Aibu dropped by friend for another

[Magicfish]

Aibu- was meant to be meeting a friend, we had arranged a date just no location, we had loosely talked about lunch at one of our houses. So she messaged me saying her friend had invited her to this place and I could join them if I wanted to on the date we was meeting. Which is fine, but this place is over an hour away and would cost over £15 for a couple of hours for me and my two children. When I said I could not afford it, she said ok we will have to arrange a date to meet up as she was going to this place.
Aibu- feels like we have been dumped as a better offer come up and as we can’t afford it tough luck.

I'd feel dumped too, let your friend do the running next time. That is if you can do bothered at all!

That's happened to me too, it is very hurtful and IMO rude of your friend.

With the friend who ditched me I will still do things with her but our friendship is not so close as it once was.

YANBU. Very rude. She had plans with you which should have come first.

I had a friend who used to do things like this to me too. I ditched her. Not worth it.

The annoying thing is she doesn’t see she done anything wrong as she invited me along so therefor it’s my issue

Did she maybe think your meet up was flexible because it was in one of your houses, whereas this was “out”?

Shallow, inconsiderate and rude. I'd think twice about bothering if she approached me with plans in future.

How immature!

Wow, she's rude. I'd be cutting her a wide berth in the future. If she suggests meeting up, I'd just say I have other plans or ignore.
