[quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who never confirms plans until the day of. I have known her for about 3 years now. Our kids get along great and so do we. We hung out before and during Covid. During Covid, we all were just staying home so all our plans were very last minute and I was happy to just get out of the house.

Now I am much busier. She will say we should hang out next Tuesday or Wednesday with no set time or location. I don’t want to double book so leave it open for her. Then I will follow up and she will say she can’t because of some lame excuse. She would rather do laundry or go to Costco or target. I do all those things too. I can easily find another time to do laundry.

Would you feel offended if someone chose to cancel tentative plans for laundry or grocery shopping?

I feel like I would not accept this type of adult friendship but I am willing to take this crap because my daughter likes her daughter so much. Our kids are in preschool.

I have a childless friend who would tell our mutual friend she couldn’t meet because she had to do laundry. The mutual friend dropped my friend. I live out of town so I never had to deal with being cancelled on for laundry. Friend recently got divorced and is upset this one friend is not there for her. We were friends for 30 years. The friend has 2 kids and has a ton of laundry to do herself. She doesn’t have time to be blown off for laundry.[/quote]
