👥 friendship Am I overreacting here????

Post image

For context, for my gf’s 30th birthday, her mom and I have been planing a super luxurious and decently expensive secret spa weekend for months now. It’s a secret she knows nothing about. One of my gf’s former coworkers texted and asked her if she wanted to go see a play the weekend we planned on sending her, an in a desperate attempt to preserve the secret, I texted her friend, who then responded with this. I didn’t think what I sent was rude, am I wrong here?

Seems like you and your GF's mom took a pretty big gamble.

It's quite rude of them actually, to assume the birthday girl isn't going to have any plans on said date and that she'll magically be available on the spot.

It gets even worse after she's made plans and is forced to let one party down because obviously she won't be able to do both, and might even feel guilty about that when it's not even her fault :/

If i was the girl in question id be pissed. (Stuff like this does frequently happen to me but I don't think anyone wants to be out of the loop on their own life)
