Say, going to a pub to meet a good friend, but it's not exactly a fun destination for kids and not one that they would have the best day at. We couldn't stay at the specific pub reasonably for more than an hour or two.
Friend is being short when we said 1h45 (one way) is a bit far for that.
I mean, almost 4h in the car for a pub lunch?
Who is BU here? I mean, we could do it but why would we want to? I don't want to haul our kids around for this day (after moving house and country a month ago. Its been a turbulent - for the kids - non stop month)
And we would gladly stretch our plans and go out of our way for good friends. It's just the instant shortness when we question the initial plan, or rather gently state our reservations
Ps they have one young child before anyone asks
