To think my Friend/ neighbour is a meany by not lending us her sledges?

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

Her sons go to boarding school so aren't here to use them.

I asked very nicely and she said she wouldn't in case they got broken or if someone else asked for them?

TBH I don't think I would have lent the sledges out either. I am really reluctant to lend stuff out because things do get damaged or forgot about and it sounds lke they belong to the children.

Someone has asked if they can borrow a load of stuff that belongs to DS1 for a school trip as it is not something their DD will use after the trip and they didn't want to go to the expense of buying it. I felt mean saying no.

Haven't read the whole thread, but remember your thread last week complaining about someone objecting to you and your dcs playing in THEIR garden.

You sound awfully pushy tbh. I have a friend who's a bit similar, always asking favours which is a bit off.

You are not being unreasonable for hoping that people will be kind.

I can't believe OP did all these random and totally selfless acts of kindness... but then tells the whole of mumsnet about them!

God that made me laugh! Clearly she craves recognition for them or she wouldn't have bought up that she raised money for a children's charity or did an online shop

It's like those people at Mass who NEED everyone to see they are putting in £20 It's hardly as selfless as she makes out or she wouldn't think that an online shop equals a sledge borrow etc. If you do the good things but need everyone to know about them and praise you they are not really done for the right reasons are they

Srictlykatty i think youve mispelt your name ......strictlycatty would be a better name- stop having a 'go' at DWP.

hahahah I was just up to believe the good deed is reward in itself. Why do you need other people to know about it???

If you want something back then it is not done for the right reasons. I personally find that a really horrible attitude that if you do 3 'good' things then you are 'owed' return favours

just brought up rather

I do believe the OP only said about doing those nice things because another poster accused her of being all "take, take, take", not just to get recognition for it...

Yes she did only mention deeds to stick up for herself that's all.

I always think people on here are so very brave I tell people the truth but always in the way I'd do it to their face as my friends well know.

Although been stung before on AIBU thread so usually stay clear and ask RL friends their opinion.

I will never dare to post on AIBU after the flaming I got - it made me thank god i used a 'new name' I was accused of trolling
