To be really fed up with my single childfree carefree friends?

[BeastofBodmin]

I haven't seen them for ages and at their suggestion arranged to go out with them tonight.

Plan was to go to a restaurant and then bar locally tonight. I have been looking forward to it for ages and even had my hair done this morning.

I've just had a text (grrr that she didn't even ring but that's another matter) saying 'get your dancing shoes on we've decided to go to x instead, so will find somewhere to eat nearby'

They know that I have booked a babysitter until midnight and will have to be home at midnight.

But have decided they are going to a club that is 40 miles away - so not only is there no point in me paying £££s to get into a club for a short amount of time, I will also have to get a taxi back alone which will cost at least £40

I don't know what to text in response but at least I don't have to worry about what to wear tonight anymore..I'll be in my pjs no doubt.

Oh my babysitter charges a cancellation fee too. Great.

YANBU, but dont have a fall out, text them and explain exactly why you cant go. next time there is a night make this this does not occur. they just dont REALISE

ahh so glad you had a nice time out!

40 miles away? Bloody hell, do you all live in the middle of nowhere?

FWIW you do not have to have children to understand that someone might have to be back at a certain time, or might not be able to afford something. They are inconsiderate.

They were being very inconsiderate. I don't have children but I wouldn't think that was ok. In my group of friends 2 have kids, 4 don't and we make sure we do what suits the 2 with kids. I don't think you have to have kids to understand that someone can't just change their plans at the last minute!
