AIBU to be p***ed off at short notice cancellation

[toomuchpink]

Person was due to visit this avo. All been arranged for a couple of weeks, kids excited, day planned around it, etc. Just after 1pm a text arrives saying next week would be better for them as they have something on later.
No hint of apology.
I'm not saying I never forget stuff or never have to cancel. But I'm usually sorry, and if I was pulling out knowing my visit was important to someone at such short notice I would ring and grovel!
Or am is super sensitive?

YANBU, cancelling at short notice unless due to an unforeseen emergency is pretty rude IMO.

That would piss me off. Especially if I had disappointed kids because of it!

I'd tell them I'm busy next week. I don't bother with people who do this sort of thing.

Glad you think so. The casual "any week will do" bit of the message made me wonder if it was just me... I wouldn't mind too much a text like that the night before... but two hours ahead.

Absolutely. One DT kept asking if the person was coming over and over. My DD1 said: mum you shouldn't have told them she was coming. And she was right.

That would annoy me too, things happen yes, but 2 hours notice is just inconsiderate without a valid reason.

yanbu although it can go too far the other way. One friend was once so worried about cancelling she offered to come round 2 hours after finishing the vomming stage of a bug . I told her not to worry

Idespair - I did exactly that. This person has been good to us in the past, but we've not seen them for a while.

Yup, I am busy the vague 'we will arrange something another time' needs to go on.

brettgirl2, ha ha. With you on that one.

That's just plain rude. Particularly as you'd probably got food in.
