My best friend cancels on me all the time - it's become a running joke it our house it happens so often.

Tonight is the latest, my family and I were supposed to be going round for a bite to eat tomorrow as it's her birthday. We are going away on Friday so today I have been out to get her a special birthday gift and got all mine and the dc's packing done in advance so I could go and celebrate with her tomorrow. Yet again she has text to say is it ok if we give it a miss.

Now the reason IABU is that she is very pregnant and being induced this week so I know I should be more understanding but I am just getting so fed up of making plans with her that don't happen. This has not just been while she has been pregnant, it's been going on sicne long before then.

I probably should have said something earlier as I certainly can't say anything now.

Sigh - ok, just feeling a bit sorry for myself! I'm gutted I'm going to miss the birth of her baby as it is with being away Sad

I think she may have been unreasonable in the past but she has a bloody good reason now so on this occasion at least, YABU sorry (although you know that). It is annoying when people cancel though.

Just stop making firm arrangements with her. When she asks if you want to do X, say "oh well, if you're available on the day, let me know" and then don't think about it anymore. If she gets in touch, and you're free and feel like doing whatever it is, all well and good, and if you aren't, say so. Problem solved. Be spontaneous Wink
