Thanks for the attitude.

I'm rather disappointed with my friend due to some attitude he gave me yesterday. <br>I've been extremely busy, and under a TON of stress from school, studying for my drivers permit test, and helping out my family. Due to all of that, it's been about a month since I have been able to get on and play video games over xbox live with all my friends like I use to. That's normally how we communicate, but if it's important emails can always be sent. Well, my friend and brother made plans about 2-3 weeks ago to hang out on the 24th-25th, since both my brother and I would be in the same city with family for the holidays. I was in the middle of finals when I heard these plans from my mother, who heard them through my brother, so I turned them down, because I want a relaxing holiday with my family, after being so stressed out over everything for weeks. I also want to spend time with my grandmother, who I barely see anymore. That same day I talked to my brother, and relayed the message that I would not be going and that they really shouldn't make plans that include me, without talking to me first. Well, turns out my brother forgot to tell him. After not playing for a long time, I finally spent a day playing games with my brother yesterday. Well, my friend got on later in the day and the conversation bothered me.<br><br>Friend to me: What day am I picking you guys(referring to my brother and I) up?<br>Me to friend: What are you talking about?<br>Friend to me: Wow, don't tell me you forgot. We're hanging out this weekend.<br>Me to friend: I'm not going. Didn't my brother tell you?<br>My brother: Oh, that's right. I forgot to tell him.<br>My friend to me: Woooow...that changes everything. Why aren't you coming?<br>Me to friend: I'm spending time with my grandmother.<br>My friend to me: Why didn't you get on and tell me?! You knew your brother would forget. <br><br>At that point I just stopped talking, because he got an attitude like it was all my fault for thinking my brother would remember to tell him, instead of going out of my way while so stressed out from life to inform him that I wasn't going. I get that's it's a little frustrating to have plans change so suddenly like that, but it just really ticks me off that he wants to have some double standard like it's <span style="font-style:italic">not </span>his responsibility to directly contact me to make plans, but it's my duty to directly contact him to confirm the plans. <br><br>I was having a good day too, and that just kind of put me in a bad mood, which I'm still in today.
