To wish my mates would take responsibility for their own actions and not blame me

I'm single, every two weeks ex DH has our children. I usually go out to a party/clubbing that weekend with other single mates.

I have a group of marrried friends (3) who also come out with us.

It follows the same pattern every bloody time.

Wednesday: So beats are you out this weekend? We might come out for just one, just a quiet one like. Feel like getting dressed up etc etc.

Friday: Can't wait for tonight going to get on it so excited!!! Woo hoo!

Saturday morning: oh I feel terrible. Not drinking anymore, really this is no way to live, feel so bad about the kids/DH. Need to grow up a bit. At this point they all join in together about how they aren't going out again, how we all need to grow up, hoe irresponsible and silly the night was (mostly because they have no self control over their drinking). I get dragged into the pity party as the main instigator even though I don't drink that much and rarely even have a hangover.

Next Wednesday: oh beats are you going out again this weekend? Might just come out for one Hmm

I'm sick of being used as the excuse for why they feel like shit, their husbands all think I'm dragging them out every few weeks (easy excuse for them). lol and behold our group messages are full again this morning with guilt and oh beats look what you've done to us again Hmm

How are they contacting you? What happens if you don't look at their thread and just text or email individually instead. 'Out X night. Planning to do the usual and won't drink much so I'm good Sunday with kids'

go down the 'poor you route, I feel as right as rain but I only had X and X as I don't like to drink much'
