tell me I'm being ridiculous
I'm going camping with some friends in a few weeks. I organized the trip and there are 4 couples going (2 of those have kids, fwiw.) We've all camped together in the past. Because of the large group, we reserved 2 adjacent campsites.
One of the girls called me last night and said they bought a pop-up and want to bring it to sleep in, and they are going to invite one of the other couples to share it with them. I know I shouldn't be bothered by this, but I kind of am.
For one, they just short sold their house and I admit I'm kind of judging them for making big purchases right after walking away from all that debt. But beyond that, I think I'm just annoyed that they'll be all cozy with their kitchen and beds while the rest of us are sleeping in our tents. I feel like it's rude. Which is ridiculous. And I need to get over it.
It's not that I want to be the one in the pop-up, I just want us all to be in tents, like we've done every time in the past... I was having a really bad day already when I heard the news, so I'm sure that colored my reaction. I think I just need to let this go.
Re: tell me I'm being ridiculous
I don't think you're being ridiculous. That would be like planning a trip to go do something with a group and everyone booking at a Holiday Inn Express. Yay, everyone's staying together! Then half the group being like, "You know what? Nah.. we're going to go stay at the Ritz down the street." Okay...
IDK, I get where you're coming from but I also don't think there's anything you can do about it. I do get it though.
No, the couple who bought it has 2 kids. But the other kid will be in a tent.
And I get it, they like to go camping so they'll use it a lot. And next time I'll know what to expect when we invite them. But this time it kind of surprised me. I don't know why I'm taking this so personally... Maybe I need a nap.

I think it's understandable to be a little irked by it.
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?

My BF and I go camping regularly, so I totally understand how you feel. It would make things awkward in my opinion and I would have been a bit disturbed by it. Though there is nothing you can do about it, I totally understand your feeling, and you'll just need to keep that in mind in the future when planning these outings and inviting them.
