So DH DS and I arranged to meet another family we have known for years from baby classes, today in the park at 10, been arranged for three weeks.
They did not turn up and we waited around in the horrible drizzle for about half an hour, DH thought maybe their youngest was having a longer nap so we then waited til 11, then I text to ask if they were coming down or if we got the wrong park.
Nothing until 12 when she said she's been busy with her DH family and wasn't going to be able to make it. Two hours after we'd arranged to meet. They'd even text in the morning to confirm plans.
DD gets on with their kids v well, we've met up at certain points over the years, DD had also made their kids cakes and was v excited to see them so she was disappointed.
Now I thought this was a bit rude and I was fuming, but I lost my mum last year unexpectedly and find it quite hard to get out and about with people still (horrible diagnosis, died a few days later), which they know so not sure if I'm being over sensitive due to this... so Is it rude or AIBU?

Yes, extremely rude of them.

That's beyond rude. Who in the right mind does that. I'd have said it was rude if they'd cancelled just before the time you met but to not have the decency to message you til 2 hours past your meeting time is shocking. And her excuse makes it even worse

I wouldn't be rescheduling

Absolutely rude! If she managed to message you two hours after the original meet up time, why couldn't she message you much earlier on to explain her situation?

Fucking rude.

Unless there was a mega crisis (threat of imminent death) in her DH's family, that was rude.

IncompleteSenten · 05/05/2024 18:01
