We Kid You Not Childfree Forums

and I do mean everywhere. Bars, restaurants, adult parties...

Her minion is now 6 and has been a demon on wheels as far as I can see because her mother lets her do whatever she wants. Whenever I'v been unlucky enough to spend time with her, I have had rocks thrown at me, been spit on and jumped on. I'v also had things stolen from my house, had dirty fingerprints on my windows been shrieked at and been dominated by this brat. (the mom lets her do it and encourages it)

Anyways, I have since drifted apart from the mom, especially after I witnessed her talking about how great motherhood was to a mutual friend who had just told her that she had experienced her third miscarriage.

I still have to see her and her hellion a few times a year because we are in the same group of friends for the last 20 years or so, and when we get together as a group, she is always invited. Even if I plan it, I have to invite her otherwise people would wonder where she was. (No one else has yet admitted that they have a problem with her bringing her hellion to our adult get togethers, even though we're not allowed to talk about certain things and have to watch our language when she's around)

So tonight I have another dinner planned for 15 people, and the mooomie and her calf will be there, and I need to try to sit AWAY from them at the table. Just venting, it makes me really angry!

I am thinking it is time to insist on a few things in your home. Like common courtesy and leaving fingers off of things. Your house - your rules! Is it possible to sit down with the friend or visit on the phone and let her know the new world order?

You know, I was an only child of older parents and they took me along many times to bar-b-ques and parties. I took books, played with the host family's pets, talked politely to anyone who would sit down with me. I was not perfect, but I knew how to behave and conduct myself in other peoples homes!

Also, when my parents went out to nightclubs and dancing, they hired a babysitter! When I was 4-7, they got home far too late for my bedtime!

Why don't you try NOT inviting her: "Oops!" and see what happens.

Yeah, really. If you are FORCED to be around this obnoxious person, even when YOU are the one planning the events, are these people REALLY your friends?

This woman and her brat sound awful.

If you still want to be friends with this woman, I would make it VERY clear to her that all future invitations are for her only, NOT her and her child, who I assume you're not inviting but she drags along, anyway. Breeders seem to think that if they're invited somewhere, their kids are automatically invited, as well. If she refuses to respect you and your property, cut off contact with her. Life's too short to deal with idiots.
