I had a message this morning asking if my daughter would like a sleepover at a friends house tomorrow.
I was at work and didn’t get to answer it until this evening.
I have accepted the invitation but been told they have made other plans now as I didn’t reply.
AIBU to think this is unfair?

Unfair in what way, if you don't hear back from a person you're perfectly entitled to make other arrangements

If they know that you can't read your phone in work, then yes. Surely there'll be another opportunity, though, it's only a sleep over.

I’m not sure what you mean by it being unfair? Unfair on who?

If I was trying to make plans for tomorrow and hadn’t had a response all day I’d probably assume it had been ignored so would make other plans.
