for Christmas and birthdays and other events my mum likes to buy me and my 2 sisters vouchers for facials, massages etc. there are my favourite type of gift as I don’t often have the money to book these things myself. When she gives them she always says “you 3 can all book together and make a day of it” which sounds good in theory. We all have children and it’s hard getting a time that works for us all. Plus, I like to use my voucher soon after receiving it whereas my 2 sisters leave it a few months.
initially I always suggested a few dates but they never suited or they didn’t reply. Now I book on myself when suits me. Keep in mind these are now ‘spa day’ type vouchers which then maybe I would be more inclined to go as a group.
now I’m seen as the one who ‘does her own thing’ and my mum is cross about it that we don’t all go together. The other 2 sisters don’t usually then go together, in fact they’re usually scrambling to get booked before it expires
AIBU?
