Friend Brings Her Kids Everywhere!
Some of my coworkers and friends are planning to go to dinner and billiards tomorrow night. Nobody wanted to ask Michaeline because she always brings her kids. So after thinking about it for a while we decide to ask her anyway and just ask her not to bring her kids. So I asked her yesterday and she said okay cool she'll be there. She didn't bring up the kids like she normally does so no one else brought it up either.
Today, she brings up the dinner & billiards. She asked when were we going and I said around 8. She said damn my boys are gonna be too sleepy to go by then but oh well. So I said to her well Michaeline we kind of wanted adults only so leave them with Bray (her husband). She got offended and stormed off.
So now her feelings are hurt but... I really didn't mean to hurt them. How do i talk to her about this without her being so defensive? I mean she brings her kids everywhere!! Plus they are bad as hell.
