AITA FOR UNINVITING MY FRIEND FROM MY DAUGHTERS BDAY PARTY?

Post Body

So Iā€™ve been friends with, letā€™s call her Bailey. Iā€™ve been friends with Bailey for over 3 years. We met at work and we got close quick. Our friendship has been good sheā€™s always been a ā€œrealā€ one. Iā€™ve invited her to one or two of my daughterā€™s parties and she hasnā€™t came which thatā€™s fine, I donā€™t expect anyone to show up. Everyone has their own lives and I understand that. I went to her baby shower when she was pregnant and I was legit her only friend that came. Everyone else was her dudes friends/fam. She seemed appreciative that I showed up and for the stuff I got the baby. I invited her to my daughterā€™s bday party which is next week.Well Bailey asked me a few weeks if she could borrow a little money, she has asked a few times before but Iā€™m a single mom I usually donā€™t have anything left over to help her. I let her borrow the the money, she said she would have it Thursday when her dude gets paid I asked if she was for sure she said yeah. Thursday comes and I donā€™t hear from her, Friday she messaged me and says sheā€™s waiting for him to get off work so she can send it. Didnā€™t get it Friday. Saturday rolls around and same thing she texts me and says when he gets out the shower Iā€™ll have him send it to you. Itā€™s been about 3 weeks and she hasnā€™t even been opening my messages on Snapchat (primary source of communication) she has still been posting to her story on snap and posting stuff on facebook so I feel like she has to be avoiding my to not even open our chat. Well I uninvited her from the event page for my daughter party(although she either hasnā€™t noticed or isnā€™t gonna say anything bc she owes me). I feel bad that I uninvited them bc I know her son would have a blast but she hasnā€™t even acknowledged that sheā€™s owed me in weeks, is completely avoiding me. Iā€™m not even upset about the money I personally consider borrowed money, spent money but I figured I could trust her as sheā€™s never given me a reason not to until now. I want to message her on Facebook and say something like ā€œIt really seems like your avoiding me and I just want to tell you idc about the money if you donā€™t have it you donā€™t have it, Iā€™m more upset that you arenā€™t responding to me than anything. . Also feel itā€™s important to note that the amount she borrowed is the same amount that her sons slot for party costs so Iā€™d be losing out on twice as much if I still let them come but I feel like such an AH from taking this away from her son, although there isnā€™t any guarantee that they would have actually come. Iā€™m new to setting boundaries and it just feels mean to uninvite them over this.

NTA! Iā€™m glad youā€™re setting boundaries but Iā€™m also sad youā€™re going through this especially with someone you considered a friend. Iā€™d say send the message you typed on here so thereā€™s no bad blood but personally, Iā€™d keep her at a distance going forward.
