My " friend " called me yesterday and invited my son to her sons birthday party for today. So I went and bought a gift and everything. She was supposed to come and pick us up, because my husband has the one car that works. Mine is in the shop right now. She was supposed to be here two hours ago! I tried to call her, and now all of a sudden her phone doesn't work! How freaked up is that? My son is really disappointed. Why would someone do that? I bet next time I see her, she will give me some erroneous excuse. What do you think about it?

Try relaxing a bit. Things don't always go well.

Keep an open mind. Maybe she got a flat tire on the way there or is stuck in traffic! Or maybe there was some kind of emergency. Just keep an open mind. Imagine how embarrased you'll be if you finally get a hold of her then next day only to chew her out for ditching you, then listen to her explain how when she was leaving her neigborhood to come pick you up she ran into the telephone pole. You never know.

Really?hope everything is alright. Sometimes things do come up. Has she done this in the past? If not I might be concerned. If she has,well you just can't count on her. However, if she didn't want you there she wouldn't have called in the first place. I bet something has come up or she is just sooo busy that she has all her attention on something else.
Why don't you and the boy have a little party at home and catch up with her later.

OK, First I would call someone. Another friend a family member and take it from there.BUT Don't rush to conclusions. It really may be a freak of nature type thing. Really, honestly. But either way talk to her and see what she says. Don't let this ruin a friendship. It won't be worth it. UNLESS of course she does stuff like this regularly. And if that is the case your not really losing a friend.

Geez, doesn't sound like much of a friend, unless she has some really big emergency going on today. Sorry your son is disappointed - but he'll get over it, and has to learn sometime that stuff happens, and life is not always fair. Give him a hug - h.e.l.l, give him the gift you bought for the other kid!

I think you shouldn't leap to conclusions. Give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe something bad happened. Or maybe in the excitement of her child's party she just forgot. We all make mistakes.
I hope the venting made you feel a bit better anyway!

I think it is sad to do a child that way. Maybe she had a lot on her mind and just forgot to come by. But any way you look at it, she has hurt a little boy and he doen't deserve that. She could have at least called and let you know that she could not come by.

It has happened to me, many times. It feels crappy to disappoint your kids, but just accept some people don't have it all together yet.
She probably didn't do it intentionally or realize the steps you went to attend her party..get in touch when you're not angry anymore. :)

Save your rage till you hear the excuse - what if she's been in an accident?
If she hasn't then I feel bad you both - unreliable friends are a nightmare andyou'd be justified in dropping her.
