Arranging a meet up with friends, most of whom live with an hour of each other. They have suggested a venue that is 3.5 hours drive away, but is aboutanhours drive for them. The place to meet up in is pregnangt friends home town, so she doesn't have to travel.
I have lived away from friends for 10 years, and out of group of 5 only one has bothered to drive to see me. After 5 years I stopped inviting them, but have gone along to the twice yearly meetups, always involving at least at 2 hour drive. I went to one friends wedding last year involving 3hr plus drive with my 5 week old ds, so I do feel like I have made the effort.
Would I BU to not go? DS is now 8 months, I am back at work so don't see him as much as would like, and I aren't sure I want him to be in the car for all that time, just for a meet up and pub lunch. The other friends will be taking their DC. If I don't go, I won't see them for another 6 months or year.
Friend has said I can stay at hers so its not all in one day. AIBU
