[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, all. I asked how her son was doing today and she said much better, great! I'm a little hurt that she didn't apologize. Sigh. I liked her, too! [/quote]

You are sounding like a martyr here.

This person had, according to you cancelled play dates in the past because of her child's behavior. You knew that, set up a more elaborate play date and are acting bent out of shape because she cancelled said play date.

Why did you plan an elaborate play date with someone who has cancelled multiple times before?

I get that it sucks for you and your child but you knew who she was and are annoyed because she is who she is. You knew better, so why did you set your child up for disappointment?

And you continue to harp on it. It is done, let it go. Don't set up anything more then meeting at the park with her.

I apologize for the martyr tone.

It’s backwards, I suppose, but I really thought she WOULDNT flake out on bigger plans. A meet up at home...fine, cancel for behavior. But this was such a big excursion, one we had planned and confirmed, so I really thought my chances of her canceling were lower due to the size of the event.

That, was a mistake.[/quote]

NP, but she cancelled the day before?  Solely to punish her kid?  That would infuriate me.  I agree with others that I'd only cancel big plans like this for sudden illness or truly appalling behavior.  My kids are no angels, but I can't think of behavior *that* bad that it would warrant that kind of cancellation.

I don't think you're being crazy at all, and I definitely wouldn't schedule plans with this person again.[/quote]
