Meeting for breakfast - Which of us is being unreasonable.

Im meeting a friend in a few weeks time who lives in a different part of the country to me.

We’ve arranged to have a day out.
It will be her and her husband, myself, my husband and our 18month old son.

As they live some distance, we have decided to book a hotel and stay over night.

My friend has asked me to book a hotel right by her house so that it’s less distance for her to travel to meet us the next day for breakfast.

I’ve agreed to this, even though we could get a cheaper hotel a bit further away.

We were chatting and she said she would come and meet us for breakfast at 10.30am

I explained that DS wakes around 6.30 and is ready for his breakfast at 7am.
I could probably distract him and at a big push take him down for breakfast at 8am

I also explained that it’s a 2 hour drive back home so Ideally we wanted to head home after an early breakfast.
There’s not much for DS to do in the hotel so once we’ve eaten it makes sense to leave.

She told me that 8am is too early for her and her husband (they don’t have kids) and that the best she can do is 10am.

I’ve suggested then that we skip breakfast and I will book a cheaper hotel a bit further away.

She’s since sent me a text telling me I’m being difficult and that my DS will be fine waiting for his breakfast until 10.30am for just one day.

I’m tempted to message back and say her and her husband will be fine having breakfast at 8am for just one day… 🙄

Please I beg you to stop engaging with Rozziie

Its quite obvious that he/ she is unreasonable and has an agenda, that is unrelated to OPs situation which was resolved 3 days ago. There's even suspicion she is OPs friend although it would be a shame if they are. Confused

PPs were saying "whaaat? Why did you make that up?" to him/her for 100s+ posts.

No further good will come of engaging with that poster. They made their point, few agreed with them, by far the majority of PPs did read the posts & full thread and agree with OP & think she handled it very well.

We need a Thread 2!!

Wow thread has moved on. Hilariously... Please op can we have a second? What's "neurotypical" btw?

Wow, how embarrassing. You could have googled that in the time it took to type it out.
WeBuiltThisCityOnSausageRolls · 06/09/2021 22:12

I really don't think we need thread 2 given it was all resolved back at 400 posts

It will just give air time to a PP who seems like she may benefit from her own AIBU 'against the world' thread, unrelated to OP's post or situation.

LimeRedBanana · 06/09/2021 22:55

Thread 2?

What else is there to talk about..?

Hopefully this thread fills up soon and dies a death.

KaptanKatanga · 07/09/2021 11:31

But do we know how it turned out? Has the big event happened yet?

@Rozziie ooohhh tempting! have been told upthread to ignore your posts though, sorry!

I'll stop prolonging the pain, WeBuilt! I'm sure even if I suddenly agreed she was right I'd be accused of dripfeeding and get called a fat ugly bitch or something! Grin

LtCdrUhuragotolder · 07/09/2021 21:08

Well HyppeTygge
Rozziie has had her last post deleted as she/he has breached MNs rules.

So we will never know now but best to leave things. Maybe fill up this thread with dots or commas so it gets to 1k and no more horrid posts from certain PP.

I have followed the whole post (& updated my airship title in my user name!) and thought OP dealt with it so well, all resolved so early in with OPs kindness - and been quite quite concerned about certain extreme posting that was unrelated to OPs situation that occurred. Anyway all's well that ends well.

Anyone else want to say something happy about safari adventures in zoos? Let's end this thread on a lovely theme...Thanks

HyggeTygge · 07/09/2021 22:47

iirc they were kind and helpful towards someone questioning the meaning of the word 'neurotypical' as they hadn't come across it before.
Or was it the opposite? can't remember.

Anyway, may as well note that I tend to stay over for journeys of 2 hours with young kids - if I can - the times we have tried to drive after bedtime have ended absolutely horribly, and 4 hours of driving in one day is a lot. Not that there's been that much travelling in the past couple of years :-(

JustLyra · 07/09/2021 23:41

We’re the same @HyggeTygge. Nothing worse than a fractious journey home at the end of a long day out.

Especially when a lot of hotels are really cheap atm.
