Just Said Yes April 2018

My moh decided not to make it to my bachelorette..

Jacqueline, on March 18, 2018 at 10:10 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 22
So i had my bachelorette this weekend in PHX after changing plans because of my MOH. She is a teacher and had told us she was going to have to work half day friday which we all agreed it was fine. On Friday the day we were suppose to leave i ask her just to confirm our plans are still on to leave at 12 and she texts me telling me she didnt get a sub and she wont get off till 3..i got very upset and called my mom right away she told me that she thought i knew already because she had already told my mom amd my aunt that she was getting off at 3..i had no idea about this and i even saw her days before and she did not tell me anything until 2hours before we had planned to leave. My bridesmaid were pissed we all sacrificed our time and families to go and so we all decided to just go ahead and leave at scheduled time and have her catch up to us later which she then agreed she would. Friday night she lets me know she wont make it but she will be in PHX saturday. Well she bails and decides not come at all because she got pissed that we left her. My MOH is my cousin practically my sister and we live together btw. I had a blast with my girls and they made my time very special but now that im home i cant help but still feel upset with my MOH. Am i wrong for thinking of me for once and taking off without her?

    She had work. You need to be understanding to her life and plans. Attending (and throwing) Bachelorette parties are not mandatory.

    Who planned/hosted your bachelorette party if not your MOH? It's really rude and demanding to host your own Bachelorette party and demand people attend.

    She planned it all i didn't demand any thing. I understand she works i get that thats why we all didnt mind when she said she worked half day. But when you lie and tell us yes everything is confirmed and then you find out days before its not but yet dont tell none of the bridesmaids or me about the change until the day of the event. That does piss off a few people if she would have told us before we could have worked around it.

    This seems like a pretty small thing to be mad about. Life happens maybe she honestly forgot to tell you that she couldn't get off until 3. I don't see why it was that big of a deal to just leave a few hours later.

    Nope, not wrong at all. She didn't think of you to tell you her plans had changed until just before. And on top of that she agreed to meet you later then basically threw a fit because you left without her. She could have met you there after she agreed she would.

    Yes you could have waited 3 more hours but you had plans. You arranged the schedule to fit her schedule. You did what you could do. I'd be upset too, but I'd say let it go and things will be fine.

    Since she planned it, I probably would not have left without her. But what did she plan? Because clearly the show went on without her there. Was her credit card down for stuff? How did y’all check in to your accommodations? Did she pay for activities? Either way it sucks all around, she should of communicated more and maybe you guys could have waited a few more hours. Hope y’all can move passed this.

    To be fair, her sub could have cancelled that morning. It happens at my school with some regularity that subs cancel at the last minute. Not much else she could have done in that situation.

    She probably could/should have let you know sooner, but if you were still able to go I don't see what the point of brooding about the situation is. If this person is really like your sister, I'm not entirely sure why you didn't just wait two hours so she could join you. I would honestly just let it go, what's done is done.

    It's possible she was hoping that an alternate sub could be found after the first sub cancelled, and she didn't realize until day-of that there would definitely not be any alternate sub available. Teachers get very limited time off and are generally supposed to take their vacations during school holidays. I think that she should have communicated better, but I don't blame her for not being able to take the time off.

    Well honestly as a MOH she doesn't have to show up to anything but the wedding. I know it sucks she missed this important event for you. But Im sure she wanted to go. Don't tell this one ever ruin a friendship.

    I'm a teacher, and I hate taking time off, especially if I can't get a sub.... When I can't they make me send a few kids to each of the other teachers and it's a burden on my coworkers. I also don't have tons of time to sit around on my phone or reach out to other people....because I'm working with 30 kids.

    Depending on when her plans changed she could have let you know on her planning, but you could have also waited the three hours. I say you let it go, the big deal here is the wedding, you marrying your FS, not partying with your girls.

    So she couldn’t get a sub which isn’t her fault. She may have waited until the last day because maybe her sub cancelled, maybe there was a chance she would get one at the last minute, it sounds like you’re letting anger cloud your judgment. And then you “all just decided to go ahead,” which implies you didn’t have any flights you needed to make or they would be cancelled.

    Yeah, if I planned your entire bachelorette party, tried so hard to get a substitute to cover my class and couldn’t, and you all couldn’t wait a few hours and left me to drive alone after I had planned everything for you? I wouldn’t go either.

    Why couldn’t you all wait three more hours for her? I’d let this go.

    I am a teacher too and her sub could have cancelled, admin was cracking down, lots of things. No sub and you are going to a funeral? Fine. No sub and you are attending a bachelorette party? Not such a great idea. Then you left without her? Ouch. That would speak volumes to me.

    Let it go.

    Eh, it is not worth wasted days being upset, imo.

    I would be upset with her. Sounds like she knew with plenty of time that she would be working a full day. That’s just inconsiderate. With that being said I don’t know if I would have left without her or not. Try to stay calm and consider her side when you talk to her there may be factors you haven’t considered which contributed to her not getting off.

    I understand why you're mad, but I think you have to talk it out with your cousin and let it go. For my bachelorette we're also leaving on a Friday. Any one that can't get off of work (so far only one person) is just going to drive by themselves and meet us at the hotel. It isn't really fair for a whole group to wait on one person. I guess it's an unpopular opinion but I think since your cousin wasn't able (or decided not to) tell you ahead of time she should have told you guys to go ahead and she'd meet you after work. To me, that would have been more polite then "oh you're all ready to leave? well wait 2 more hours for me". If it was important to her to go with the group she would have texted you all before you texted her (she clearly could have because she told your mom before she texted you) that she's sorry, she has to work, please wait for her instead of just expecting that you guys would wait without even letting you know she was at work

    Maybe she could have communicated a little better, but I know with teachers, they may not always be aware of whether or not they're getting a sub. It sounds to me like you didn't have a flight to catch or anything, and while I can understand being a little annoyed at the delay, I don't think this is something you should hold onto.

    She may have stayed home the next day because she felt like she was already dragging everyone down because of the Friday delay and didn't feel welcome on Saturday. I feel like the two of you need to come together and apologize.

    As a teacher, I can tell you how difficult finding a sub can be. She may have had one booked and they cancelled on her. It's not like an office job where you can just leave your work, she can't leave the kids unless there is a sub there.

    I do wish she'd come in on Saturday like she said but it seems like her feelings were hurt. I think it's time to meet up and have a conversation so you can move past this.

    I would just talk to her about it. It sounds like she felt left behind and sometimes we make decisions based on emotion rather than logic. I bet if you two sat down and bashed it out, you’d feel much better
