It was after 7:30 pm. Being pregnant and tired. I got ready for bed about a 1/2 an hour ealier. I told her I was already dressed for bed. She said I could change. I hadn't seen her in a week, so I did. And we went to Starbucks where I had chocolate milk, and a nice conversation. What would you have done? Stayed home or gone out?

I probably would have invited the friend over for some cookies and milk or something and had a little visit. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

I like to think, if my friends invited me out, I would go ahead and go. I might not exactly wish to go out, but unless I was sick or had to get up especially early I would make the effort for my friends. I'm glad you had a good time.

If it had only been a week I would have said I was tired and wanted to go to bed. Now if it were one of my friends that I see only on rare occassions I would go to meet them.

It just depends on how tired I feel, ersmommy. If I were really tired, I would have told her firmly to excuse me. If she still said she needed to see me, I would have asked her to come to my house. If I were feeling like a little outing, I would have accepted her invitation. Cheers and happy mylotting

Once I am ready for bed .. all relaxed I am done for the evening. being in your condtion you need all the reart you can get .. and a real friend would understand and support it .. I would have stayed home and made plans to see my friend the next day :) Just my 2 cents

Depends on how tired I was at the time. Most of the time, even if I am ready for bed, I would go out. 7:30 is still pretty early.

Depends on just how tired and where and what the friend wanted to do. It sounds like you have a real friend there, wanting to see you but being considerate enough to do something that was not too tiring for you.

It would have depended on how I was feeling and if I had the motivation to actually leave the house. I've never been pregnant but I'm sure it will take a lot out of me when I am. Generally, for friends I have seen for a period of time I will go out with them just so we can have a great conversation and catch up on gossip and such. Plus I'm a big people person and that is my nature.

It all depends on how tired I really was. If I was flat out exhausted I would have tried to reschedule for another time, but if I was just kind of tired I would have gone.

Well, it would depend on if I am slightly tired or ready to pass out tired I think. But sometimes when my friends want to hang out and I am too busy on that day or just too tired I could hear the disappointment at times. I hate that, so I usually ask them if they could come over another day and we'd watch a DVD or listen music and chat it up! For me, going out that night would all depend on how tired I was. Yesterday I was "ready to pass out" tired so I don't think I would have been able stay awake or even on my feet if I had to go out.

It's important to hang on to friendships, and it gets increasingly difficult after you've married and had children. I know from experience. All of my friends stayed on their "single and clubbing" paths, and I ended up losing every one of them once I got married and started my family. Today I have very few friends, most of which are through the internet and don't even live in my area. If I had a friend nearby who called and wanted to see me, I'd go without question.

well i would have stayed at home unless i was wanting to meet this friend for long.. but then agian if i was dressed and pregnant and everything then no and if i had said no the friend then i think she should have understood and met another day

With me it would really depend on if I felt like going out that day or if I was really tired. It just depends on the mood I am in around the time I received the call.

That would have depended on how tired I was! It sounds like you had an awesome time! It's good to get out of the house every now and then. It usually lifts the spirit.

I probably would have went. Atleast if that would happen to me now I would. Its nice to be able to go out and do things with your friends. Plus you don't want to alienate your friends. Things change when you have kids, you tend to lose your friends that don't have kids. So if you keep your friends close that will be less likely.
