I am feeling very sad I was asked to go to London for 2 days by my friend yesterday and after thinking about it for a long time I said yes. It would mean leaving 4yo dd and 9mo ds so I was a bit uncertain at first but decided I could do with a break. I rang my friend (I have no family nearby) and her boyfriend who my dc really like to ask if they would help out with childcare. THey live with her mum atm so it is a bit crowded. I said they could come and stay here for the duration, and obviously help themselves to food etc. Her bf is unemployed so wouldn't have to miss work. I said I'd give them £100 which I thought was alright. They said yes, I rang them 3! times today to make sure they really meant it as I was buying my ticket and booking the hotel. But they have just called to say that 100 isn't enough and noone else would do it for under 5 pounds an hourso I would have to give them £200 I don't have that money to give them (and tbh I'm not sure they should be askign for it) so I have no choice but to cancel. AIBU to be peed off? It is more than that really. He has nothing else to do and afaik would be grateful of the money. These are close friends as well. So now my trip is ruined and tbh I wouldn't go if they changed their minds because obviously they wanted to see if they could get more money So was I bu to offer 'only' £100 in the first place? I had thought it was more than enough They said to let them know if I change y mind, so they are obviously still available. I don't know what to feel tbh, just disappointed and let down.
