Moms-only weekend? Oh sorry have to bring my toddler! Grrrr.

Yeah, me too. But this is breaking mom. Which doesn't mean you shouldn't be fucking pissed. But maybe, JUST MAYBE, this weekend is all that mom friend has right now. She's clinging to sanity with her teeth. And he just can't live with the idea of not getting to go, her shitty husband suddenly remembered he's got to work/fish/fuck around online/fuck his mistress/not parent in general and she just decided to say fuck it. Breaking the rules? ABSOLUTELY. But maybe that's the only way she's staying sane this month.

Selfish? Fuck yes. Ruining the weekend? Probably not. That many moms outnumber one three year old, even a terror. And she has to sleep eventually. You still get the rest of the experience, the weekend without the kid, and the company of your friends. PLUS A FUCKING LAKE HOUSE!

In the worst case scenario, just go take yourself to the movies. Eat breakfast by yourself. Sit out on the lake and drink coffee and breath. One three year old WILL NOT RUIN this, you're stronger than that. You can rally and still get the relaxing weekend you deserve.
