The first time she cancelled on me when we'd made plans to meet I thought nothing of it - these things happen after all, people can't always plan for all eventualities. The second time she cancelled I felt a little annoyed but again didn't think it was a big deal and made alternative plans to meet. The third time, well quite frankly I was annoyed. Reasons for cancelling always seem to be that shes made plans to meet other people and forgotten rather than her dc are ill or any other emergency. However, after thinking (probably too much) about it I decided to give her another chance and we made arrangements to meet up for lunch tomorrow. I sent her a text in the week confirming and she said yes. Told my dd who got v excited as she loves playing with my friends ds.
Just had an email from her now saying sorry she's going to have to cancel tomorrow as shes meeting a friend. Feel gutted . Had already turned down the opportunity to meet up with someone else because meant to be meeting this friend. I just don't understand whats happening. Met her at my dd playgroup and have known her for about a year now, up until recently we've met regularly and always had a great time, our dcs get on well too. I've tried to be a good friend and never let her down and yet all of a sudden she doesnt seem bothered about letting me down to meet up with other people. After 4 times of being let down I think I should just not bother making the effort. I feel embarrassed too. Other friends ask if I want to meet up and I say sorry can't I'm meeting x but then x cancels and I and dc are left without plans (don't want to then tell other friends I'm free incase they think I'm just using them).
