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).

This is better than coronation street!

Tinyhumansurvivalist · 24/01/2020 20:42

I have just read both threads... As someone in a similar position who is currently being slagged off all over the town we live in for taking a stand against being treated like shit, I salute you OP!

Hold firm and I hope your dd is OK!

I'm having Ringtons hot choc and choc covered ginger biscuit.

Whiskeychaser · 24/01/2020 20:42

Might be gripping to some, but this is my life atm and I'm actually quite upset underneath the anger as I did think we were friends, and I'm sure my dd felt the same about her friend too.

The fact that she was prepared to throw it away just to make a point, says it wasn't worth much to her, which hurts.

My dd came out alone & said the other girl was kinda ok with her during club, but had said they were staying behind to talk to the club leader so my dd left her to it and came out on her own.

We didn't wait and have just driven straight home and I've now sent the mum a text simply saying that we're obviously not going to resolve this so I'm sure she'll understand that I'm no longer prepared to give her dd lifts there or back, and that I wish her luck in making alternative arrangements, as I know her dd enjoys attending.

She hasn't yet replied, and I'm now pouring myself a strong drink.

Jeez, give her time to get in and get a brew for gods sake!

KidCaneGoat · 24/01/2020 20:43

Thanks for updating. I’d be upset by the whole thing too.

RoseyPeas · 24/01/2020 20:43

Well done OP

ZigZagIntoTheBlue · 24/01/2020 20:43

Phew well done @Whiskeychaser you're super strong!

TreesSandSea · 24/01/2020 20:44

Well done. Now block and live a more rewarding life without her.

Oh, tell her you won’t look after her dog first.

Kn0ckOnTheDoor · 24/01/2020 20:44

i would guess they stayed so it wasnt awkward to walk past your car OP. And if the girl was ok with your DD I hope its over and you can move on Flowers

AriadnesFilament · 24/01/2020 20:44

Good. You deserve a drink - brew or stronger. I hope you can relax a bit now. And that your husband is doing a good job of keeping your spirits up.

BanKittenHeels · 24/01/2020 20:44

Fair play OP.

Princessbanana · 24/01/2020 20:44

I definitely wouldn’t have text her, but fair play for sticking to your guns.👌

ConnorRipley · 24/01/2020 20:44

Omg OP you need to drop it now.

She’s obviously decided to sort herself out so leave her to it.

candative · 24/01/2020 20:44

How upsetting. It didn't have to be this way.Thanks

SmellMySmellbow · 24/01/2020 20:45

Well done OP. And agree that people tend to be a little too OTT with their glee at the drama on these threads, forgetting there are real people and real feelings involved. I know you're feeling sad but you should also feel proud of what you just modelled to DD. A very good example indeed. Flowers

EarringsandLipstick · 24/01/2020 20:45

I'm sorry Whiskey
It is your RL & of course you'd be upset. You've done the right thing. Hope the 🍷 helps

Dhalandchips · 24/01/2020 20:45

Unnecessary stress, no one needs that kind of shit. Enjoy your drink and try to relax before bed.

PGtipsplease · 24/01/2020 20:45

Brew awaiting update

Hellbentwellwent · 24/01/2020 20:45

Whiskeychaser, get herself a stiff whiskey and whack on some shore telly, she’s not worth the aggro. She may we’ll come grovelling back with an apology in which case fine, but she needs to realise that you as the favour giver call the shots. She’s benn fortunate to have you offering lifts for the last two years and should be saying thank you and not giving you feckin grief.

Make it a double, you deserve it!

Washinglinewench29 · 24/01/2020 20:46

Incognitomum don't forget the mallows....love a ringtons offer!

elessar · 24/01/2020 20:46

Well done @Whiskeychaser - you've handled this very well.

I'd probably just send one last message confirming you can no longer mind the dog, then put her out of your life

mbosnz · 24/01/2020 20:46

Oh you poor thing. You and DD have had a hell of a couple of weeks. Make that strong drink a double. You've been strong, dignified and gracious, throughout. As has your daughter.

olympicsrock · 24/01/2020 20:46

Big hug OP

BumbleBeee69 · 24/01/2020 20:46

well done OP.. Flowers
