DD came out of school, the weather not so bright infact drizzling of rain.Me and ds already soaked to the bone.

Anyway dd comes out and says she has a book sale, now I have no money on me, not alot in the house.she starts crying infront of everyone saying she really wants a new book.

I told her that she can get one Saturday but no she said that is too long.So I ended up shouting at her and embarressing myself.

She then wanted me to get my money and walk back over to the school in the rain.I said no,last time there was a book sale I bought her a book.I would not deprive her of a book but she just made a right meal out of it.

Not really my fault, but AIBU fot not walking back to the school?

It's embarrassment - with my DS1 he would get all disappointed if he came out of school wanting someone round for tea and I said NO. He'd kick up a big fuss at this age and it used to feel like he was the only one having a strop.

It's also the fact that you look forward to seeing them and then they are 'orrible.
