Can I biitch about my friend?

My friend of mine in a book club has 18 mos old twins.  All the time she is telling me I have to go out of my way for her since she has twins. She lives about 30 to 35 minutes away from me.

If instance, she wanted to sell me a jumperoo.  I said I would buy it when we met for the next book club in two weeks in a midpoint of town.  She said she wanted to get rid of it ASAP and I said I would not be anywhere near her side of town  and DD was not enjoying the car at all, so she could sell the jumperoo on Craiglist or wait to sell it to me.  She could not meet me anywhere since she has twins and since I only have one baby I should be the one to drive over there.

Another friend picked it up for me on her way to see me.  The jumperoo was in disgusting shape.  Dog hair all over it and dried spit-up.  I cleaned it up and gave it to charity.  I gave my "friend" the check for $25 and didn't say anything since figured it was not worth it to start drama over.

Well, tonight I e-mail her that I am not going to book club since I have a sinus infection and I am not feeling well at all.  She had checked out a bunch of books from the library for everyone and I told her she could give my copy to one girl who would see my husband at the end of the week.  The friend tells me that will not give me enough time to read it, so I should drive over to her house to pick it up.  She can't come to me since she has twins.

I told her I am sick and I guess I will not be reading the book then.

Anytime I mention to her that I am having some sort-of issue with DD she throws it in my face she has twins so she had to deal with it double time.

We even set book club time at an earlier time for the twins' bedtime since her husband can't put both them to bed at the same time and needs her help.

    I'm sorry to say but it sounds like your friend needs the "pity-party" spotlight and you threaten that...

    I would tell your friend to grow a pair when it came to her twins. I have 4mo old twins, and I take them everywhere by myself no problem and I have since they were 3 weeks old. It is no big deal. Whatever you pack for one baby you just grab 2 of. Also her husband needs to get with it. It is not that difficult to get them both down, and I am sure there will come a time when one has to do it alone and then what. They will be lost. My DH puts the girls to be 4 nights a week on his oown while I am at work. He is a pro. I cannot stand when people with twins act like it is so hard that they can't live their lives. Yes it takes practice, but how will you ever learn if you don't try?? Sorry I am done now
