How would you feel? Should I be upset? Do you think they are really upset?

Question

Ok i will try to condense this. I have a sick friend who lives temp about 40 min from me. A mutal friend was coming into town to visit and help out. I live in the city with the airport and her flight was coming in about 12:00 am and i thought it would be to much for our firends brother who lives nearby to pick her up and drop her off at our friends after 1 am. I offered to pick her up and stay with me for the night then i will drop her next day. I told her our sick friend that they will have to find a way for her to go back because it was early am on a work day. They called yesterday and said i need to pick her up tonight for her to stay with me so i can drop her on the next morning. Friends brother is out of town and friend is to sick to drive. I said i can't. I have two early morning MD appoitments then I need to go to work.They said i could just drop her like 4 am. Well i have a new born and a 2 year old and sleep is slim as it is. I said no i never planned on taking her and

Answer 1

stick to what you told them.. they have no respect for you your babies and your time.. why do you have to worry if they remain your friend or not ? If they are upset with you they were just users in the first place...bd

Answer 2

Seeing as your place is close to the airport, what about if you said that would be fine for her to stay at your house the night before, and you can call her a taxi or an airport shuttle to take her the next morning ?

Answer 3

You can't do it.  If you could you would.  So don't feel bad about it.  Give them the name of a taxi service in the area.  Problem solved.  Good Luck.

Answer 4

Just tell them that you can pick her up, take her to your house and deliver her to them the next afternoon. Period.  Say, I'm sorry, it's the best I can do, I hope you understand.

Answer 5

Have her take a bus or taxi to your house where she can spend the night ~ then she can take another bus, taxi or an airport shuttle to the airport in the morning.

Having a newborn baby definitely should put you in a category of equal consideration with the sick friend. You and your children all need your rest. It sounds like your friends are not being very considerate of your health and needs.

If they are angry, it is their fault, not yours. If you lose them as friends over this, they are not very good friends in the first place.
