[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m interested in the part where everyone in the big group is sharing their open weekends, and it gets to be the weekend you aren’t free.

This happens to me for book clubs, parties, all the time. It’s not me being paranoid, and I think I’m hearing their conflicts, and it’s like “but I’ll be out of town, but that’s the week my son has a tournament, etc.”

It’s actually.. more exciting for you to the be the friend that has something. Have something. Something else besides this group. Don’t have FOMO now, and don’t have FOMO later. You may have more fun spending an hour or two with your one friend than being just one of the many doing braggy girls trip stuff.

Be the friend who hosts and sits in the dark talking for just a little too late. While her DH stresses that you need to get to bed lol. And then see them off in the morning.

I imagine that’s a better friend than the one who’s doing a big girls dinner in another city. The rest of them got their pull for the weekend, you didn’t. Could be a sign of the natural pecking order. It’s slightly ‘wannabe’ to just follow that group.[/quote]

This. And as another poster said, what does it signal to the group when you are at the birthday weekend anyway. Desperation, willingness to toss a friend to the side, can’t-miss-out or have your own life. They’ll ask questions, so what happened with your college friend. Are you going to tell them, “I told her another time”? Or are you tempted to lie “oh yeah she cancelled.” Because a lie will come back around, and the truth sounds lame.[/quote]
