This mum is having a major issue with one of her child’s friends.
Letting your child’s friends stay over at your house is a lovely thing to do, but it is also an inconvenience.
The sheer responsibility of it alone can cause extreme stress, especially for you, but it’s something your child constantly asks for once they reach a certain age.
One mum has run into an issue with one of her daughter’s closest friends. She explained that she is constantly overstaying her welcome at their home, but she doesn’t know how to confront her about it.
“This girl frequently comes home from school with DD and I feed her, care for her, she sleeps here, etc. when her mum’s ‘busy’.
The mum said the girl is nice, but she can be disrespectful at times.
“She refers to me as her second mum which is slightly odd but somewhat endearing. It’s probably why I let some of her behaviour slide.”
The mum said her friend is constantly outstaying her welcome, but she doesn’t know how to talk to her about it.
She said the girl is constantly coming over when her mother is busy. Recently, she told them her mother was out of town on a date so she had to sleep over. However, the girl’s mother never asked if it was okay if she stayed over.
“We are both aware that her mum’s off with a new fella thus she needs the childcare and so sent her kid here.”
The mum gave them money to spend on food on Saturday evening.
They headed to a local pub for pizza, but the other girl’s mum was there.
“My daughter calls later on to ask for a lift home. I say no, it’s still light and you’re a ten-minute walk away, see you shortly. She chats about their evening and says they asked her friend’s mum for a lift home to ours but she was ‘too drunk’. When they arrived at the pub she was already there drinking apparently.”
“Am I unreasonable to think that if you’re going to palm your child off on someone else all weekend then the very least you can do is get out of your car, come to the door, and say thanks for having my child all weekend?”
She said the girl’s mum is being extremely selfish, but what do you think?
