So it's one of my oldest friends birthday (40th) coming up. She lives in London - I don't so was planning on travelling up for the weekend to join in her celebrations. However I found out today there is a chance a big job interview will be happening the following week. This would be a big thing for me - I'm a single mum to two kids and this job could have a huge impact on my family life in terms of our financial security. The interview would also require quite a lot of preparation. As soon as I found out I sent her a message to say this was happening and therefore might not be able to make it but I'd call her tonight.
I've had a really arsey message back with the implication this is just a cop out. I'm afraid as I'm also dealing with a sick child and childcare issue I lost my patience with her and now we've had quite a falling out about it. AIBU to think my friend should understand what a big deal this for me?
