I know, I know, this has probably been done to hell!
BUT...
DF is getting married in July, a 4 hour drive away on a monday. DH, DS (8 months) and I are invited to the whole day. Ive just recieved the invite today and found out she is getting married on a MONDAY?????. Maybe its just me, but I assumed she would be getting married on a saturday and when she asked if I could make it before I recieved the invite and the actual date I told her we would defo be going.
Well, with it being on a monday it means DH and I taking 2 days off work, not too bad for me but it will be very unlikely that DH will be able to have the days off. So that means me going alone with DS, which TBH I really dont want to as Im not happy with driving all that way alone with DS (Im not too confident driving places I dont know). Plus, Im not keen on struggling with DS all day alone (I know single mums will cringe at that comment)
If DH could get the day off we would be losing out on roughly £600 in wages plus the cost of petrol, hotel, drinks etc. We cant really afford it.
But she is a good friend and is the kind of person who would stamp her feet if I didnt go. She has already text me about another friend within our circle who has declined and she was very cross with her 'lame excuse' when she said she cannot afford it.
AIBU to decline???
