Today it snowed big time in our neck of the woods. A school mom called me on my cell to invite my daughter to play with her daughter in the snow. I said great! What time would you like to meet? School mom said I don't know. I said what about 12noon in the school yard? She said terrific. We hung up.
12Noon rolls around and I bundle my daughter up and we head out to the school yard. We get there and the school yard is locked up and no one can go in. I call school mom on my cell and said "hey guess what, school yard is closed. I wanted to let you know."
School mom says: "Oh I know it is closed. We found out a while ago, we are across the neighborhood eating at a restaurant and then we will go play by the docks (we live in a waterfront community.)" She then asks if we want to trudge through the snow to meet her. I politely told her no thanks because the streets were not cleared and my 4 year old would have a hard time.
I walked away feeling really hurt. Hurt that she didn't call me to tell me she made other plans and that I had to be inconvenienced.
My mother says I should forgive her because she probably forgot to call me. And by her forgetting I shouldn't think it was a big deal.
Now I have forgiven and forgotten but wanted to know if I'm too sensitive or is my mother correct? P.S. this is one of the reasons I no longer have friends, I have experienced a long history of people just letting me down when I rely on them or need to rely on them.
