To not have taken her DD to Pizza Express?

As a favour for a neighbour, I was taking her DD to Pizza Express with my DD (her friend)

We were all set to go and then I couldn't find my bloody bag! Found it. Went there, went to go in and they announced they didn't have any pasta left

My friend's DD started crying and was really not happy. She said it's all pointless, and that she wants to go

So we did go. And I took them to KFC. They were happy with that

When I dropped her home, she told her mum. Next thing I know, I get a text asking why I said I'd be going Pizza express when I just went KFC? And if she'd known I was only going for fast food, she would've taken her to the cinema with the older DD (I did this as a favour so she could spend some time with her older DD for her birthday)

AIBU to be upset? Not even sure how to reply! I didn't and won't say her DD had a tantrum and that's why we didn't go

That's a bit mean of your neighbour to say all that to you. You took them out and you only changed places because her daughter threw a strop. So she should have a word with her kid. Some people are never happy. I'd be upset if I were you too

You think letting a parent know how their child felt about something whilst in your care is 'grassing' Confused Are you 11 or something?

*want to

You seem scared of this woman. Are you always taking her dd for playdates and treats?

Well to be fair, she thought she was going out for pasta. Wouldn’t it of been better to take them somewhere else for pasta instead of a kfc?

Nowhere else to go for pasta really

I'd choose KFC over soggy pasta any day of the week

Why's everyone saying the 6 year old threw a tantrum? She was just upset by no pasta.

Pizza Express is random for 6 year olds anyway.

littleducks · 28/12/2022 19:50

This is nuts, of course she should know her DD cried. It's not grassing it's a factual account of truth. And without knowing child hard to know why they cried, might have been over hungry waiting while you found bag or something. So better parents know and can prepare better in future

I'm glad you told her the truth in your text. You've done nothing wrong but that neighbour of yours is a bit gobby.

I didn't want to grass on a 6 year old and start moaning that we had to go elsewhere because she was upset Blush

Why? It’s not grassing on a six year old it’s explaining the facts, like an adult. Ffs

What a twat. I'd send her the bill now if it were me.

Elena567 · 28/12/2022 19:53

Do she always think the sun shines out her child’s arse ?

Really? No Frankie & bennys, no pubs, no Pizza Hut? Nowhere?

I'd be telling her to fuck off tbh and that was the last favour I'd do. How bloody rude

SpicyFoodRocks · 28/12/2022 19:53

You both sound a bit ridiculous. You for not just knowing to be honest and polite with the neighbour, and having to make a big deal and post here. And your neighbour for being ungrateful and rude.

The dramas of other people’s ordinary lives fascinates me.

winterchills · 28/12/2022 19:53

Just read her reply! What a cheeky bitch!! I would never speak to her ever again

Has she been on the vino?!

No bloody way would she speak to me like that! She asked a question. You have her an answer. CF. Do not look after her daughter again

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 28/12/2022 19:54

Neighbour sounds mindlessly aggressive.

harrassedmumto3 · 28/12/2022 19:54

What a wimp the kid is! And no wonder, with a mother as precious as this.

What the actual fuck Shock

I wouldn't be looking after her child again!

Lexi868 · 28/12/2022 19:54

I can honestly see why you didn't want to mention her daughter. She is unreasonable. I'd personally ignore her from now and don't do her anymore favours

Tacocatgoatcheesepizza · 28/12/2022 19:55

BabyFour2023 · 28/12/2022 19:53

Really? No Frankie & bennys, no pubs, no Pizza Hut? Nowhere?

But why does that even matter? She was kind enough to take her neighbours daughter out for tea. If it was my child I really wouldn’t be bothered where they ended up.
