Cheeky fucker texting my dh

Dd has a friend at school. I arranged a play date for her and her friend. Turned out I was working so dh picked up the girls and took them out. We’ve never met the girl or her parents before.
Dh said the mum asked him in for tea but he declined. They chatted at the door. Her husband works abroad.
Dh works away from home down south, we are up north. He’s home at weekends.
After the play date she texted dh the usual thank yous.
She’s texted dh today and asked if whilst he’s down south if he could meet her brother and get a box of her things in his car to bring to our home so she can pick up.
Dh replied and said he was four hours away from her brother so won’t be able to do it.
She has since texted him again with approx distances from train stations etc.
I’ve told dh I don’t want a relationship with her, I’ve never met her and it was just to let the kids play. I don’t want her texting my dh for favours and have snapped at dh wanting to be the nice guy and help out, he thinks it’s funny but I’m not happy she’s texting my dh.

Aibu to tell him to stop replying to her?
I now feel uncomfortable arranging anything again.

@FineWineTime

Yes she's a CF but really, OP give your head a wobble.
How 2005.
toocold54 · 15/07/2021 19:03

I’m not sure what you’re getting so upset about?!
She hasn’t said anything rude or inappropriate. I don’t think she was that cheeky to ask if she thought she might be close by. Obviously she might become a CF in the future or she could become a good friend to your DH.
I’d just let him get on with it either way.

LimeRedBanana · 15/07/2021 19:03

The OP and DH looked after the CF’s child - not the other way around…?

GreyhoundG1rl · 15/07/2021 19:04

2005 is oddly specific... Was it a time of great social change?

Bluntness100 · 15/07/2021 19:04

Apparantly one should never talk to someone else’s husband, not unless forced to, then all conversations must be under duress, minimal and all words reported back to wife. Any attempt at further communication must be permanently stopped.

MilesOfSand · 15/07/2021 19:05

Why’s she giving him train times?

RadandMad · 15/07/2021 19:05

My rule of thumb, which have never let me down, is that if someone asks for something unreasonable early on in a relationship, they're only going to get worse further down the line.

FlaminEckVera · 15/07/2021 19:05

@Runmybathforme

You sound a bit jealous, little bit controlling. I wonder what the response would have been if the OP were male . He’s an adult, why are you so annoyed ? Let him handle it.
WTF? Why do people ask this STUPID question? What if the person were male? Of COURSE it makes a difference. If it's a female or a male.

@Mojitoqueen

There is no need for a rude, narky response
The only rude response I have seen so far is this from you. 😳
LimeRedBanana · 15/07/2021 19:07

@MilesOfSand

Why’s she giving him train times?
Because she’s a weirdo CF who actually thinks he’s going to haul ass 4 hours away by train to pick up her crap.

And for some reason, the OP has decided that this clueless weirdo CF is some sort of a threat. Spoiler: she’s really not.

OhDearMuriel · 15/07/2021 19:07

She's a complete piss-taker already and you hardly know her.
She won't take no for an answer!?
People like this are usually trouble.
It's a complete no no her texting your DH - she's clearly got no boundaries.
I'd have absolutely no hesitation in fucking her off.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 15/07/2021 19:07

Oh come on OP, she's being a cf but you can't trust your dh very much if this is threatening you.
Do you mean he finds her requests funny, or he finds our reaction funny?

EmergencyHydrangea · 15/07/2021 19:12

@FlaminEckVera

Mojitoqueen Of COURSE YANBU. And anyone saying you ARE, would be reacting exactly the same as you if the same thing happened to them, so ignore them putting you down and dismissing your worries, and calling you 'jealous' - they would ALL be pissed off by what's going on.

What are you talking about? I wouldn't give one single crap about someone asking my husband to do them a favour

WorraLiberty · 15/07/2021 19:12

WTF? Why do people ask this STUPID question? What if the person were male? Of COURSE it makes a difference. If it's a female or a male.

It really REALLY doesn't if you trust your husband and I genuinely mean that but then again @FlaminEckVera, you've already stated...

So you absolutely lack the ability to even believe (let alone understand) that not all women are like you and the OP.

Until you can understand that, you'll be trapped in the position of believing everyone else is telling lies.

Eviethyme · 15/07/2021 19:13

She just let a man take her kid away? I wouldn't be so trusting eff that. I know woman can abuse blabla but still would feel more comfortable

HeyDemonsItsYaGirl · 15/07/2021 19:14

Does she have a rabbit you can boil?

Killahangilion · 15/07/2021 19:14

OP, is your DH allowed to have female friends who are not necessarily your friends?

Jealousy and possessiveness are not very nice traits and regardless of this school mum texting your DH asking for a big favour, I think you need to address your anxieties about your DH and other women.

I was cheated on by an Ex but I learnt not to hang my anxieties on DH as that’s not fair to him. He’s never done anything to deserve unjust treatment.

Let your DH deal with the school mum and learn to trust him.

@Seesawmummadaw

Is she pretty?
OP doesn't know... did you miss that bit GrinGrinGrin

If trusting my husband and not overeacting when a woman texts him makes me a cool girl then I'm ok with that.
