To think it's a bit shit to do this or am I over sensitive ATM?

[unsurevalentine]

Good friends invited me and my DC?s to stay this weekend, many months ago.
To watch the Royal Wedding etc etc.. My OH is away for a long time with
the forces. I am really struggling with this atm and am trying to keep as
busy as possible and turned down several other invites after I accepted
their invitation. Kids are really excited about going.

Had a phone msge today saying that basically they have had loads of other
friends saying in the past few weeks and would like a quiet weekend and
would we mind not coming. I said while I understand the kids would be
really disappointed and it would have been good to have the heads up a few
days ago so I could have arranged to do something else (as now all other
friends have made plans and we will spend the next 4 days alone.

AIBU and a bit over sensitive to feel this is really selfish and to feel
really upset and disappointed and down about having yet another long
weekend on my own?

Soooooo, what are you going to do?

YANBU. It is thoughtless to cancel the day before. What did your friend say when you said that the kids would be disappointed, and that you wished they could have told you earlier? Surely your friend feels a bit guilty?

Can you call other friends and see if you can join in with whatever they are doing?

What am I going to do?

Have a large G&T thats what I'm going to do

Bless you, unsure

Buuuuuuuuuuut what about tomorrow? I think you should whizz over to your nearest supermarket and buy some crappy decorations, some Lambrini Cava, stuff for a slap up breakfast and or/buffet. Now. Before you drink the G&T.

Then have a luvverly party with your DCs tomorrow. Call a few friends maybe, see if they want to join in.

I have a feeling the shops are shut tomorrow morning btw - hence the need to act now.

YANBU

i would be upset too, i hope someone nicer gives you some company
