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.

Don't know about the dog, going forward the exW would be the one who shall not be named. The mere mention of her name would make my blood boil. She's clearly a selfish witch of a woman who cares not how much trouble she's caused as long as she's happy. I wouldn't leave her in charge of a goldfish never mind a dog and DSD Angry

This is ridiculous.

UnGoogled · 27/08/2021 15:59

Bloody Nora.

Billybagpuss · 27/08/2021 16:01

Wow, and the average kennel is only £20-£25 per night.

DancesWithTortoises · 27/08/2021 16:01

If her DM gave her permission to wag school then that's a safeguarding issue.

I hope your DH isn't going to lie for her. If she decided to do it she has to take the consequences.

JacquelineCarlyle · 27/08/2021 16:02

@Cuddlyrottweiler

I actually don't think DSD should be punished in any way. It's not her fault her mum fucked off on holiday and left the dog alone.
I agree. Poor DSD.
LittleBiscuit09 · 27/08/2021 16:05

So DSD has skipped school, with mums permission presumably so she can go get her rocks off with new boyfriend...

Parent of the year goes to

BingeOnChocolate · 27/08/2021 16:07

Need to book mark this for the continuous saga of the dog haha

Hertsgirl10 · 27/08/2021 16:08

So SD was in on this with her mum all along then 💆🏼‍♀️💆🏼‍♀️💆🏼‍♀️

Take the dog to the bloody police station snd say you’ve found a stray, hopefully it’s micro chipped and the shit mum/dog owner can get her arse home to collect it.

Also make sure SD doesn’t pull a trick like this with her mum again, it’s totally disrespectful and you’ve all been manipulated, by the pair of them.

Belindabelle · 27/08/2021 16:09

I am in Scotland too and if my child didn’t turn up to school I would get an automatic text. The mother must have called her in sick this morning to avoid this.

Horst · 27/08/2021 16:09

I duno if I agree with no comeback at allfor the dsd. She at least will need a strong talking to as although looking after the dog is the commendable thing to do with her mother not getting the correct support in place she shouldn’t be lying about it or trying to cover up for her mother either.

She still led her father and step mum to believe she was going to school. Even if it’s a lie by omission it doesn’t set a good tone.

Redshoeblueshoe · 27/08/2021 16:09

I need to stock up on wine to read all this later.

Muchasgracias · 27/08/2021 16:09

I feel sorry for DSD.

If she has skipped school of her own volition its likely because she is worried about the dog being alone all weekend except for a couple of walks a day.

If she has been told by exW to skip school and walk dog she probably knows it's all wrong and is feeling awful about lying you and her dad.

She has undoubtedly picked up on all the aggro this is causing and doing her best to keep all the adults happy.

MrsPerfect12 · 27/08/2021 16:10

Insane!

Threewheeler1 · 27/08/2021 16:11

Shit, it get's worse!
The absolute cheek of ex is jaw dropping Shock

HermioneKipper · 27/08/2021 16:13

Whaaaat! This is awful. Poor dog and poor step daughter. Call the rspca

Natsel84 · 27/08/2021 16:13

Omg can it get any better ... I've bought wine AND nuts 🤪 no doggy treats though

ProfessionalWeirdo · 27/08/2021 16:14

If DH's ex has told DSD to skip school to look after the dog whilst pretending to DH and OP that she was at school, then this will at least show her that liars always get found out.

ApolloandDaphne · 27/08/2021 16:14

Blimey. I wonder if DSD has been told to skip school to walk Voldemutt by her DM. Shocking!

Changethetoner · 27/08/2021 16:14

They left at half past five in the morning, but she was spotted walking the dog at 11.30am. Sounds like she went back to bed.

SenselessUbiquity · 27/08/2021 16:15

!!!

mummykauli7 · 27/08/2021 16:15

Placemarking so I don't lose this thread

frerecoler · 27/08/2021 16:15

Oh dear...

GetMeOut22 · 27/08/2021 16:16

Wow. That's appalling. Speak to DH first so you're on the same page.

Monstertrucks · 27/08/2021 16:16

This is a crazy situation. All of which could have easily been avoided if ex wasn't so entitled and assumed she could just drop the dog on you.

DSD is in a no win situation. But surely missing school isn't the right way to go about things. With or without ex's permission
