[quote=Anonymous]i agreed to go to my SIL's bachelorette about a month ago. it was supposed to be a flight away. i can only go for about a day and a half, and catching the flight there will be pretty stressful with my work. just a couple of days ago they also decided to change the plans so that we'd be spending almost the entire time in a city a few hours away from where we were originally going to be - making catching my return flight an absolute nightmare. they're claiming i can take the car and they'll train the next day, but i'd rather not drive someone else's car, so i'd rather train to the airport. anyways, it's really annoying me (particularly b/c there's an airport much closer than the original airport that we all booked), and we could have all just flown into there (and it would have been cheaper for everyone).

i'll be about 6 months pregnant, driving in an unfamiliar city, trying to catch a 2 hour train ride to catch a flight. and no doubt i'll be tired b/c i'll be sharing a room with 4 other girls.

and, well, quite frankly, i dont see why i'm doing this to myself. she didn't come to mine (albeit she was very sick), and although i was hoping to use this time to grow a better relationship with her and to get her know her friends better, i think back, and she barely even spoke with my bridesmaids (she was one as well). i hate to be petty, but should i really shell out all this time, energy, and money to go?  additionally, when she found out i was going to be pregnant during her wedding, she claimed that i was selfish and trying to steal the spotlight. she's come a long way with the pregnancy thing (she seems excited now), but i'm having a hard time forgiving her.

to my make me want to go even less, my DH is going on a beach trip the same weekend. it was supposed to be just guys, initally, but now it looks like all the wives are invited (and i'm friends with most of them). DH wants me to go with him, it would be almost free, and i'd be with real friends.

thing is, if i don't go to the bachelorette, the girls will actually save money (they could fit in SIL's apartment) and the hotel at the second city is cheaper. but i'll feel like i backed out on a promise.
