Just had an email from my best friend who loves to go out every weekend. Her partner is away on a stag weekend so she is planning a night out with a few friends, message reads

"Hi we are all going up the pub on friday and then back to mine after to continue. No excuses - get DP to babysit blah blah blah"

I am instantly riled- I will be the first to admit that my social life is non-existant - this being attributed to university/placements and working to survive and eat.

The 'no excuses' bit has pissed me off as, yes- I do make excuses not to go out- not because I dont want to (who wouldnt want to go and have a drink over wiping bottoms????)

Im also upset as I feel that they haven't got a clue about me. Im doing a 37.5 hour week on placement, 18 hours part time work over the weekend (im on a night shift tonight and back in to work again on sunday morning at 8am, also have 2000 word essay to finish off for monday)

Am I 'unreasonable' in not going out? I feel like a shit for saying no again but I honestly cannot be arsed- I hardly see my kids as it is.

maybe she thought a night out would cheer her up too if she's been a bit miserable. She sounds like a good friend

She is pointydog- she is a great friend. I wish I had more time to do things with her.

What are you riled up about? It's a friendly text inviting you out.
