A Friendship Tested: The Fallout of the Girls Trip

In a whirlwind of emotions, our protagonist finds herself in the middle of a brewing conflict. She’s been accommodating her best friend’s baby in all their plans, but now, she just wants one carefree holiday with her friends. But when she fails to invite her best friend to their annual girls trip, knowing she wouldn’t leave her baby behind, the situation takes a turn. Accusations fly, feelings are hurt, and the question remains: who’s in the wrong? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this…

NTA – Friends shouldn’t have to change their lifestyle for her ‍♀️

Friendship tested by motherhood: NTA vs. separation anxiety.

NTA: You’ve made efforts, but she’s being controlling and judgmental

“NTA. No need to be awkward. We want child-free fun! “

NTA. Set boundaries and communicate clearly. Not every event is baby-friendly.

NTA: Friend wants to bring child on girls trip, needs new friends

Girls trip, no kids allowed! NTA, set those boundaries

NTA but your friend sure is. She made a choice to have a baby young, and now wants to make sure that all of her friends live as if they too have made this choice? No fun can be had that doesn’t include her spawn? NOPE NOPITY NOPE NOPE.

Also: you’re MORE THAN ENTITLED to not want to spend time with a literal baby. What this sounds like to me is a spoilt girl who made a choice, and now never wants to feel like she’s missing out on anything, so she’ll guilt you into thinking YOU’RE the immature one. For wanting to do things that are perfectly normal for your age group.

She needs to go make some mommy friends and they can all spend time picking half digested cheerio’s out of each other’s hair and comparing their kids bowel movements or whatever.

NTA – Accommodating friend needs space from baby.
