Accidentally booked tickets a Bricktastic Lego event on Mother's day

My DD (13) is really into Lego so I booked tickets to Bricktastic event where people look at and sell Lego. It was £10 for 3 of us but I didn't realise til after I booked that it was on Mother's Day.
I have not told my daughter about it and I would rather have a lie in (it is at 10.30) and go to a late lunch which is booked for 14.30.
AIBU to just not go or am I being a bit mean.

I would go and make DD happy if it's something she is really into, most kids that age just want to sit and stare at screens all day so I think it's lovely she has a hobby she is in to

A new softplay is opening up in my local area on mother's day so I'm taking my DS (4) and will spend the morning listening to a bunch of hyperactive kids running around but if DS is happy then I'm happy

You can have lay ins on other days apart from mothers days.

Last year I went to a Gaming Market with DD in the morning, then we went to Lunch. Lovely day

Why wouldn't you want to do something enjoyable with your daughter on Mothers Day? My favourite think about Fathers day is that DD actually wants to spend time with me doing something enjoyable!

Have your lie in on Saturday instead? Your 13 year old can bring you breakfast in bed

Sorry but you are been a bit mean, spend the day with your kid then have a lovely later lunch.

Sounds like a great thing to do, fun activity and then out for a late lunch.

10.30 is not an early start.

But if you really want a long.lie in one day. Then just lie in on the Saturday

Can you swap your lie-in to another day? Or get another adult (is there another parent on the scene?) To take DD while you have time to yourself before lunch?

Personally I would still go. 10.30 isn’t that early and sounds like it would be a nice thing to do together before your lunch.

I mean, doing something with your daughter on Mother’s Day is sort of the point, isn’t it? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not that I ever plan anything or even know when it is.
