Second thread.

Thanks for all the support.

Dreading them coming out od school because I can see my dd getting it in the ear from them, and I'm really feeling for her.

Link to first thread to follow in a minute (when I figure it out).

I don't understand why the CFmum doesn't just put her DC in a taxi to arrive at yours for 1800?
The DC can then walk when it's light enough.
Stand by your statements OP.
You are in the right.

Ragglesnaggle · 24/01/2020 18:18

Please don't give them a lift home and say, "I only do favours for friends and you game made it quite clear that we're not friends".

Ragglesnaggle · 24/01/2020 18:19

Ah bollocks. HAVE made it clear, obvs 🙄

Georgiah · 24/01/2020 18:20

Only 11mins until op arrives Grin

PirateWeasel · 24/01/2020 18:20

You've been a lot more patient through all this than I would have been... And your DD is a star!

mbosnz · 24/01/2020 18:21

God I hope they're not there. I can imagine them stomping out to the car, with faces like cats' bums, expecting to be driven home while behaving like the stepsisters out of Cinderella.

Nomorelaundry · 24/01/2020 18:22

Boots there is absolutely no scenario in which this friendship should ever continue. Even if this bitch comes crawling on her knees begging for forgiveness.

CallmeAngelina · 24/01/2020 18:22

If she's not there tonight, it doesn't necessarily mean she has left the club for good. Maybe they might just take a break for a week or two waiting for you to cave.

elessar · 24/01/2020 18:23

I think it's good they weren't there, and I don't believe they will be at the club either - they want to 'punish' you by not turning up, which is ridiculous but clearly what she's trying to do.

Hopefully that means you can draw a line under the whole thing and never have to talk to her again (other than to tell her you won't be minding her dog!)

BaolFan · 24/01/2020 18:23

If they are there, then I wouldn't be taking them home. If she can manage to sort out transport there then she can sort out her own journey home as well.

PickwickThePlockingDodo · 24/01/2020 18:24

Phew. Now you can tell DD that she will never have to endure another car journey with her bully

Not if they turn up at the club and expect a lift home!

incognitomum · 24/01/2020 18:28

Blimey do you think they'd expect a lift home? Brass necked if so.

PickwickThePlockingDodo · 24/01/2020 18:29

Well she did before didn't she, cheeky mare.

Knittedfairies · 24/01/2020 18:30

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the mum doesn't claim to have been at
OP's house at 6, but OP had 'left without [her]'

AintNobodyHereButUsChickens · 24/01/2020 18:32

Ooh waiting for tonights instalment!

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 24/01/2020 18:36

Please don't let her unsettle you or gaslight you or your DD.

She is the CF. Repeat as needed!

SunshineCake · 24/01/2020 18:40

Team #WhiskeyChaser and youngWhiskeyChaser.

Please don't give them a lift home. That will really draw a line under this situation.

SmellMySmellbow · 24/01/2020 18:42

Wondering if her DD is there via cab or not...

BumbleBeee69 · 24/01/2020 18:43

Christ this is awful.. I feel for your Daughter OP... terrible that she is being ostracised Flowers

followingonfromthat · 24/01/2020 18:44

Well I think you're being a bit rigid and presumptous

I think I might be reading a different thread to you.

Maddison12 · 24/01/2020 18:48

Wow just read the two full threads! Well done on not caving OP.
Honestly can't believe it's got so out of hand though.
'Traffic to bad/ haven't got time to pick your dd up anymore, can you make sure she gets to mine at 6 for her lift?'
'Yeah no problem, see you at 6!'
Honestly, how easy would that have been! What is wrong with some people

Pajamagirl · 24/01/2020 18:49

Wow
In bloody believable
Stay strong Op!

humblesims · 24/01/2020 18:52

Well, I was in the dont text her camp but actually I think you were right to. It gives a final chance for her to come to her senses without losing too much face and I think its more than generous on your part.
Her silence speaks volumes and you have acted above and beyond.
Block her now and move on.

FrancesFlute · 24/01/2020 18:53

They've shown their true colours with their behaviour.

EarringsandLipstick · 24/01/2020 18:54

I'm catching up on the day's events now ...

@toomuchtooold

I LOVE your post, absolutely brilliant (& true!)

I strongly suspect that each and every one of you that's posting "I'd text her and tell her not to let the door hit her on the arse when she fucks the fuck off to the other side of fuck and then fucks off some more" are exactly the people - my people - who in real life would silently fume about this and then end up picking her up at her house at 5.45 for another 3 years

😂😂😂😂
