To be pissed off that my DD had buggered off with her friends

DD (10) is really into gymnastics and we have been planning for ages how we will watch the Olympic action together. I have been working all day but had planned to stop in time to sit down and watch the women's final with her this afternoon (which she knew) but about an hour ago some friends called for her and now she tells me they're all going to watch it together at her friend's house instead. I'm trying hard to see it from her POV but I'm really upset, I try bloody hard to juggle everything in the holidays (like most parents) to ensure she has a nice time and it's not easy, but she doesn't appreciate it at all, the minute any of her friends appears she is not interested in anything we have planned.

AIBU to feel throroughly pissed off and wonder why I bloody bother?

She's 10. Why is she telling you where she will be, rather than the other way round? Confused

Penis - she wasn't telling me, she asked if she could go but made it obvious what she would rather do. I realise I said 'now she tells me...' in my OP but she did actually ask, thankfully we haven't reached that stage yet even if I don't much like the one we are at.
