I've got two dc, do is away on Stag do this weekend we get married on Saturday.
Chatting to dear friend by text yesterday afternoon/evening about plans (kids to bed early commence with wedding stuff, it's all diy because we're on a tight budget).
Df text me asking if I'd have her 2year old for an hour. Then it changed to two hours. Ish. I asked when she replied with "I'll drop her round in half hour"
I said no-i never really say no even though this df regularly cancels plans, or arranged to meet up with kids or just us and doesn't get in touch just posts to social media that she's with a different friend and their kids.
Df didn't reply at all and hasn't responded this morning, even though I know she's read the message when I asked if she still wanted to get together today as previously planned.
Was ibu to say no? Im fighting the urge to ring apologize profusely and offer to watch her DD tonight even though I don't want to and it'll be a pita. Do I call or just wait for her to get in touch?

Wait for her to get in touch. But if she's used to you being a pushover she might not come out of her huff. If so, her loss.

She rang today and wants me to go round tonight, I strongly suspect I'll get there and she will have to pop out for an hour or two. I'm not usually such a walk over but I don't have many friends, and she can be a great friend. When it suits her.

OP how did it go?

You might get some better friends in your life if you make time for them by avoiding users.

Another one wondering how it went. And to wish you good luck for Saturday

She doesnt sound like a great friend. If you freed up some of the time you spent with/on her you may find you have time to make better friends. Hope she didnt mess yoy about yeaterday. Hope the wedding goes well

The wedding went perfectly (just about) "d"f turned up pissed and just got drunker before disappearing at some point in the evening, no card, no compliments, complaining and being a general tit. Luckily my other good friend was there as a buffer, and was brilliant. I've cut contact drastically. She got in touch,last minute, this weekend to ask me to meet, waited for a reply than blanked me. She went out with other friends instead, without letting me know her plans had changed. So fuck her. Decided to just ignore her for a while, we don't run into eachother out and about either so won't need to be rude, just cutting contact out.

CongratulationsFlowers

As for your so called friend, ignore her and make space in your life for better friends who actually care about you. She sounds like a user.
