I know I know I know. I am most likely BU.
We are a group of 4 girlfriends. 3 of us have families, and we enjoy good food and some wine. The 4th has a career within The Church, hardly ever cooks, she does not drink, and she is very critical of children and our parenting of our children, and our life choices. The 4 of us together is therefore often strained. Unless we go out for a meal, and three of us have some wine and manage to make light of / ignore her comments.
One of them arranged a dinner out for the four of us, as I am once again leaving the country. The 4th have just come back from holiday and decided to cook dinner at her house instead. It is of course lovely of her to offer.
But I was really looking forward to a nice meal out. It has been two years since we last time went out for a meal together. And the last time she invited us over for a meal, she served stale bread, left over Christmas ham that had gone sour, and a couple of green lettuce leaves.
And none of us feel comfortable bringing a bottle of wine to a teetotaller. (which is maybe why she offered to host it at hers)
Her job means that she is hardly ever home, has nothing in her cupboards, and eats out all the time.
I know, it does not sound like a very great friendship at all.....
And I am an ungrateful cow. I know.

AIBU?
to be disappointed that my Leaving the Country dinner out has been changed to Dinner IN.
