I had a work trip on mon and Tue

Tue was a 12 hour day and was up since 4 working

My friend text at 9.30pm to let me know she needed to drop her soon uo at 8am
The next fcking day to be looked after

I text back that I was not even home yet

She didn't respond

7.40am next day knock on door
She dropped her son off

I was so angry/tired/ bewildered to go bat shit

SHE DIDNT TEXT AFTER TO EVEN SAY SORRY OR TO THANK me

I'm so done with letting this shit happen

Sorry I just need to vent

Next time she asks I need a firm response

No doesn't seem to work as she has been known to come up anyway and say she has no one

I'm a single parent and I work from home

She has dropped her kids to me many times while I work from home

Fcking cheek

If she appears on your or your sisters doorstep again with the kids in tow, just don't answer the door

Reminds of when my friend had this open weekend where people came to stay in tents in her garden (I didn’t go, I don’t camp). One couple asked her to look after their toddler whilst they popped to the shop in the town about 10 minutes away.
They came back 7 hours later, after refusing to answer the phone, after deciding to have a day out as ‘they never have time on their own’. Apparently toddler had never been left before and cried all day. They didn’t think they had done anything wrong.

My stomach turned reading this

You won't do anything to stop this woman dumping her children on other kind and generous people (like your sister or yourself) and you've just said your sister won't do anything either?
If you won't do it for the mother in this situation, why wouldn't you step in and do something for her poor kids??? They didn't ask to be in these situations but they are clearly being left in them because their own parents are such shitty people.

Do it for their kids.

If you don't do anything, then by your own inaction you're also part of the problem here.

Flip sake

Why are folks insisting the OP "report her".

To who, and for what?

Woman leaves children with grown adults!

To social services.

She routinely and regularly leaves her kids with people then doesn’t turn up to collect them - picking them up many hours after she should have.

That is not ok. Just because the other people are adults, it is absolutely not ok to just decide you’re going out for brunch (presumably drinking) and turn up 9 hours later when someone said they’d have them for one hour.

That is a safeguarding issue. A childcare setting would call social services if you did that.

Not a thank you

Or an apology

Appears she has the hump as my sister explained to her family the trouble that she caused on Saturday

🤷‍♀️

but did your D sis actually say / text anything to CF?

Like 'You absolutely took the piss today. I will never be available for babysitting for you again'

No

Nothing

She was wanting to see if CF would get in touch first

Total silence so hopefully that's an end to the cfery

And yes me being direct weeks ago would have worked wonders too 😐🙃

@thisisasurvivor

I'm sure that CF has realized that, as sisters, you and DSis have gotten together and compared notes. I doubt either one of you will hear from her again. She'll now be looking for someone new to impose on.
