"Friends"....

[BC_MoM]

I'll try to make this short. For a few weeks, myself, my sister and 4 friends have been planning on going to the corn maze.

We were supposed to go tonight - but my Dad was not able to pick us all up because he has to go out of town tomorrow, and didn't want to be out late.

So at about 9:00 tonight, my sister called one of the friends... whose Mom said they had all gone to the corn maze.



Needless to say... I am SUPER ticked off right now. I am EXTREMELY disappointed in my "friends". I have a feeling one of them was the ring leader in the idea of ditching us because our Dad could no longer give everyone rides home... but I'm still ticked that the rest went along with it.

One of the "friends" invited me to her birthday in October, but I think I will return the invitation to her tomorrow.

I am so disappointed.

Am I overreacting?

IMO, no. Friends don't treat friends that way. I would be hurt, too. I've been done badly by people I thought were my friends. Had to find out the hard way. Good friends are way too rare. I don't think I'd want to go to the birthday party, either. Seems to me it would just be a gift grab. That was so rude of them and I'm sure you're plenty hurt.

When ever you get a chance, I would just go up to one of em ((not the one who planned this out, and the one you feel as the most trust worthy)) and be like, hey, I was just wondering why we wern't invited. I would be pretty mad too.

ditto what dukedogsmom thought - I wouldn't accept that either. like she said, I've been treated badly enough by others. I mean if friends care enough for you to come with too, you would have AT LEAST been known. not by a mother.

returning her invitation is a good idea, they may want a gift from you but not you out of gifted if you know what I mean. unless you girls worked something out - I'm sorry they did this to you.

I agree. They are probably using you to get a present. Don't go to the party. If you do, they'll just ditch you afterwards. You are not over reacting. Everyone would get mad to.

I've learned over the years to choose wisely who I call a friend. I used to call everyone a friend. No more!

IMO, those people are not your friends. If they were, they would have called you to let you know they were going and would have offered you a ride.

I've learned lessons the hard way and most recently I've lost 2 friends that I've been friends with since we were 7 years old. (I'm 32 now)
It hurts to loose friends, but you can't let your "friends" walk all over you and "crap" all over you.

The older you get... the less TRUE friends you have. But those few are the ones that will be your friends forever!
