Sometimes, yes
Depending upon their other commitments, their work schedules, etc.
DH and I have a couple we are good friends with. She’s a nurse (so works weekends). DH is a pharmacist (so works some weekends and holidays). I coach volleyball, so evenings were tied up for me. We have been trying to get together since Christmas— we are finally hanging out August 3 and giving them their Christmas gift then (which, btw, I’ve forgotten what I even got them).
I just looked at my calendar— I have swim lessons with DD every Saturday, a wedding shower, a graduation party, a wedding, two kids’ birthday parties, my own daughter’s birthday party. I only have one free Saturday until the end of September
And if I’m being honest, sometimes I need time and space to breathe after being busy. So, sure, I could squeeze in coffee with a friend before church on Sunday, but if I’m being honest, I like having that time to maybe sleep in or lounge in my pajamas before church
I need “me time” too.
So short answer: yes, some people are truly scheduled for months out and may also need some space and margin in their life to just breathe. It’s frustrating and hard
