I have a difficult situation, for me at least. My family(husband, two sons and myself) have been invited to go camping on Memorial Day weekend, with some neighbor friends(they are paying for campsite and are going to make reservations). The problem is this other neighbor friend of mine(my only currrent friend). My friend and i usually go shopping together and to other outings with our sons. My family and hers has gone camping every year at least once a year for the last 4 year. She has been wanting to go on an out of town trip with us, but she is very neurotic(meaning, you never know what her mood is going to be like, and I really don't want to get into a big argument at the campgrouod)(this happened about 6 years ago, she went completely nuts, and got herself banned from the park, and we didn't talk to each other for 2 years.) Even within the last couple years, we have had major issues, such as her not wanting to leave a day sooner than planned becasue a major tornado procucing storm was comming directly our way(we finaly all left, and the tornado ended up killing a few kids at a scout camp near by.)
The Big issue is that we were invited by this neighbor that we both talk to, but she didn't. I have't mentioned anything aobut it to her yet, becasue I know that she is going to blow up and start yelling about her not being invited and us getting invited. IF she were invited and we werent', it wouldn't be any big deal to her. But it is US that was invited and not her, so she WILL make a big stink of it, and could cause some major friction between us. (We live in townhomes and share a front porch and middle wall). she is NOT the person that you want as an enemy. I don't know how to bring this topic up wiht her. I will need her to feed my fish and care for my rats and cats while I am gone.( we do the same for her when they go on vacation.) any advice.
