CF part two. Voldemutt and the philosopher's bone

Can't actually believe this has needed a second thread.

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4331756-CF-DSD-DSDs-mum-and-dog

For any new stragglers jumping on for the ride I will try and summerise.
DSD has a dog at her mum's. Dog pisses and shits on the floor.
I'm up to my tits with my own kids with a toddler and newborn twins.
DH ex asked me to walk dog, I said absolutely fucking not.
Been lies and twisted truths about who's looking after dog.
DHs ex has fucked off on holiday anyway.
dSD has taken responsibility for walking dog but need DH to ferry her back and forward
Dog has now been renamed as voldemutt
DH has been told if voldemutt crosses the door he will be drop kicked out the door.
Once again to reiterate I'm having fuck all to do with voldemutt and plan to just sit back and watch the drama unfold (while drinking wine)

So where did we leave off?
DH took DSD at half 5 to her house to walk the dog before school no problem. The plan we were told was that a nice caring neighbour was going to walk voldemutt while DSD at school.

I was out with twins today with a friend with the buggys and we went a scenic route (this was about half 11) and who do I see walking voldemutt??????? DSD.

DSD should be at school (were in Scotland) so I'm guessing that DSD has dogged school in order to be there to walk voldemutt and there was never a neighbour involved. Now DSD didn't see me and I haven't mentioned it to her or to DH yet but I have full intentions of asking her how her day at school was when she gets home and then firing a million detailed questions about her day to see at what point she admits she was not at school.

Dogged school 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Most excellent autocorrect!

Balonzette · 27/08/2021 15:14

I am loving this. Grin

whatfreshheck · 27/08/2021 15:15

What!!! This is ridiculous now! This poor kid with a mum who values her own leisure time over her daughters education!

MaggieFS · 27/08/2021 15:16

No way. That's shocking. Do you think DSM knew about this or did DSD just fancy a day off the tell NDN not to worry?

REignbow · 27/08/2021 15:17

Bloody hell Shock

My guessing is, is that the ex has planned this and has probably phoned the school excusing her absence!

Whattheschitt · 27/08/2021 15:17

Ooooh this has taken a turn! grabs wine let it unfold.

diddl · 27/08/2021 15:17

Wow!

It's not a surprise though is it?

Is it easy to get to school from that house?

Wonder if her dad just left her thee & she said she'd walk dog, get breakfast & go to school?

SunshineCake · 27/08/2021 15:17

I do feel a bit sorry for the DSD. She has put the dog before school and will get into trouble for it.

AllotmentTime · 27/08/2021 15:18

Had DSD ever skipped school before, do you know?

GAHgamel · 27/08/2021 15:18

Ooh this has the potential to get very -entertaining- messy. Has her Mum given her permission to bunk off to look after the dog, or is this her own initiative?

diddl · 27/08/2021 15:19

If SD had been honest about no care for the dog sooner her Dad might have helped her sort something out.

Kiduknot · 27/08/2021 15:19

Don’t have words to type.

Just what I was about to ask.
Pleaseaddcaffine · 27/08/2021 15:21

Phone school or rather get her dad too. My parents would have killed me for that

Waspsarearseholes · 27/08/2021 15:21

I bet the CF mother phoned her daughter in sick this morning. There never was a neighbour. Did step daughter bunk off yesterday as well then, do you think?

Sorry, of course I mean DSD's Mum, not DSM!

Unsuremover · 27/08/2021 15:21

Ofgs. I followed the whole of the last thread seething for you but this is ridiculous. Clearly 2 parent is in on this because someone’s had to explain her absence to the school. I hope it’s exw because you don’t need your husband lying to you.
I would phone your husband and tell him what you say, rather than try and catch out dsd. Someone needs to be the adult and it was always going to be you unfortunately.

GinIronic · 27/08/2021 15:22

Rubs hands gets 🍿

diddl · 27/08/2021 15:25

On the previous thread you put that neighbour would be walking the dog at weekend-was that a typo?

Is school near & SD might have gone in a break?

KarlUrbansWife · 27/08/2021 15:26

OMG 😮 She skipped school!

SpacePotato · 27/08/2021 15:26

Would the school not contact her father if she hasn't turned up for school?

ProfessionalWeirdo · 27/08/2021 15:27

The plan we were told was that a nice caring neighbour was going to walk voldemutt while DSD at school.

Hmm. Thinking about it, DH's ex lied to you about her lack of dog-care arrangements having fallen through. She then lied to MIL about the revised arrangements. What's the betting that she's lied about this too?

RacistAngst · 27/08/2021 15:28

Wow
This is a new low. I hope your dsd’s mum hasn’t put her in that situation on purpose!

thenightsky · 27/08/2021 15:28

I bet the DH left DSD at home to walk the dog and get herself to school. Except she's decided not to do the school part. I'd not have been able to stop myself approaching her with my hands on my hips and a WTF look on my face at the lunchtime walk Shock
