My cousin pretended that she didn't hear me knocking at her front door.

I called my 1st cousin one night to ask her if she would not mind giving me a ride so that I can take my son to school, the very next morning. She lives right next to me, in the next apartment complex. My son's school is about 3 minutes in driving. So, she just told me to call her, the next morning. And I did. She never picked up her cell phone. I called and left a message for her. But she never returned my phone call. So, it was getting closer to the time that my son had to be to school, so I kind of got nervous, because I did not want him to be so late getting to school. So, I told my son to come on and let us both walk over to her apartment. And we did. I knocked on her front door. And I stood there hoping that she was on her way to answer it. I knocked every two or three minutes. And she still never came to the door. And then all of a sudden, I heard a little girl whine and that let me know that this was her daughter. The sound came from the inside of her apartment. I asked my son if he heard that and he said yes, that it sounded like a baby making noise. I even called her on my cell phone while I was standing outside of her door. I was hoping that she would hear her cell phone ring and would pick it up, but she did not pick it up. I knocked when I heard her little girl, but still no one came to the door. Hearing her daughter assured me that someone was up in her apartment. After I knocked, I did not hear anymore noise. So. I finally gave up knocking and I told my son to come on so I could walk him to school. I wanted my cousin to take us, because it was very cold outside that morning. It had to be in the mid 40s. And my son would have gotten to school much faster, had he been driven by car, instead of walking by foot. I walked him and I got him to school, but he was tardy. I know that my cousin never told me that she would have done this favor for me. But she gave me the impression that she was going to. My husband could not take him to school, because he was on medication that had him drowsy from having surgery on his gums. So, I had to find a way to get our son to school. When my husband was sick with the stomach virus she agreed to take him to school that morning. So she has previously done a favor for me before. She is my cousin. I considered myself to be close to her. I used to spend the nights with her when I was a little girl. I was always so nice to her. When her brother called her stupid, she would start crying and I would take up for her. I would step in and try to calm her by saying that she was not stupid and that she should not pay her brother any attention. I know that she is married and all. And I hope that her husband did not tell her to not take me anywhere. All both of their cars were sitting in the parking lot when I was knocking on their door. I know that she heard me. So since then, I have not called and talked to her since March. Even if she could not take me to take my son to school that morning, she could of at least dropped by, called me on my home telephone or my cell phone. I am sure that she has my numbers because she has Caller ID. It was just no excuse. I did not appreciate her dismissing me like this. If she could not do the favor, she could have at least, told me no. That way, I could have found another way for my son to get to school and he would not have been so late getting their either. With her lack of communication, it resulted into my son being late for school, and us both having to walk in the cold weather. I am thinking the whole time as I am walking him to school, did she even care that she stood me up??
