AIBU to want to just distance myself from flaky friends?
Myself and DH were hosting a get together last night for friends. Had invited 8 friends and all seemed enthusiastic, all confirmed within the last couple of days. I went out bought a load of carefully considered expensive food and drink only to get a phone call from 2 couples yesterday before the event backing out for fairly weak reasons. (One said her DH had a cold, don't know why she didn't come alone, the other said their train wasn't running- cab never mentioned and she would have needed to get a cab from train station to ours anyway).
This is why I hate hosting things- you put so much thought and effort in and people let you down without a second thought. I had to throw out quite a bit of food I had prepared that would just have gone to waste (sent as much with the guests as possible). It just irritates me and I think it's so rude.
I'm not saying if someone is ill or has an emergency they shouldn't back out, but when you know someone has gone to a lot of effort is it really so hard to stick to your arrangement?
