To think it’s odd not to check on your children at all?

[Summernightsmummy]

I’m looking after a friends 6 year old and 9 year old kids for 3 nights (from yesterday afternoon) while my friend goes to London with her sister to see some west end shows/musicals for her birthday (my friends birthday). Her children have been with me since 1pm yesterday and my friend hasn’t messaged or called me even once to ask how her children are. I’ve messaged my friend with how her kids are and messaged her when the kids wanted me to tell her that they said night last night and she hasn’t even read the messages but she has been on WhatsApp since. I couldn’t imagine going away for 3 nights and not checking how my child (I have a 5 year old) is like this and checking that my child is ok. AIBU to think it’s odd not to check on your kids at all to see how they are? I think it’s odd behaviour from my friend not to check how her children are and not to check that they are ok.

If she read them its almost worse - her kids wanted to talk to her and she ignored it

Any updates? What happened when she picked the kids up? Did she apologise?

Indeed. I mentioned this previously. I read text messages via my notifications. They can sit in messages for days.

You'd wonder you didn't try to contact via social media, since you stated both her sister and herself were active...
I think you're jealous that they were off on their jollies and you weren't..

If your tried through messages and calls that’ve been ignored, you’ve satisfied she’s not dead as she’s updating her SM, I should think a “fuck you” attitude is highly appropriate and no more chasing is done?

Or would incessantly chase someone who is ignoring you? I mean clearly looking after her children is not enough to get “special treatment” or being answered.

She should at the very least acknowledge the updates you’re giving her. Is she totally ignoring you?

Very very strange.
