This is now at least the 4th time this has happened 🤦🏼♀️ She messages lots of times back and forward about a week in advance arranging to take our little one a walk to the park. My mum looks after her a lot more than she does so I feel I have to say yes. She sees her about once a month if that. I let my mum know she’s coming that day, rearrange my day around it, leave my work to do while she’s got her etc then more often than not she’ll message with less than an hours notice to say she’ll need to cancel. It then throws my whole day up in the air having to then go back groveling to my mum for help so I can get the work done I was supposed to do while she was out. The way she cancels is so casual too, like ‘oh well, need to go another day’ 🤔 After it happened the first time I was a bit annoyed but gave her the benefit of the doubt, it happened again and I made a slight comment about it. She did it yesterday again. If it was a weather warning or torrential rain I’d understand but it’s not, it’s like she just wakes up and doesn’t fancy it any more 🤦🏼♀️
I’ve told DH and he almost just rolls his eyes at her. I can’t continually do this, without being rude how can I tell her no in future if she’s just going to keep doing this? 🙄
