I have double booked myself . I said I’d have my friends kids for her, but now I have booked a
holiday. I feel so guilty
i cant change the holiday :( but didn’t want to let my friend down

Had you forgotten you had agreed to have her kids on those dates or did you book the holiday knowing it was going to mean letting her down?

How on earth do you just randomly book a holiday without checking your prior plans. If there's no way of cancelling the holiday which would be the best option given you made plans to your friend first then you need to let your friend know asap although I can't see how it won't impact your friendship going forward.

Well you’ll just have to fess up and give her enough time to organise something else - there isn’t really any other advice anyone can give is there? I’d just say it was the only time you could all go or something

Why did you book the holiday if you knew you had plans?

what was the reason for you having her kids? And when is the holiday?
don’t feel bad, just tell her of your mistake

Yes it was not a nice thing to do - you knew you had your friends kids and you did it anyway
