Took DD10 to see Ashley Tisdale on her mall tour on Saturday. Last week, DD asked if she could invite a friend. She invites her friend and she was excited to go. I spoke to the mother and told her we would be going to the mall several hours early, possibly shopping, having lunch and then 'camping out' for a good spot. She said it would be fine. Well, the day before, I firm up that we would pick up her DD around 10am. DH would drop us three off as he, DS15 and DS's friend had plans.
She then says that her DD7 was upset and wanted to go. DD10 barely knows little sister. I apologized that I couldn't take the other dd as I couldn't accomodate her in the car and that it might be difficult keeping track of three girls in the crush. I mentioned that perhaps her or her DH could bring little sister, as they would be home. She then says that little sis had a soccer game until 12:00. I told her that we would be going much earlier than that, as the show started at 1:00. She said okay and that was that.
The next morning I call to let her know that we would be by soon for her DD and she said that after discussing it, they decided her DD couldn't go with us. They preferred "the girls do things together", therefore her DH would take the girls after little sister's game.
So DD10 and I went alone. We had a blast, got a great spot, Great pics and DD got Ashley's autograph. DD's friend didn't get there til the last song. They couldn't find us in the crowd and we never saw them.
So it's Monday and I'm wondering if this is common. I would never expect someone to take DD or DS just because the other was invited. Has this ever happened to you?
