There are 3 of us have been friends since our babies were born, one friend can be a bit bossy likes to control everything - since the kids started pre-school she's been talking to other mums swapping numbers and meeting up with them and she's v open about it, fine no problem, just her being her she likes to network & be a bit of a queen bee. She got friendly with this other mum from pre school in the summer and invited her along to things we did, only to then drop her saying she found her too quiet, but not before getting friendly with this lady's own friends and getting their numbers, inviting their kids to parties etc!
I arranged an evening out for the 3 of us to celebrate my birthday next weekend, suggested the date, pub, time and this friend asked if she could bring a new friend along who is also a mum from our kids pre-school, I don't know her as my dd doesn't go on this day that they chat together on, but I said yeah fine no problem bring her along.
Today I get copied in on a group text message from the bossy friend, saying she's booked a table at the pub, which I said I'd do as it's for my birthday, and that she hoped I didn't mind but she's also invited another 3 mums along that she's got to know from the days her kids go to pre school, that although I don't know them she's sure I'll like them! I have never heard of these ladies before, it was meant to be the 3 of us going out for an evening together for my birthday, not a networking event!? Am I being unreasonable to be peed off, I am clearly not the social butterfly she is, but is this not a bit weird behaviour? Dh says it is but to just get over it and not to say anything and go along with it otherwise I'll just look all stressy pants! Aibu to be a bit peed off by this friend? She's already talking about making new friends for when the kids start school in September and using this as an opportunity to socialize with them. On my birthday ; )
