[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are busy and mean well. I open invites and have good intentions of replying, but need to check my schedule and confer with my DH to make sure I'm not overcommitting. This takes time, and sometimes I get busy and forget. A reminder doesn't hurt. And really is it going to be that big of a deal to accomodate a few stragglers? I always do.[/quote]

Again, you don’t have a smart phone an a calendar? If you’re on th computer, surely have access to your calendar (especially considering everything is on every device these days... you’re harly going home to check your handwritten moose calendar in it’s teal and terra-cotta frame).

You have no idea of the plans made with you and your child in two weeks?

And again.. if your life requires the kind of planning and negotiations required of g7 summits, you need a calendar, or to JUST SAY NO, because you are clearly not that interested in attending. These are not invitations coming out 6 months in advance. They are not summonses. If it doesn’t work, you can say no. [/quote]

For example, I have a conflict between my iphone calendar and my google calendar, so I have to check both. And I have a DH that forgets to enter things in, or share them with me. So it's wise to run it by him before I add another commitment. Sometimes he can't get back to me during the work day (meetings, etc). And DD is in a sport 5 days a week. So the schedule is tight, but DD really would love to go, so rather than just saying no, we try to make it work. And sometimes it takes time to give you an answer, and sometimes despite good intentions it gets put on the back burner.[/quote]
