To be dreading lunch tomorrow?

I have a friend who I met several years ago when I was going through a pretty hard time. She was very kind to me and we saw each other often after that. Then she got religion and was confirmed. I went to her confirmation. During it, she had to tell the congregation about something good she had done. She told them about how she had helped me which would be fine if it wasnt for the fact she really over egged it. I was according to her practically destitute and suicidal, had no friends and she'd basically swept me up from the gutter and saved me. This was a gross exaggeration and I was mightily pissed off with her for a while. I told her how I felt and she just brushed it off. Since then I've had another baby and she is desperate to meet her so I've relented and arranged to have lunch with her tomorrow with my dd. I am dreading it and can feel myself getting stressed already. We have totally opposite views on politics Brexit etc and she thinks she has the high ground due to her relationship with God. In the past I have redecorated her house, lent her clothes etc so it's not all one sided. We used to be close and that makes me feel sad. Would you go?

I dont think Jesus will want me for a sunbeam anytime soon.

😂😂

Great reply OP, only she’ll probably tell her church friends you clearly need rescuing again. Hmm

GrinGrinyou've sorted that one perfectly op!

DarklyDreamingDexter · 29/05/2019 07:58

Loving your reply OP! 😂

LellyMcKelly · 29/05/2019 08:05

Outstanding work, OP!

JellySlice · 29/05/2019 08:10

Frankly, I think Jesus would rather have sunbeams like you, the one who put aside hurt feelings to give her a second chance - than like her, who used you to make herself look good during a celebration held in his name.

Hear hear!

"Go fuck yourself" blush. Still I guess that's a conclusion!. I inwardly cheered when I read that. FANTASTIC OP GrinWine

In a world of MN where everyone is busy passive aggressively not saying what they actually mean, good job OP. Your subtext is positively texty!

Walkamileinmyshoesbeforeujudge · 29/05/2019 10:33

You rock op!!

Tillygetsit · 30/05/2019 17:24

Janet she is very proud of being too busy to go on MN. She wouldn't know what MN was!

Oh...and no reply yet. She's probably too busy telling her new friends all about it I thought my DP would be annoyed with me but he's been laughing like a drain as it's very out of character for me. Maybe I'll do more of it judging by your really kind support. Mother next...Wink

Good for you. She'll have her church group to pick her up off the floor after that response Grin
I find since joining MN I have managed to say no to things that would otherwise have made me annoyed at myself for agreeing to. Wish I'd joined years ago!

DizzySue · 30/05/2019 17:41

Well done OP!

Hazardtired · 30/05/2019 19:48

I've started saying "sorry im busy" thanks to mumsnet! Keep up the swearing OP it's good for the soul Grin

Nothing worse than an evangelical Christian. If they’re not judging you they’re trying to convert you. I wouldn’t go.

Fromage · 30/05/2019 19:57

She'll be praying for you, you know. In between fucking herself.

Still, God forgives everything from profanity to masturbation, so you may yet be headhunted for sunbeaming duties.

Excellent response, I think she won't bother you again.
