Or am I being a baby??

I’ve been ill since Christmas Eve. in bed feeling wretched.

Yesterday DH and DS went out for the day and stayed away and are home later today. This was a pre booked event. Dd has been home with me. DH is on hiswas home and has said him and DS are off our as soon as they get back to play football.

I feel so rough. And sorry for myself but also so sad for Dd who is bored. The football has been planned for ages. But I think DH could give it a miss to spend time with Dd.

AITA?

I would have thought the last thing a teenager would want to do was hang around with their parents.

She’s 13 and no they are un a footy match.

13? Would she not rather see friends? Did she not want to go to their day event?
no i don’t think it’s fair to make them cancel going to a league game to keep a 13 yo entertained.

Has she got any friends that she could see? The teen who live across the street from me have just come back home with a friend and a Starbucks that they probably bought at the shop about 20 mins away by foot.

I thought you were taking about a toddler or young child not a teenager. They don't need looking after. Why doesn't she just go out with friends.

It’s their league Christmas match. It’s casual but it is planned.
