I bowl on a summer league (it's 15 weeks) last night was week 8. We had a new person bowling with us who had bowled in the winter league I used to bowl in but on a different team.
Last night we along with the team we bowled were the last ones to leave; during the second game she started rushing everyone because she had to drive back to her house 45 minutes to an hour away. She is suppose to be joining our team (maybe). We finished at 10:15 pm one of our earlier nights (my exact words to her), She then says well we would have gotten finished earlier if you hadn't been distracting So and So by talking.

Excuse me but I don't come to bowl to be rushed through games just because someone has to drive home.. I come to have fun and some adult time. (occassionally I have to bring the kids with me--like last night which is something she hates too). Also I have bowled the previous weeks and it doesn't matter if we talk or not 10:15 or later is what time we get done.

I didn't know what to say to that because in order for me to have talked to so and so, so and so would have had to talk to me... but did she say anything to her no. I just walked away and put the baby in her car seat and got the other two and left, so and so saw me and I told her what was wrong.

I plan to tell the others if she comes back to bowl on the team they will need to replace me I don't need her type of drama and blaming me, I put up with that on the winter league for 3 yrs before finally having the team die, I won't put up with it again.

It sounds like this woman is to wrapped up in her own needs to really be part of a team. Hopefully, your other teammates will see that. (((Hugs)))

Will she turn into a pumpkin if she's not home in time?

Hugs to you and good for you for being able to say 'no' to the drama. I hope it turns out ok.
