[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A long time friend and I have a beach rental reserved for 4 days over Memorial Day weekend. We planned this a few months back and I’ve been looking forward to it. She is a single mom - this rental price was a stretch for her but she really wanted this getaway and agreed to it. She has already paid me for her half. It is non refundable.

[b]I get a text today and she says she has no sitter for the kids that weekend and will be bringing them along. Plus this sitter who backed out would’ve been watching the dog and now the dog has to come with too. [/b]

This is a smaller beach house but it will sleep 4. There are two bedrooms with two double beds and the house accepts pets but with a $150 fee (I think she will gasp at that price) Only one bathroom.

This changes everything about this trip. What was a girls getaway is now a family trip. We would’ve had our own rooms and now I will be sharing a double bed with her.

[b]I don’t even know what to do. I haven’t text her back yet. [/b]Do we split this 4 ways now? I don’t even want to go anymore, I’m so mad. [/quote]

This is not something that should be communicated or negotiated over text. She should’ve have said that her babysitting plans fell through and that she’d like to talk by phone. But she didn’t. Now it’s up to you to take this offline. Text her back:

[i]This is a big change that we should talk over. What are some good times when you’re able to speak without distractions so that we can figure this out? [/i][/quote]

:lol: "Speak without distractions" who are you people? She has 2 kids and a dog. Just call her yourself or ask her to call you. Guaranteed a dog will be barking in the background and kids asking for stuff.[/quote]

So the friend doesn’t work—doesn’t drive there or have a moment without the kids? They’re not in school and never go to sleep? This is why OP is asking the friend to name some times. It will go better for everyone if the friend is able to speak without kids and dogs interrupting.  [/quote]

This isn't that serious that the person needs to find a distraction free environment to have a phone conversation. Give me a break. Maybe if OP was dying of cancer it would warrant this level of attention.[/quote]
