OK, have (childless) friend (F1)from uni who have stayed in touch with. We also have other friend with 2 year old, also from uni (F2). About 3 times a year F1 and F2 and I and attendant husbands meet up for dinner.
We are due to meet up in a fortnight at mine for a Saturday bbq. A few days a ago I get a text from F1 saying sorry have double booked, can we make it Friday (day) or Sunday instead. Well, Friday is stupid as DH works and she KNOWS this, as indeed does F2 and her DH. Sunday no go for us as have church commitments. So then she says, can we move bbq to a couple of hours earlier so we can go to 2nd bbq as well. I say yes.
Text last night saying, can we make it the evening instead. I DON'T want to do a bbq at mine on a Sat evening as am bit zealous about DD's bedtimes (aged 1,2 and 5) and just KNOW this would end up with them running riot until late, which I don't want, as they will be exhausted the next day and don't do late nighte well. I know this from experience.
I am peeved because she seems to think everything needs to revolve around her and HER social life, when actually F2 and I very rarely get to go out and see friends due to babysitting hassle. Obviously that's our choice, but is it too much to expect her to note a date (agreed 2 months in advance) and stick to it?
I want to text back and just suggest cancelling, can anyone suggest a polite way of doing so that at the same time makes her realises I am peed off?
Oh yeah, and aibu?
Then get text last nigth saying, actually can
