I'm Sorry, The Party is Cancelled
BurninDinner:
I like Andi's response. Daughter belongs in like, e-purgatory. Lying or cancelling the whole thing is not the BEST way to handle it, but certainly less e-hell worthy than adding an unwelcome guest and asking the birthday girl to drive!
Poor daughter! How tacky to ask to bring a BF. I had a college friend who would bring her boyfriend to specifically stated Girls Nights. Um...
LadyJaneinMD:
Well, at least Daughter knows who her real friends are now. Clueless sounds like she's going to be one of those friends who is only around when she doesn't have a Man In Her Life. Unfortunately, I know several women like that, and we're in our 30s and 40s now!
Keep us posted. I'd love to see how this plays out.

"If you'd rather spend the evening with Boyfriend, I totally understand. We'll miss you...let's catch up another time."

Me too. What was worse, was that this friend and her boyfriend would inevitably coax us into changing the plans to do what boyfriend wanted.
One time, what was meant to be a nice "Girl's Dinner" at a cafe, ended up being a quick kebab in a food court, and then meeting up with a horde of boyfriend's mates to play some kind of violent laser gun game in the arcade...
If I had been more assertive back in those days, I would have just gone home.
