To not have taken her DD to Pizza Express?

[h2Oo]

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

She sounds awful - you took her daughter out for the afternoon & she was upset at no pasta so you sorted out an alternate option. Who paid?

It's not a favour I would ever offer again tbh with that reaction.

Just reply with

"You're welcome. I'll never be having her again,"

And stick to that

OMFG! I'm actually angry for you. I'd literally say that she had a melt down when we got there, ruined the evening for your DD and not to worry because next time she can go to the bloody cinema because she's not invited again!

Bloody cheek of some people!!!

Am I the only one who’d knock on her fucking door and tell her to fuck off?

(I’m very hormonal.)

Absolutely speechless. What a rude woman.

You are definitely not being unreasonable. What an outrageously rude woman.
She is likely to reply something rude back. Don’t back down and be ready with a strong plain speaking response.
And don’t take her daughter out again.

This

Pizza express is also junk so wtf is she on about?

I would just text back a crying laughing emoji but then I don’t mind a fight.

I would have texted back "You are welcome."

Are you offering? 😆 🤣

@Lexi868

Honestly - if you’re in SW London OP PM and I’ll head over.

😄😆

I'd be tempted to correct all the grammar and spelling and send that message back to her.

In reality, I'd probably delete her message and spend the next 10 years avoiding her. I'd probably move house, too.

Omg op is she actually a friend?

I'd be inclined to reply

I took her out with us because you asked for time alone with Gab. Betty cried in Pizza Hut and didn't want to stay. No blame, she's 6 and was disappointed. She enjoyed KFC. This is not how you thank someone for doing you a favour.

Your neighbour sounds incredibly rude, entitled and ungrateful. I'd be cooling any "friendship" extremely rapidly after that abusive message. I'm shocked anyone would speak that way to another parent who had taken their child out, paid for their meal, and done them a favour.

I’d be telling her in no uncertain terms that, yes it was her DD’s fault and if she was that concerned about what her DD was eating she wouldn’t have palmed her off on you and that it will NOT be happening again. She’s CF of the highest order.

Dear lord that women is unhinged..please do not go near her child again . It's not worth the grief.

And if she'd known I was only going for fast food, she would've taken her to the cinema with the older DD

"If I'd known your daughter was going to cry because there was no pasta at Pizza Express I'd have refused to take her. Seems we're both unhappy with the favour I did for you."

I'd have no patience with this shit.

What's wrong with you? Why the interest. Unless you're the mum? The KFC has been eaten! Far better than most fast foods. (That's what I tell myself anyway)

This is a bonkers response, I wouldn’t trek round hunting for a place that does pasta either. I’d offer what is nearby but then again I know none of my friends would respond in this way, they’d appreciate I took their child out.

Your first word should be no if she asks you to take her dd out again. Don’t waste anymore time on this non friendship.

Well, after that reply, I'd be telling her to pay her DD's share of the KFC (without really thinking she will pay) and it's the last time I do anything for you, you ungrateful fucking bitch! I won't even take a parcel in for you again.
None of this passive aggressive "you're welcome" nonsense from me!😆

• Pizza Express - also fast food/junk
• I'd be very embarrassed if my child behaved like that when going out
• I'd bloody love someone to take me out for a KFC
• That response would signal end of friendship, based on spelling/grammar alone.

She sounds very rude OP. Even her initial message about why you didn't take her to PEX like you said you would.

Some good suggested responses on here.

You can see where the 6 year old gets her entitlement from.
