Happy Birthday!

I can so relate to what happened to you. 15 or so people who RSVP that they were coming to our engagement party no showed. So we had about 14 people there. Only one contacted me and apologised for not being there - she was having major kid problems.]]> Sun, 16 Nov 2008 14:23:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22485&PID=545027&title=sorry-need-to-vent#545027 <![CDATA[Sorry Need To Vent : Oh, so sorry to hear!!

Oh, so sorry to hear!!

What is it these days with people not attending after saying yes to things? I think it's so fricken rude and it really pisses me off. If I was invited, I would have moved heaven and earth to be there if I had said yes.

I think we need to start teaching better etiquette. I'm sure this wouldn't have happened in the 50s! Or maybe we've turned into spoilt brats who feel we don't have to honour our obligations....

Sorry... Venting too.]]> Sun, 16 Nov 2008 12:58:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22485&PID=544993&title=sorry-need-to-vent#544993 <![CDATA[Sorry Need To Vent : Awww I don&#039;t think I even...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22485&PID=544953&title=sorry-need-to-vent#544953 Author: NeoshasMummy

Pleased to hear the night went well. Found out it was twins at 8 weeks. Took a while to get my head around it and have now got my head around the fact that I will have all boys. I had originally wanted #3 to try for a girl and have ended up with twin boys but always knew my chances of having boys was high. Looking forward to the challenge!]]> Sun, 16 Nov 2008 08:30:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22485&PID=544881&title=sorry-need-to-vent#544881 <![CDATA[Sorry Need To Vent : Linda!

Happy Birthday

I would be P#SSED I don't mind people saying they can't make it but to say they will and then pull out the last minute really makes me mad. I have one friend in particular who does this on a regular basis and its got to the point I don't actually ask her to go to places as one she will say she will come and then doesn't or she just doesn;t reply to my invite so i am left wondering if she is or isnt coming.

You're completely allowed to feel down and pissed off with so many people cancelling. I ditto what everyone else says.

My Dad always told me that you can count your true friends on one hand and most people don't even get that many.

Chick, people are fickle and they just don't get it. Clearly they are not as important in your life as you thought. If they don't have enough respect to show up then they don't deserve your time and worry. I tend to walk away from people like that cause they cause more hurt than good. 'd far prefer one friend than ten acquaintances. Tell them to stick it.]]> Sat, 15 Nov 2008 17:10:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22485&PID=544702&title=sorry-need-to-vent#544702 <![CDATA[Sorry Need To Vent : Thanks ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22485&PID=544678&title=sorry-need-to-vent#544678 Author: NeoshasMummy

As some of the others have said, it's happened to all of us so it's not just you I think it's harder when you've moved away from home though.. I know I'm always thinking of how much better it would be if my close friends (who never let you down) could be there.

We'll just have to throw you a virtual party in here

Aww chick! I had a birthday like that last year, I was really gutted too and I really wanted to cancel the whole thing because I felt so stink about myself.
DH wouldn't let me though and even though it was only 5 of us in the end, we had such a fun night and I was really appreciative of the people who did make the effort to be there in the end.

I was upset after a birthday like that too, and was telling DH that I must have real issues about it 'cause it just hurt my feelings so much - he said 'well anyone would be upset if that happened - happens to us all and I don't know anyone who doesn't feel stink about it'... and he's not at all sensitive, and doesn't indulge people in having 'issues' one bit! So if even he thinks that, I'd say you're not being a petal about it - it plain sux when that happens and I'm sure most of us have had it happen, too (so either we're all nigel no-mates or there's no need to take it personally, your friends as a collective just stink this weekend!). ]]> Sat, 15 Nov 2008 14:50:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22485&PID=544638&title=sorry-need-to-vent#544638 <![CDATA[Sorry Need To Vent : I would be upset too hun!!

Happy Birthday! (although it doesn't sound like you are too happy right now).

That is horrible Jess. I think it is awful if they RSVP'd and have all cancelled. I can understand a few would maybe have things come up unexpectedly but all of them!?

You are not being over sensitive. I would be very upset too.

I hope you still have a nice time with DP and your friend tonight.

Well I had arranged a birthday dinner for myself out a local bar/restaurant and invited all my close friends to come out and celebrate with me as I hardly ever go out. That was all good, most people could come and booked that weekend and today the day we are ment to be going out I have had txt after txt saying sorry busy or can't make it see you next week, have fun without me and now im left with myself, DP and a good friend.....that is out of like10 people all of which I see on a weekly basis. I rang two others that hadn't cancelled and neither have answered the phone. I am left pretty depressed actually, the same thing happened with Neosha's birthday we had almost everyone RSVP by the date then 9 people cancel that day and 5 just not turn up, im probably having just a sensitive day but I have never missed an event that I was invited to, I make it to all their birthdays and dinner parties. I have only been here in Gisborne a couple of years but know my friends in Auckland would never do this to me especially on my birthday. Again im probably being over sensitive but it has been happening alot lately.

Do you think I am being unreasonable by getting upset? I chose an affordable place to go and on a day when people aren't working, gave 2 weeks notice and got people to rsvp.]]> Sat, 15 Nov 2008 14:27:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22485&PID=544618&title=sorry-need-to-vent#544618
