less of an AIBU and more of a AIGBSC (am I going bat shit crazy?)

So, this situation has cropped up not once, but twice recently. And I'm a bit confused. Is it just me: (am 38+3 weeks pregnant, so might be pregnancy dementia, dunno)

1. a friend mentions last Thursday that her and a mutual friend are meeting for a meal today and would I like to come. 'Yes please, I'd love to' says I.
   I ask her to text me to confirm the details, such as time etc. and she says she will text me. I hear nothing over the weekend, am tempted to text her to ask if it's still on, but left it as she said she'd text me (and I assumed it had been called off or rescheduled or something).. then an hour ago she texts to ask where I am. Is it me? I didn't know what time and hadn't any confirmation from her.

2. a friend texts to invite my eldest daughter to her daughters impromptu leaving-the-school party. I say yes, she'd like to come. I then hear nothing at all about the time they're supposed to be there etc. and get a text midway through Saturday saying 'all the girls are ready to set off now and your daughter hasn't arrived yet, is she coming?'. Am I supposed to be psychic, or missing some crucial subtleties in the fine art of texting here? Am I perhaps going a little bit mad?

fair doos

yes. I've become increasingly impatient with people who make vague arrangements then expect me to chase up/be psychic. I haven't the time or the energy, just a week away from my edd. I think it stems also from trying to confirm details with others in the past and getting nowhere fast. I've a small, loyal group of friends who never do this, but one or two who think I'm mystic ruddy meg. It does get on my tits rather.

lol, clearly I expect too much from other people, ie. doing what they say they're going to do.
Usually I'm quite a compliant person. If you'd met me a few years ago, you'd probably have thought I was a bit doormatty.
I've spent many a year chasing people up. When you get older, you get less tolerant of this.

1 out of 10 texts never arrives at their destination. Troo fact.

I've confirmed that it wasn't my phone. She didn't send any confirmation text or try to phone with the time. Not sure why she would assume that I'd be there if I hadn't been given a time etc

Oh, and OP?
Good luck with the pregnancy :) hope the little one arrives on time!

Thanks! Imminent arrival of baby is lowering my tolerance threshold!

It's fine, I was like that all the way through. Thought I was going mad!
