DStep Sister is 26, 10 years younger than me, & we've always been close. Since I had my DS 2 years ago she's come round most weeks for a play and stayed for dinner. Occasionally I wish it would occur to her to bring a bottle of wine or pudding, but I enjoy having her (and DS adores her) and so don't really mind. Although I'm a SAHM and on a tight budget so sometimes it's a bit of a struggle.
At the beginning of the year I asked if she'd babysit on 2 occasions this year, she readily agreed & I gave her the dates. I've reminded her periodically since then. As I have no childcare I very rarely go out.
Last month she told me she now can't do the September date as she's mistakenly double booked herself. I was hurt and upset as it's a very good friend's wedding who I've known for 18 years, and now DH can't go. I told her this and she just said sorry she couldn't change her plans.
The other date is tomorrow and she was due to work from my house (she works from home 1 day a week). She just called me to say she doesnt think she can do that now. She's worked from home to visit her boyfriend all last week & her boss is now not happy about tomorrow. So we have tickets for a concert and now 1 of us can't go. It would have been my 1st evening out alone with DH this year as he works away a lot. I had hairdresser booked (haven't been able to go for months) and was so so looking forward to it.
I know it's not the end of the world and I still love her and don't want to fall out with her, but AIBU to feel really let down.
