ok...ever come across those situations where u have to kinda choose between ur friend or family?? well i need some advice...an i know it seems shallow..but yeh... basically my friend's having a birthday do on Saturday..which is the same day as my auntie's b'day do.. but i cant go to both cos i got work afterwards...so my friend decided to set everything up earlier for me but i hardly get to see my auntie as she lives outside London...what to do? plus i know my friend's guna get proper pissed at me if i dont go...but then i wana see my auntie... this is probably a small problem to some but still..help plz...=s
I choose family... i know a lot of youngins would choose friends... i know blood is thicker than water is a lame cliche... but look at it this way... u can't change your blood to ur friends... so family is always obligation, always first...
Would say family also. Try to explain to your friend that its your aunty's BDay and that you really want to see her. Just buy a gift for your friend as consolation for not going to their party.
yeah, i definitely agree with Iris. Besides you can always make it up to your friend when you get back or try to celebrate it earlier. IMO, you're already being a good friend since you've taken the time to considering which party to go to and discussing it with that person. So I hope it all works out with either choice you make
Yeh like something said above you answered your own question, you would rather see your auntie so the question becomes: How do I tell my friend I cant go to her Bday whilst not pissing her off?
lol call me cold blooded, but i wouild pick going to a friends party, maybe its because i dont like my reletives very much, lol
this would normally fall under how close are you with your friend or family, and how many times do you see them. if it was me, i would go to the aunt's birthday. friends you can see any time. your friend might want you to go cause she wants you to get her a present! lol
thank you for ur replies!! but to kdotc: i cant skip work cos work is family aswel...><" but seeing how i have already subconsciously decided which one 2 go to... i quote dim8sum: How can i tell my friend without pissing her off n possibly not lose her as a friend??
go to your auntie...for your friend tell them the wots going on and get them a nice present they will understand in the end..
i'm guna tell her 2moro b4 enrichment...and hopefully she will understand if not she guna screw me for sure and be pissed off at me....
i think if she was a good enough friend she would give you some stick about not showing up but she wouldnt take it to heart you could always do something with her later, which is easier than doing something later with your auntie
well i told her this morning.... dun dun dun!!! XD she went quiet n didnt say anything...=/ then i said i was sorry... she said it was ok..but how comes i didnt tell her cos she changed the times for me... i felt really bad like...but she said it was ok...my friend took it suprisingly well... but i promised to make it up to her so its all good now...
