| If I’m having weekday drinks or dinner, it’s typically professional or work related |

| Just say no and move on. You're making it an issue. |

| Frankly you sound like they're lucky they think of you at all. What a sadsack. |

| I’m the opposite. I wish more people would be willing to do things during the week so weekends could be family time. |

| Huh. Unless this is weekly, not sure I see why you are upset. |

| Next time, you plan the get together and make the reservation. |

We actually prefer to do drinks or dinner with a friend at 8pm (or later) once the kids are in bed. We can actually make that work.
All our friends without kids want to do dinner at 630pm! No bueno. |

Do you go to work the next day? |

| If you can make time for professional drinks why can’t you make time for personal drinks? |

| I will honestly go out any time of day or week I am invited if at all possible. Got up early to have coffee with my friend before work last week. |

| I’m a SAHM parent and can’t make weeknight drinks work! I’m driving kids to activities all a afternoon and evening. |
