bf skipped a brunch date with my girlfriends and i.would you be mad?

[Anonymous]

so my bf just got a new apartment and he is trying to move into it this weekend and the next. a week ago i scheduled for him to join my girlfriends and i for brunch and we said he'd be there and that he'd spend sunday doing move-in stuff. he just called me however saying he has to cancel since his parents are helping him with the move only at that time. i don't know how i feel about this. would this irk you?

Moving is stressful. If he has help for Saturday he should take it. I'm sure he doesn't want to humor your girlfriends, but it is a legitimate excuse not to.

I WOULD NOT BE MAD AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!
You have got to be kidding, right?
He has a good (VERY GOOD) reason to not meet u with you.
Is this for real?

*meet up with you

Not as much as (a) the fact that you're not helping him move probably irks him and (b) the improper use of "my girlfriends and i" irks the grammar Nazi in me.

He's moving. That's a PITA, and he happens to have help. Moving always takes longer than you think and he's realized how much work it is and how nice it is to have help.

Brunch with you and your bffs can happen another weekend.

i don't understand why he couldn't tell his parents that he has plans at that particular time and that he'd appreciate it if he could get their help on sunday? is that so wrong?

[Anonymous]

No. He called in advance and gave an explanation. I don't see why he's presence is required.

Hell no it wouldn't irk me. Was he going to be the only guy? Sounds like your brunch should be a girls only outing.

Because, Princess, not everybody believes the world revolves around them. Some of us graciously accept help when it is offered and available. We don't believe everyone should drop their plans to accommodate our activities when they're doing something out of kindness for us.

Moving is hard and stressful and you are happy to take any help you can get. No, he should not have asked them to help him move on a different day, especially not for a brunch that can happen anytime.

Yes, it is so wrong. They're doing him a favor. It should be at their convenience, not yours.

And why aren't you helping with this move again?

PP again. Also a grammar nazi. With my girlfriends and me. The "and I" is like fingernails on a blackboard.

+1. Why you aren't you helping him move?

I am and have offered. I'm helping him get whatever new furniture he needs and even offered to help him sort through his things to help him pack. Tomorrow afternoon is the first time he is starting this process and with his parents apparently. At this point I'll help him with whatever's left I guess.
