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.

@lapun34

Why won’t you have anything to do with the dog? Is he difficult?

I mean this doesn't sound particularly great does it? Right there in the first post in the thread...

@lapun34

Why won’t you have anything to do with the dog? Is he difficult?

Because she told DH's ex she didn't want to.

Because she has a phobia about dogs from a childhood incident.

Because she has newborn twins and a toddler to look after.

Because she said NO Confused Repeatedly see reasons above Hmm

Hope you had some time to yourself today op and pup is happy at mils

DeeplyCheesedOffWithLife · 28/08/2021 23:41

Great thread - had me Rowling in the aisles at some of the puns, witch were excellent! I'll keep reading for a spell, just to see what happened, but I imagine you're dog tired and have gone to bed!

SukonthaM · 28/08/2021 23:45

How do you nominate for classics??!!

ElGuardiandenoche · 29/08/2021 00:12

@SukonthaM, at the bottom of the OPs post there is three dots on the right. Click on those. Select Report. Write a message in the box saying that you want to nominate the OPs threads for Classics and send to HQ.

It's really not hard to work out if you read the OP's posts. Not even everyone else's, just hers.

And even if you can't be bothered to do her the courtesy to do that, the answer is "she doesn't want to" - and that's all there is to it.

Just thought I would give you all one last owl.

Voldemutt has had a shriekingly wonderful time so far with MIL and will be dropped off at platform 9 3/4 to be returned to its rightful owner at dogwarts tomorrow.

DH and ex had a wand duel and sorted it out between them. I won't dumblebore you with all the details. She didn't seem overly bothered. Bit le'strange if you ask me. Maybe under a confundus charm? She defo had Solomoly swore she was up to no good in the first place

On another note I have been outed with this thread and had someone I know ask me about it. Luckily she's another member of the order and is not planning on going to the ministry about it. Thank fuck.

Tonks to everyone who joined in with the banter and gave me some good laughs over the last few days. hopefully all the dementors and death eaters have been returned to askaban although, I fear have just apperated to other threads

I will now be slipping on my invisibility cloak and taking off on my nimbus 3000 and resume training for the Triwizard tournament.

I wonder if I will look back on this thread wonder if voldemutt was that bad.

And il think
"Even after all this time ... Always"

You must have excellent newborn twins and toddler to be posting so much.

I couldn't find my arse from my elbow with one newborn! Mind you, he did have horrific colic which made it worse.

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 29/08/2021 08:21

Brilliant update op! Always

ProfessionalWeirdo · 29/08/2021 10:43

Well done, OP, for keeping us so well entertained.

Dogwarts? BRILLIANT!!!

DoveOfPiss · 29/08/2021 13:06

Nominated for classics. Thank you for these threads, I haven't laughed so much for ages 😂😂

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 29/08/2021 14:13

Fabulous last post!

It would appear that you will have to be extremely clear with DSD as well as ex that there is to be no repeat of this situation. EXTREMELY clear.

I still can't believe she got away with it (ex, that is) - so she won't see anything wrong with what she did because she suffered no consequences (unless of course her house is still shitted up because DSD didn't clean up on Friday, but I bet she did)

bilbodog · 29/08/2021 14:25

Brilliant update OP - good luck in the triwizard tournament!

GrandmaSteglitszch · 29/08/2021 14:43

I didn't have 2 brain cells to rub together when I had a newborn - and you have twins and a toddler!
Well done all round, OP.

Enough4me · 29/08/2021 17:01

I'm so glad you stuck to your original and well made decision OP. Sometimes strong women have to say no repeatedly to situations that are not fair, and not give to pressures to be people pleasers, and it is so worth it.

ThePluckOfTheCoward · 29/08/2021 19:16

Just read your last post Op. Brilliant 👏👏

I'm not a Harry Potter fan but that was... glorious.

Same here. I’m no Harry Potter fan (my DDs are getting into it now, though), but you’ve given me a lot of laughs the last few days, OP. 🤣🤣

I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter and I've loved this whole thing! Thank you.

LookItsMeAgain · 30/08/2021 08:07

I do hope that the outcome from this weekend is that the rightful owner of Voldemutt realises that she has cast an Incendio charm as no one, not even MiL will want the hound now, and all of her bridges are now up in smoke...all for the love of her jollies.

As you were.

MzHz · 30/08/2021 09:36

Yes but she had her dd to manipulate into doing her bidding band lumping dog on others

MaggieFS · 30/08/2021 13:21

I know there was Harry Potter galore in that update but I really thought we'd hear a bit more about the exchange with the ex.

UnGoogled · 30/08/2021 13:47

OP has been outed, she's not going to share any more info now.
