so should I be upset?
So, my BF had a baby 2 years ago. I LOVE her daughter. She's such a sweetie. But I have not seen my best friend since December. I'm going to be in her town tomorrow for a concert and called to see if she and her husband want to go to dinner. I told her it would probably have to be an early dinner though because the concert starts at 6.
Her response? "Oh, well, we can't do that. Baby is on a schedule and I can't let her eat before 5:30." Um. ok.
By all means, put your kids on schedules. I have NO problem with that. But maybe you could, IDK, go to dinner with us (her, her husband, me and MH) and leave the kid with your mom (who doesn't work and is ALWAYS asking to babysit) for an hour, then pick your kid up and feed her at 5;30? I didn't say that to her, of course, I just kind of said "Um, ok..." and let it go.
Seriously? Should I be upset about this? I mean, obviously I am but should I be?
Re: so should I be upset?
I would be annoyed. Like you said, grandma can watch the kid for an hour. I would love to be able and have a nice dinner with friends. Alas, they are going to the bars instead, not my cup of tea.
I
Yeah, I would be a little upset, we have a sch. with Catherine just b/c it makes her life easier but we do bend it for things like going to dinner with friends and it doesn't affect her (unless it comes to the IL's and well then I just use it as an exuse
)
We have friends that will not budge from their sch, if you want to go to dinner with them we have to go at 5, so they can be home by 7 and they will pack up food and just leave if things are running late, needless to say not many of us ask them to go out anymore.
I'm glad that two moms told me it was ok I am upset over this. That makes me feel better!
It is seriously starting to feel like we have a one sided relationship now because every time she comes home I drop everything to go to lunch or dinner with her (I even had one of the other partners cover for me in COURT one day because she was in for two hours). Oh well. I tried.
Maybe I'm missing something but even if she has to bring the kid with that doesn't mean they have to feed her when you guys are eating. If we go out to eat and it's not Declan's "scheduled" (I use that word loosely because he's very flexible and doesn't necessary go by a schedule) time to eat we'll give him some things to snack on at the table or toys to play with.
So yes I think you have every right to be upset!
I was thinking that. She just texted me and said her mom could watch baby but she wasn't sure if she wanted to eat without baby tomorrow.
I think she's trying to blow us off.
Ok, that's just ridiculous now. These are the types of people who I cut out of my life....you kid is your whole universe now, that's great, I understand how it could happen. Personally, I don't want to hang out w/people who let their kid rule their lives and have nothing else to talk about.
