To think this mum is cheeky?

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.

Opps, sorry. I hadn't seen all the responses

SmellsLikeFeet · 03/10/2020 19:46

No way, that's your special time with your daughter

ladygracie · 03/10/2020 19:46

You can’t do it anyway as they will be in different bubbles surely?? My school wouldn’t allow this and it’s the perfect excuse if you need one.

Mangofandangoo · 03/10/2020 19:47

I'd be tempted to ignore the message to be honest - how rude!

CrazyOldBagLady · 03/10/2020 19:47

What a cheeky cow, some people have some nerve! No way I would do it but I would send a polite reply back since she is a neighbour

MiniCooperLover · 03/10/2020 19:48

Ah she's not just cheeky she's a proper Cheeky Fucker !!!

Smallsteps88 · 03/10/2020 19:48

I wouldn’t even respond to that.

TableFlowerss · 03/10/2020 19:49

That ones got more from than Blackpool!!

InfiniteSheldon · 03/10/2020 19:50

I'd reply 'I'm not sure you have sent this message to the right person, this is xxxx we only met once a year ago hope you get it sorted'

TableFlowerss · 03/10/2020 19:50

front

WindFlower92 · 03/10/2020 19:51

If she's noticed then surely she's at home at that time??

TableFlowerss · 03/10/2020 19:51

Also, I wouldn’t even bother replying. You owe her nothing.

YellowBeryl1 · 03/10/2020 19:52

@WindFlower92 she said she has changed her working hours

Cheeky sod!!!

I'd just say sorry, that doesn't work for us.

Some Mums are total dicks!

underneaththeash · 03/10/2020 19:54

I wouldn't even bother replying.

june2007 · 03/10/2020 19:55

Maybe she is desperate fro childcare? Are you sure the afterschoolclub isn,t full? (Ours gets full.). I would say no on the bases that you don,t feal you know each other enough.

Bocadilla · 03/10/2020 19:55

Super cheeky!! A Mum once asked if I could have her DS each Tuesday at 6.30 so she could get off to work . Her attitude was astounding as though she were bestowing an amazing favour on ME! She said “ you’ll need to be up and ready to give him breakfast and he’s gluten free!”

BloggersBlog · 03/10/2020 19:57

@Bocadilla Shock wow how could you turn down such an opportunity?!! What was her reaction when you (I presume) declined?

CatEatCatWorld · 03/10/2020 19:58

They'll not be in the same "bubbles" will they? Wink

YellowBeryl1 · 03/10/2020 19:58

@june2007 I havent had any issue booking dd into after school club, but its possible she is having problems. Surely her dh could help, or a friend

@Bocadilla that is seriously cheeky Hmm

Don’t ignore it or she might corner you at the school gates (more awkward to say no in person).

Viviennemary · 03/10/2020 19:59

Cf. Text back and say I take it that this is a mistake as I'm not a registered child minder.

BorderlineHappy · 03/10/2020 20:00

Shes a CF and obviously everyone else is wise to her.

You just know nobody else will do it,so shes chancing her arm with you.

No.No explanations,excuses or telling her about after school club.Dont make it your problem.

YellowBeryl1 · 03/10/2020 20:00

I sent her 'sorry I can't as am busy with dd at that time, after school club is great though'
