Am I overreacting?
I am down in the DC area for a few days visiting my sister and her family. A good friend of mine from college lives down here as well. Because she works less than a mile from my sister?s house, we planned on meeting up for lunch one day. We made these plans at the beginning of last week. When we decided on today for lunch, I told her I?d have to bring my nephews with me. She said no problem. Yesterday I e-mailed her to ask which restaurant we should meet at and tell her some basics (like we?d need a highchair for the little one and we can?t be there til 12:15). Apparently she thought things was rude, because she e-mailed me back with ?Not to be a jerk, but did you really just send me directions?? I did not intend it that way at all so I called her and apologized because how she took it was not how I intending it -- she didn?t answer, left a voicemail. Anyways, she did not call be back last night. I got an e-mail this morning, canceling for this afternoon. It was a very impersonal message, with no real reason as to why she was canceling last minute. I?m ticked. Am I overreacting?
Re: Am I overreacting?
wow. sounds like your friend is a little overly sensitive.
then again, maybe she has a perfectly vaild excuse for cancelling, but just didn't share it...
I think your friend is overreacting. When children are involved, there is a little bit of extra planning that goes into things.
Wow! Hopefully she was just having a bad day and unfortunately you were the one she took it out on. Sorry...
I would be annoyed too.
That sounds so odd. Maybe something else is going on with her. Give her a call and try to figure out what's going on.
I'm wondering if she was put off by the fact that the kids would be there? B/c I know that if I brought J to a lunch, I would not be much of a lunch companion. If she rarely sees you, this might concern her.
Then again, I don't know her, but when I was pre-kid, I might have wished for some one on one time with an old friend (child free). Esp. one I rarely see.
If that is the case, though - she could have communicated it better.
I don't think you are overreacting at all - if anyone is, it's her!
Sorry that had to happen to you.
