Wibu-another hen party one!

I was invited to a friend's hen party last year however she was yet to set the date. I work in a job which requires me to book time off a long time in advance and also work shifts including weekends/nights so she asked me for a list of weekends I was off in the early summer this year as she wanted to make sure I could come. Subsequently she's announced the date, it's a weekend I'm working the whole weekend so I tried to book it as leave but it was refused. When I told her (in as nice a way as possible) I said that I couldn't get the leave but might be able to get someone to swap for one of the days so I could come for one day but unlikely to get both on a weekend. She replied saying if I couldn't come to it all don't bother and if I cared about her I would make sure I got the leave etc etc including telling other people that I obviously wasn't bothered about her hen weekend. I tried to show interest and ask about what she's planning and where they've booked to stay etc but she said if I'm not coming it's none of my business. It turns out now someone has cancelled the dates so I could go for the whole weekend but her attitude makes me reluctant to go now! So wibu just not to not tell her and not to go?

Wow. What an entitled bitch.
Definitely don't go. She sounds spoilt.

Tell her to shove her wedding where the sun doesn't shine too!

She's very self centred and clearly has no idea what it means to have a job where you work nights, weekends, unsocial hours and how massively difficult it can be to take weekends off when you have been put on the rota to work.
Very spoilt princess - you all have to spend so much? Who the hell does she think she is?
YANBU to swerve this one. I hope she returns to normality, but if she takes against you long term you will see that she really is a spoilt brat.

Bloody Hell OP. She sounds horrendous. This is only the hen do and there is never a time when everyone can make it. There will always be someone who has prior arrangements or has to work etc. And the issue about it being expensive would really piss me off. Most normal people would try and keep the price down so that most people will be able to afford to go. What will she be like for the wedding - I dread to think.

Thank you everyone! My decision is made-not going to waste my leave and I'll just stick to the 'I have to work' story! May even take the day off anyway and spend it with DH Wink
