To think this mum is a cheeky fucker

My dd (8) stayed at a friends last night. I nipped round there in the day to drop some clothes off as she needed shorts, while I was there my dd asked if 'they' meaning the girl and her two sisters could stop at ours tommorrow (meaning today) I said oh I'm not sure yet it's school Tuesday and we have a lot to get sorted,plus dad is working tommorrow and left it at that.

Today comes I don't hear anything off the mum all day. I went out to walk the dog came home and she had left all 3 girls 6,7 and 9 at my house with all their stuff! Dp was busy in the garden and told the mum I would be home any minute and to wait as he didn't know what was going on, she said oh I'll leave them here with you and fucked off.

I got back to 3 bags of overnight stuff on the hallway and 3 girls that were here for a bloody sleepover wtaf not once had I said they were stopping or confirmed anything with the mum, I got a Facebook message an hour later saying she would pick them up at 2 tommorrow!

Now I wouldn't have minded if it had been one of the girls fair enough I would have said fine, but why the fuck would you drop all your kids off to my house leave them with my dp who you don't know for shit and not even check with me?

I have 7 kids myself including a 2 year old and a 5 month old so now have 10 kids in my house, where is the common sense?
Surely when my dd asked if they could sleep the mum should have said well not all of you as it's a bit much.especially a 6 year old who darent even go to the loo on her own. None of these kids have ever been to my house before either.

They all went to the park earlier and I answered a phonecall off the mum to one of the girls I said I'll get her to ca you back, she said "oh it's alright I'm going out" so basically I'm babysitting 3 kids for her while she fucks off out on the piss.

Yes I should have told her to come pick them up as I had t agreed to a sleepover but I felt bad for them...the mum shouldn't have left them here in the first place though aibu to think she is a cheeky fucking bitch?

Understand why you didn't take kids back, they have been caught in situation of their mum's making and your daughter could well suffer the brunt of things from the other 3 kids. E.g. your Mum isn't very nice she wouldn't let us stay. Yes you have been taken advantage of,next time your daughter has been invited send as many of your kids you can. Can only tell other mum that 2 pm isn't on has to be 10 am you have other folk to deal with and need to be organized before 2pm. And, tell your daughter if she wants to have sleepover again can only be for 1 child and only when you have spoken and AGREED with other mum.

Come on OP. You need to grow a backbone!

Was she taken by surprise with your daughter staying over the night before? Or is it something that happens a lot? That's the only reason I can see someone doing something like this.

Worraliberty. You are far to bossy. Butt out!

Erm, you do know how chat forums work don't you?? Grin

Yes, the other mum is a CF, but seriously - you and your OH have to take full responsibility for having them. He shouldn't have let her walk off and you should have phoned her straight away to say there had been a misunderstanding. It also seems you had plenty of opportunity to send them back. Every opportunity you had to challenge the mum, you just went along with everything as tho it was hunky dory whilst effing and blinding about it on here. I also don't know why you would send your daughter and her friend off a house where you didn't know someone was home (I'm assuming they are only 9). Honestly, it's not like this woman has some kind of hold over you - I don't know why you couldn't have just said no.

And as others have said, I wouldn't in future be allowing my child to go for a sleepover at someone's house who has such a blasé attitude towards childcare! Although, I wouldn't let my child go for a sleepover at anyone's house that I didn't know really well anyhow.

I think two 9 year old could walk to a friends house to see if her mum was home without much trouble!
