Advice please regarding visit from a childless friend who gets annoyed at my kids.......

[ssd]

that's it really.

friend coming over who can't understand why I can't sit and drink wine and lie in the sun all afternoon as I'm frantically chasing my kids about.

should be looking forward to seeing her but I'm not.

feel stressed already.

what does she do/say?

Just tell her.

well tough. this is your life. if she doesnt like it, she doesnt need to come over to visit. you can be invited to her place?
i cannoot talk on the phone without everyso often having to say something to my kids. like, stop beating each other up! if someone minds, they call back later whent he kids are asleep..

stick pins through her condoms

Leave the kids with her and go home and drink wine and lie in the sun all afternoon. She'll soon learn.

If she is coming to your home,then frankly,it is your shout.
I had a friend (note past tense) like this.
Similarly,I was less than pleased by her copnstant obsession with new clothes and shagging Nigerian drug dealers,er sorry,law students.

We parted ways.

Tell her to like it or lump it. Friends should make you happy not stressed. Do know what you mean though - I had some mates like that, until I went to have 3 kids and fell out of their orbit totally

I think what makes it even harder is that you'd reeeaallly like to be lying in the sun drinking wine all afternoon too!

Stupid bloody inconsiderate whatsit though I would say. It can be hard to stay friends with people who don't understand kids and their needs.

I'm at a point now where I am considering 'giving up' a couple of friends who just don't seem to get it. Fed up with feeling let down and diasppointed by them.

I dream of having someone in my life who says 'You stay there and I'll sort out the kids. You have to do this all the time'. Wouldn't that be nice?!

Anyway, don't have any advice...ummm, get paddling pool out, soak children and whisper in their ears (before her visit) to crawl up on her scorching hot body with their damp, cold little bodies.That'll really annoy her.
God I hate it when they do that!
