AIBU? I'm supposed to be going out with my friends this evening. My partners babysitting for my friends child whilst staying home with ours too. She just came to drop her off and then said 'Right I'll see you there!' And I obviously assumed we were going to go together. She said no, she's getting picked up from her house by our friend who is also taking our 3 other friends. The only other one of us is coming from the opposite direction so she's going alone.
AIBU to be really annoyed I'm driving myself whilst everyone else are going together. Especially as she was just here dropping off her daughter.
I'll be driving past her house anyway.
Probably my fault for not jumping in early and making concrete travel arrangements, just assumed we'd go together and feel a bit annoyed I wasn't thought about. Don't even want to go now but it'll cause drama if I don't.

Yes rude and thoughtless of her

is her child staying the night?

I woudn't be having my partner babysit someone's kid who did that to me.

Bloody cheek-I would say to her, ‘I thought we’d be going together as we are providing childcare for your child!’

and I wouldn’t offer any more childcare for her in future.

That's really rude when your partner is looking after her child!

CuteCillian · 28/10/2023 19:13

Bloody hell, with friends like that...etc. I would be pointing out what a favour you are doing with childcare.

Namerequired · 28/10/2023 19:13

Really really cheeky. She went to your house to drop off her child yet left without you to meet others? She could have offered you a lift or shared a taxi, or gone with you if you are driving. Don’t offer babysitting again.

SamW98 · 28/10/2023 19:24

She’s an absolutely CF bit you probably should have mentioned it earlier and not assumed.

Don’t offer childcare again though unless she’s driving you

NashvilleQueen · 28/10/2023 19:26

Are you having her child overnight as well?

Tinkerbyebye · 28/10/2023 21:58

I wouldn’t bother going. Then when they say anything be honest, you have agreed to babysit your friends child and she expects you to make your own way there!

Climbingthehillfast · 29/10/2023 07:40

Wow, what a bitch! She’s just showed what she thinks of you as a friend.
