Hi all
I really need your help / advice.........
My Daughter, Amber , has just sold some items and earnt herself £20. She has now told me she has booked a table for her and me to eat at COSMO Restaurant tomorrow evening as a thank you for all I do for her..... Cosmo is a restaurant where everything is buffet style eat as much as you can kind.... one of my fave restaurants!!
My problem is this.......
(1) I feel awkward as KNOW that the 2 meals will take up all of her £20 which I feel is wrong
(2) Not long been back on diet plan and I KNOW I cannot be trusted in that restaurant and would want Amber to get her monies worth !!! It would ensure a gain come Monday and I still wouldn't know if my new stricter plan works or not.....
Yesterday she told me she'd been thinking of this then told me she might want to spend the money on herself instead to which I agreed AND offered to accompany her to town as a bonding experience like the meal would've been - one 2 one....
NOW she has texted me to say the restaurant is booked!!!!! Tomorrow night 6.30pm !!!!!!
What should I do? I don't want to hurt her feelings , I don't want to ruin my chances of a loss, I don't want her to regret spending her money on me once spent...
I have no spare cash to contribute AND IF I DID then I'd have to equal it for Aimee and Michael making it 3 times as much..... ALSO Dean is wondering why he hasn't been invited so got him feeling left out too....
WHAT DO I DO?
Do I GO, ENJOY the meal and thank her?
Do I refuse to go, thank her anyway and insist the money is spent on herself?
Do I blame the diet and ask her to delay til say nearer my Birthday so as to combine treat ?
Please bear in mind I have already suggested the latter two but to no avail.....
What if we do go, I gain, she's poor then she tells me she wishes she hadn't done it .... what would I say then? I CANNOT repay her without equalling elsewhere!!!
Confused - help please a.s.a.p
