Is she being a CF?

Friend who has twins the same age as my DS (2) suggested the other day that we go to a soft play area on Monday to catch up/so the boys can tire each other a bit. I said yes, and suggested that afterwards she and the twins come to my house for lunch afterwards. All is agreed, looking forward to it etc etc.

She has now messaged me saying this 'Hi Lexi727, looking forward to seeing you at softplay on Monday. Since you have suggested that the boys and I come over to yours afterwards anyway, would it be okay if I just dropped them at yours afterwards and then got all my housework/shopping done and then picked them up later in the day?' Then went on to send a second message about 10 mins later just saying how hard it is to cope with twins and get everything done round the house.

I haven't replied yet, but am I right in saying wtf? I also have a 6 week old DD, and I'm not sure if I can control 3 rowdy two year olds?!?! I invited them under the assumption she would be there too, and it was very clear when I suggested it that she was to come as well. I even said I would get in some tetley tea bags for her! (She only likes tetley tea, weird but whatever)

AIBU to say fuck no, or should I just be a good friend and allow her to get her cleaning done whilst I try and entertain three 2 year olds as well as look after DD?

I'd just stop replying to her and cut her a wide berth.

Aeroflotgirl · 22/09/2018 16:57

Oh god, just delete her and move on. Were they hurtful to you. Life is too short for that kind of rubbish. She did not like being caught out. If she did need a couple of hours as she was finding it difficult to cope, the last person I would ask is a mother with a newborn and a 2 year old.

Nanasueathome · 22/09/2018 16:58

I can’t see the latest text updates

eddielizzard · 22/09/2018 16:58

Clear sign pointing to a CF is when they start getting arsey if you say no. A friend would just say 'of course! What can I bring for lunch?'

FTFF · 22/09/2018 16:58

Well she's a massive knob.

Does she not know that insulting people won't exactly encourage them to help her out....CF

Lovemusic33 · 22/09/2018 16:59

I would write back “yes that’s fine, when you have finished your housework you ca return the favour by taking my kids for a few hours so I can do mine?” CF indeed.

RandomMess · 22/09/2018 17:00

CF indeed, you having any other child over is nothing to do with her or anyone else!!!

BasicUsername · 22/09/2018 17:00

My god, she just gets worse! 😱

Her attitude is appalling.

RockinHippy · 22/09/2018 17:00

😱

Wow, having seen her other replies...

RUN for the hills, she's a very entitled CF

& yep, the hun was grating on me too 😂

planetclom · 22/09/2018 17:01

Love how her useless husband makes you the bad guy when you don't want to help her out.

dustarr73 · 22/09/2018 17:01

Wheres the new text messages.

coffeeneeded · 22/09/2018 17:02

@lexi727 sadness! Too far for me. 😩

She is being a MASSIVE cf though. I've offered to take the toddlers of my friends with younger babies so that they can have toddler free time with their baby. But I would never think of dumping my mess in their lap!

TicketyBoo83 · 22/09/2018 17:02

I can’t see the new texts either

Aeroflotgirl · 22/09/2018 17:02

She should be angry at her useless husband, who is the kids father, not you.

HolyMountain · 22/09/2018 17:02

I'm not seeing any texts after the first one you posted.

Socksandshoes · 22/09/2018 17:03

I can’t either Sad

lexi727 · 22/09/2018 17:03

I'll copy and paste new texts for those of you who can't see!

She is a massive CF!

Aeroflotgirl · 22/09/2018 17:03

I think op hasen't but the recent texts as she said they would be outing her.

LeftRightCentre · 22/09/2018 17:03

Can't see the latest messages, either.

Lemontart25 · 22/09/2018 17:03

Nope me either! Sounds like she is steadily getting worse though, if that is even possible.

Glittertwins · 22/09/2018 17:03

I have twins and have never dumped them on friends like that, it's not on.
At the risk of sounding smug, we have cleaner and do online shopping so not that hard to cope.

Fruitcake13 · 22/09/2018 17:05

Wow! Just wow!!! Confused

eddielizzard · 22/09/2018 17:06

Very good reply. I can't believe her nerve. YOU'RE selfish??? Jeez. And the hunning is driving me demented. If there's mass murder committed in B&Q you'll know that was me.

ny20005 · 22/09/2018 17:06

Wow ! She sounds delightful !
