Just a quick first world problem!
(We’re in an area you can mix up to 6 people in household)
On Monday a friend Called and asked to meet up with me and my dd she has a ds around the same age under 2.
Anyway I said we had swimming and could meet after but would need to be indoors as poor weather, she was going to come to mine then suggested after afternoon naps she’d come here. I said great afternoon better for us I can 3 ish.
I hear nothing, it gets to half 2 I said hey Dd will be awake and sorted 3:15 really excited to see you both (dont meet up often) so I get dd up, change all bedding (she’d made big mess) get her showered and all fully ready and manage to do this for 3:15.
Hear nothing, I text asking what the plan is. She replies at 3:49 saying she’s still out shopping. I reply that’s fine why don’t you come afterwards and I’ll do them both dinner. 20 mins later she says she won’t have time now and could she meet us Thursday.
I’m just miffed we both have small children and it comes with lot of hassles messes and general faff.
I feel like she should of cancelled, and just let me know.
I now don’t want the same thing to happen Thursday. She’s often flaky and is always late for play dates. She’s always the one who asks though and I do like her as a person. Just think it’s so rude if you ask to then cancel...why bother.
Just having a bit of a rant.
