i have an old friend and we have been talking about meeting up for ages. she has no children, i have one 20 month old and am separated and going through a divorce, im having a rough time. she's not that close a friend. anyway, she has been texting about meeting up and i thought i should make it happen, so i told her i was free a particular day (she had told me previously she is often off on that day). so she said yes thats grand, ill come round at 7. i said that evenings don't suit me with ds, (bedtime routine etc) so would afternoon suit. she said she would try to make it straight after work, for around 6.
but i was not planning on her coming for dinner - this might sound stupid, but i find being a single parent hard enough as it is, i think im in survival mode at the minute! i don't need the stress of cooking for someone else and trying to do hostess (Which i am totally crap at even without a dc) at the minute. so i have asked her can she meet me on the weekend instead. i feel a bit bad about it, but i feel like she just invited herself round for dinner... i would never say ill come round at 6 without being invited to someones house for dinner. is it me thats crazy? i don't want to seem rude but i get stressed about stuff like hosting dinner. anyway sorry this was long!
