She did it again

I have this close girl friend and we use to hang out a lot. Well we usually have girl night on tuesday nights due to both of our hubbys working late. Well, Tuesday night she kinda blew me off. So, yesterday afternoon she calls about an hour before she gets off of work and ask if she can come over for girls night. So I rush off to the grocery store to pick up something for supper and to get some popcorn and then rush over to the movie store to get a movie. When I get back home she calls to blow me off again to go have dinner with one of other friends!! What would you do?

if it were me the next time she called to make plans I would tell her I am too busy and then I would do it a couple more times and see if she keeps it up

I would stop making plans with her. The next time she calls to set something up, tell her that you are sorry, but you already have plans and don't give her any details or anything, just hang up. You could also turn the tables on her and the next time she wants to do something, say sure and then call her back and cancel on her. She will either get the message and change her behavoir or she will stop calling you all together. Either way, you win.

Yeah I guess I could try that. It is getting kinda old and very tireing for her to keep doing this. Thank You very much.

I'd blow her off for good. Just tell her that you don't have time to prepare for her bogus plans any longer to have her call back and cancel on you. She doesn't sound like a friend if she cancels with you and goes off with another friend.

That sucks!! I wouldn't worry about making any plans with her anymore!! Or if you do let her know that you are getting ready to hang out with her and don't want to be left hanging! Tell her that you go out and buy goodies for ya'll and everything and when she doesn't show up you are disappointed. Just say it in a nice way and maybe she will get the hint. I would be tempted to cancel on her the next time though, just so she can see what it feels like. But that wouldn't be nice =)

Hi nicolecab! well ask about me, i am a married woman and have a kid, and when i got married i end up my habit of going out with my friends, specially this days that i have my son actually his 5yrs old and im 7yrs married, and my husband is always onboard but when he's on vacation we always go out and spending quality time together, like watching movie and going to mall or in any other places...the only thing i do now is go to work every morning and go straight to my house after work because my son is waiting for me... no night life and no hang out with my friends anymore.. i am a devoted wife and mother.. but that's just my opinion.. Well if you have a child to take care of, dont go out with friends anymore... just take care of you baby and wait till your husband came into your house.. and when you're husband is off to his work try to ask to go malling or watch movie.. spend quality time together..

archer, My son is only 3 mo old so he still goes to bed very early like around 6:00pm or 7:00pm. I never go out; my friends come over and we stay at the house and watch movies and cook supper after my son has gone to bed. I have never taken time away from my son because if he is up it is time to play with mommy to go out and party(which I have not done since I found out that I was pregant) or to go hang out friends. I always have my friends come over after he is asleep and well my husband works nights so there is no point in waiting up.
