uninvited from wedding, I mean, what DID she expect? Hope she doesn't rock up to that with DH and toddler in tow!! Shock

IfYouHappenToSee · 02/09/2017 12:13

Reading this thread, and the original, has been the best use of a Saturday morning in a long while! Grin

Wondering what will happen at the actual wedding now.

MrsHandles · 02/09/2017 18:05

I think it's safe to say that we're all eagerly awaiting the wedding this is not a placemark...

Curlyhepburn · 04/09/2017 03:11

I am late to the party for updates, had forgotten tbh , I can't believe she did that. Good on btb. Wedding update soon op.

Lauramac1 · 06/09/2017 15:24

Wedding day must be approaching - I'm thinking it might be this weekend. Looking forward to the next update!

altiara · 06/09/2017 22:39
