To think this mum is cheeky?

[YellowBeryl1]

About a year ago I went on a quiz night with a couple of friends, we bumped into a woman and her dh who live down the road from me, I didn't know them well but we exchanged phone numbers. A couple of times in the weeks that followed I suggested meeting up with her as we live down the road but each time she was busy. No problem, I left it.

Today she whatsapped me out of the blue, to say she noticed I collect my dd (year 2) from school on a Monday (the other days I pay for after school club, I work FT).

She asked if I can also collect her dd every Monday from next week and she will collect her from mine at 4pm (school finishes at 3pm).

Albu to think she's really cheeky? I don't even know the mum except for the one conversation a year ago. Her dd is year 6, mine year 2, they don't know each other, I dont even know her dds name!

I havent replied yet.

Very cheeky. I'd say no!

Standard mumsnet “sorry that doesn’t work for me”

Just reply ‘sorry, that doesn’t work for me’

I’d say no. I like to help people out but that’s your time with your own child. You aren’t free childcare.

Say "I cant sorry we go to a club for DD straight from school on a Monday"

Just say no. No way. No fucking chance on earth. Heeeeeeell nooooooooo.

Yeah she’s being cheeky.
I’d say no.... if you feel you n

I'd be tempted to text back "sorry who is this, I think you have the wrong number?" and if she's daft enough to explain and still ask say no. That said, surely you're not allowed to do this with current covid restrictions anyway, do perfect excuse if you don't just want to say no. (Just saying no is fine!)

Very cheeky. I'd just ignore the message and block her. No need to reply. No need to have anything to do with her again.

Wow!! That is mega cheeky!!

What castlecrasher said!!

Noooooo she's a chancer. Thinks your born yesterday

I wouldn’t even reply. She’s barely an acquaintance.

Say no sorry, you must be mistaken as I'm not a childminder...

I also feel sorry for her dd, why not pay for after school instead of dumping her on a mum and younger child who she doesn't know???

"I cant sorry, but how much are you paying as I have a friend who may be interested"

Then wait for the "Ah no it's ok, thanks" reply from her

Definitely no. That's really cheeky. I'd just say 'i' m afraid I'm not able to help out, hope you're well, best wishes'

I wouldn't bother replying.

I will tell her no. Thanks for the comments!

Yes I'd be tempted to say, sorry, who is this?
But definitely a no!!

She knows i know who she is as I replied to her first message. I'll let her know after school club is great, dd goes 4 times a week

Really weird tbh, rather than cheeky. Who would leave their kid with literally a stranger?!

Great response from @CastleCrasher

I wouldn't reply, and when you see her say I presumed it was meant for one of your friends?

Just say no. You’ll end up tied to it.
She’s a seriously CF!
