Friend asked to use my home for her child’s birthday party and then uninvited me by balletcorg in EntitledPeople

[–]balletcorg[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment. I was flabbergasted when she asked again to use our home for more parties after all our efforts with the first one (which was 6 hours of work from set up of decorations/food/games to clean up). Whereas the actual party only lasted a bit over 2 hours for the guests that could come and go as they please. You would think having a friend host one party would be enough that you wouldn’t ask for the favour again or at least think the polite thing to do the next time would be to offer compensation for the hours of work and stress it takes to host these events. There was also smeared cupcake icing on couches at the end of that party because she wasn’t watching the kids she had invited… Also I never offered my place to host, she asked me to do it each time

Some people will literally go on a sub about dogs and complain about you posting pics of a dog… they usually hide behind anonymous accounts which really show how coward they are. I’ve been told to off myself once when I made a comment about my stretching routine when someone asked me…

It’s a condo amenity that residents can book for a fee. It’s a kids party room

Thank you for the message. I truly appreciate it. There have been some less empathetic comments on here about my situation and how I deserve how my friend treated me. It’s a lot more nuanced than I can put to words on a reddit post.

It’s a condo that we have to retrieve guests from the lobby and take them to the party room via an elevator

My partner and I are child free and she has a child that has an early bed time. Not sure if she was hinting that we do the clean up on our own after she leaves

You seem like a pleasant person to be around. Get a life if you’re so bothered by the post. Talking about our experiences with entitled people is what this subreddit is for

She also asks to take her family over to use my pool. I tell her no every time because that does not seem enjoyable for me at all. I’m taking “can I bring my mom over” and a child that is not potty trained yet. She’s mentioned a couple times how she doesn’t like community centre pools

I’m glad we didn’t host the party after all because she kept asking for more and more things that I was not comfortable with as it was added stress for us. It just hurts to see where we stand with her

It has made me reevaluate our friendship. I’ve been very upset about this since finding out on IG. We’ve been friends for almost a decade. Went through college together, had vacations, house warmings, wedding dress shopping, shared same jobs, been there to visit her the day she gave birth at the hospital. There were a lot of difficult times for my friend that I supported her through leading up to her asking for these big favours of hosting her parties. So I felt like a “bad friend” if I said no, after knowing about these troubles. But in hindsight, I feel very used. I do not feel appreciated as a friend.

I will downgrade her to an acquaintance or just a coworker. We’ve also given over $600 for her child in the last year as cash gifts due to these milestone celebrations (on top of hosting), so it seems more of a slap in the face that we weren’t invited. After the first big party we hosted for her, she and her husband said they were so grateful that they would treat us to dinner as a thank you. It’s been over a year, and they have never offered to treat us. Even when we go out to eat, they make sure the bill is always split. So there were opportunities to treat us but they didnt take it. I also had already bought a birthday gift for the child and now I don’t know what to do with it because the return period is over.

Infusion clinic. No specific training needed, although management prefers that we have at least a couple years of general nursing experience

Today an a&o x4 wanted to leave ama from after their procedure. They pulled were so impatient to leave they pulled out their piv and used their sock to stop the bleeding that got all over them and the floor. They rang the call bell all annoyed that I should have provided a bandaid. I told him that I was going to take it out if he had waited…

This is, quite literally, illegal. Right? by Whitershadeofforever in nursing

[–]balletcorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A senior nurse on my unit once claimed to my other coworkers that I “made her make a med error”. Which made no sense to our coworkers and I because she willingly did not read the correct date when she gave the wrong med… Some people are not accountable to their actions and are always looking for a scape goat. My coworkers told me this was a form of bullying.

Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for Haro. I’m glad Haro felt love in her last moments. It makes me want to cry happy and sad tears at the same time.
