So, our neighbours sent their daughter around to come into our house and play with our daughter so they could go to a street party in our development with five other families. I sent her home.

Was IBU?

My OH is in a job where full PPE is required and I have a mum who is almost 80 who I look after.

Looking out at the street party, they flocked together and even had a massive Dominos delivery which they shared.

Madness.

I love Dominoes mmmmmm.

Yanbu

Haha Birdie, you beat me to it! YANBU OP, but now I really want a bloody massive Dominos delivery too! I wouldn't be sharing with the street though.

Sparklingbrook · 09/05/2020 17:24

Of course you weren't BU, you know you weren't.

TimeForACheeseSandwich · 09/05/2020 17:24

Your neighbours are idiots. Are they relentless Thursday clappers and curtain twitchers as well, by any chance? It seems to be a type.

TheGreatWave · 09/05/2020 17:25

Yeah that's quite the CF behaviour even in non covid times.

letsdolunch321 · 09/05/2020 17:25

Damn right sending her back, cheeky fuckers expecting you to look after her !!!

custardbear · 09/05/2020 17:27

Yep CF behaviour whatever the situation is - twats!

bloodyhellsbellsx · 09/05/2020 17:28

Do people just actually send their children to the neighbours house so they can go on the piss?!

But I too love dominos...bring back the mozzarella sticks!!!

Sparklingbrook · 09/05/2020 17:34

Was DD not invited to the Dominos gathering?

PhilCornwall1 · 09/05/2020 17:37

I'd have been out having a Dominos!!!

Persiaclementine · 09/05/2020 17:38

They are CF

Mummyoflittledragon · 09/05/2020 17:45

And so the cheeky fuckers have already started. Shock

TinRoofRusty · 09/05/2020 17:46

I'd have sent her home even without the Covid-19 thing. Cheeky AF to think you're a drop in babysitter for their convenience.

They aren't the sort of people we'd hang around with. We have our own friends.

They didn’t ask you beforehand?

Icanflyhigh · 09/05/2020 17:56

We had a massive dominos order on our street last night. It was delicious.
Fuck sharing it though, I do not share dominos!!
YANBU to send the child away. They should not have sent her to your house.

GreyGardens88 · 09/05/2020 17:58

YANBU. You can't fix stupid.

Weallhavevalidopinions · 09/05/2020 18:00

YANBU

Free child care so they can get drunk! Glad you sent her back - what a cheek

WorraLiberty · 09/05/2020 18:01

Sad there's no voting button on this thread

NotaFreeloader · 09/05/2020 18:01

And in a couple of weeks they can get their dominoes delivered to the hospital
This is why the virus will keep spreading

HollowTalk · 09/05/2020 18:02

Have they done that before? I'd think a non-friend neighbour had had a bang on the head if they did that!

VladmirsPoutine · 09/05/2020 18:03

That bloody Susan from no.47 even brought out her deck chairs from the garden! tut!!

Strange of them. Wasn't the street party supposed a family thing?

You clearly know yanbu.
