To cancel because I’m tired?

I was supposed to join a big group of friends to a Christmas glow event last night, and I was going to take DD who is only 6 months out. DH works night shifts so I have to take her.

I’m a FTM and I’m exhausted, DD has been a real handful the last week for some reason, I think maybe growth spurt and her sleeping is erratic so haven’t had much sleep.

I mentioned the day before yesterday that I might not be able to join because of this and i felt too tired to drive, you can’t get there without a car and I don’t want to risk driving tired.
anyway I cancelled, it didn’t affect the rest of the group going but one of the group of friends said to me that it would have been nice for me to take DD, and that I should have come anyway, and when I explained again how tired I am she said “ok fine” and put the phone down.

now I feel guilty and like maybe I’m letting DD down by not going and just feel crap. AIBU to not go? they all still went so it’s not like I affected their evening that much.

DD is six months old. She’d probably sleep through the evening and she won’t remember it. She also won’t know that she’s missed an outing. Go next year.

No you were tired with a still very young baby I don’t blame you if she has the hump that’s her problem not yours.
