My friend is a flake
And it's pissing me off today.
When I told my friend (V) I was KU, she was super excited and all, "I want to throw you a baby shower!" I told her that would be great I'd really appreciate it. After that I didn't mention it because I don't ask people to throw parties for me. A couple of months ago she brought it up and asked when I'd like to have it. The shower is this coming Saturday.
We have another friend (K) who offered out of the goodness of her heart to help V and they've been planning. They asked me once if they could do the shower at my house so they wouldn't have to pay to rent a place and I told them I really didn't want to worry about cleaning up for a party, but if they couldn't figure something else out it was no big deal. They said they'd come over Friday to clean and set up so I told them that's fine. Obviously I'm going to help since it's my house and my mess and all. K was sure to text me once to see if it was ok if she came over Friday and I told her it was. She asked again last night what time would work and we have it all set. I even bought the ladies a bottle of wine to drink during our cleaning party to thank them for their hard work.
Today, V sends me a text that says, "Do you think you could recruit someone to help K set up friday? I'll help her today to prep but I'm not going to make it back down this weekend. I have to meet with my advisor in *college town*" (V has recently decided to go back to school to be a teacher and is supposed to start summer classes in the next month.)
Is she freaking serious? I told her I will help K and I will absolutely not ask another guest to come help. I told her it's super shitty and ridiculous that she can't make it since she's known for over a month that this was the date of the shower. Don't get me wrong, I very much appreciate the shower and the thought behind it, but she's screwing over the person nice enough to offer to help. Oh well, I guess K will have her very own bottle of wine on Friday.
Does she really think it's ok for me to be like, "So, I know you were invited to my shower as a guest, but do think you could come help me clean up the house a bit the day before?" Who does that? I have a few days, I think I'll manage.
Re: My friend is a flake
Wow - that is really crappy of her to do that.
If I lived closer, I would help you clean for your party.
Hope it all goes well, and that you have a safe and happy delivery!
Well I decided to overlook that fact since one girl is fairly broke and the other is still a college student. I chose to find the silver lining of "at least I don't have to haul any gifts back to my house when we're done". But yes, overly classy, you're right.
Yeah WTF.
