At the beginning of every school holiday my "friend" always says that she wants us to do stuff together with the kids and that I should phone her but this is only when her husband is at work.
I'm a single parent so am stuck in 90% of the time but she only ever wants to do anything when SHE'S got nothing to do. So for instance, if the holiday is 3 weeks long she will completely ignore me for two weeks of it whilst her husband is off work...no phone calls or anything but will immediately start wanting to plan stuff and complain that she's bored as soon as he's back at work.
I know its understandable that she wants to spend time with him when hes off work but I resent being used the minute he's out of the picture like that, am I being unreasonable? Its not just her husband she does it with, if anyone else (like her sil who she doesnt even like and constantly complains about!) offers to take her out she'll go and spend the week with her because she has a car and can take her places and will then come back to me as soon as sil is busy (and complain about her!).
I've heard nothing from her since the kids broke up for christmas but her husband goes back to work tomorow and I've just recieved a text off her saying she'll phone me tomorow so we can arrange something.
I'm feeling a bit used, as if I'm expected to sit and wait until she needs me for company.
