AITA for going anyway when my friend cancelled?
I met a mum at a baby group, she has always had high anxiety and just been a bit of a wet blanket when it comes to letting her daughter get away with behaving terribly, in her own words she can’t be bothered with the arguement and so whenever we’ve met up over the 6 years I’ve known her, it’s pretty much been me always going to their house or going somewhere where she feels comfortable due to her not wanting her daughter to play up. We are polar opposites – I like trying new places and going on adventures but i appreciate that she doesn’t feel comfortable doing that.
I finally managed to persuade her to go to to this awesome pop up event that the kids would love, we got tickets, granted they were only cheap but everything was organised. On the morning of , the weather was a little bit drizzly and she said she didn’t feel comfortable getting public transport in the weather, (we don’t live near each other so were travelling separately) , i said ok can you get a taxi or something, she said she’d rather just take a rain check and me come to her house. For once i stood my ground and said my child was really looking forward to going to this so i was going to go anyway and then she made me feel guilty because her daughter was looking forward to seeing mine and we wouldn’t get to see each other for months. I just said sorry I’m already at the train station so we’re going. She didn’t reply to that and it’s been a few days now. I feel like a bad friend but my partner says i shouldn’t feel guilty. Should i have stuck by her and just gone to hers?
