On Wednesday’s, ds and I go to playgroup. It lasts until 1130. Our genetic appt tomorrow is at 1115. I had asked my friend who usually watches him to come and finish playgroup with him since I’ll need to leave early and just take him when it’s over. It’s his last one since he’s going to preschool in the fall and they are doing a whole graduation thing for them. I wanted him there to be a part of it so specifically told her what time to be there and what time playgroup ended. She told me she wanted to see him do his graduation, it’ll be fun to be there with him. She’d make plans for afterwards for lunch and something fun.
Well apparently she heard something completely different, decided to try to make plans with her niece and nephew and then got all pissed off with me when I wasn’t agreeing to her change in plans. So instead of watching ds like she agreed to, she is taking her niece and nephew to the water park. Thank goodness she decided to throw this all at me tonight instead of tomorrow morning.
@kbrown2385 oh what the hell??? The only way that would be even remotely acceptable is if her niece and nephew live out of state and she never sees them and they just happened to show up in town at the last minute. Even then it's disrespectful, but understandable. And for his graduation too!! I'm sorry your friend flaked. Do you have someone else that can do it?
@peppyj9 nope! She sees them at least once a month if not weekly. She had no plans for tomorrow and only started trying to make plans with them today. So go have fun at the water park, don’t ask me for any favors ✌️. Thankfully one of the moms at playgroup will take him. I should have just asked her to begin with! If we had to, we would have taken him with us but it wouldn’t have been ideal.
@kbrown2385 wow, that's so rude, it's baffling! If you make a commitment you keep it! I wonder what shook a screw loose in her brain. I'm glad there's another mom that can watch him. Obviously it's not only not ideal to take him to your appointment but also not ideal to make him miss his last playgroup. I mean, he may not realize the significance of his "graduation" but it's still something he'll enjoy and may even remember. I'd be so pissed. Thankfully it all worked out in the end, but it certainly makes you question what kind of friend she is to disregard her commitment to you like that at the last minute.
@kbrown2385 uggh! It really bothers me when people go back on their commitments. If I was a person who forgot I would honor the previous commitment first and cancel with the family...rude!
