Do I tell DM about the tickets or not?

[HowDoIKeepSecret]

My DM and I are really close, chat daily, text each other a couple of times a day etc.

She rung me today to say she was disappointed as her so called friends from work are going to a concert she really wants to go to in July but didn't invite. She sounded so upset.

I didn't know her friends were going, seems like they're going on a different night anyway. But I did know they were my DMs favourite band so I got tickets for me and her to go when they went on sale. I was super excited when i got them. I've been saving since they announced their tour on twitter last year.

I've arranged a babysitter for my DD (I know DM will take me as she's always asking me if I'd go to see them with her) and I can't wait to see her face.

They're supposed to be a birthday present for her birthday in March. I felt so sorry for her though. She sounded close to tears, that she wasn't invited by her friends.

WIBU to tell her tomorrow when I see her instead that I've got the tickets, and have had them since they went on sale? I know it kind of ruins the surprise but I do also have a small gift to give her on her actual birthday so it's not like she'll be getting nothing.

Another one to say tell her! You'll make her day - and in some ways, your thoughtfulness now will mean more to her than if you waited until her birthday, IYSWIM. She needs the boost, and you can provide it.

Please tell her asap. I had the same experience as your mum from lifelong friends and it really upset me. I couldn't get my head round it and couldn't stop thinking about it! To have an amazing daughter that had already thought of me would have made such a difference. Do it

Yes, tell her!

What a lovely thoughtful gift! Yes, tell her, it’ll make her day, if not year 😊

I saw madness at the O2 a few months ago. They were brilliant, you will both have a great time !

Definitely tell her tomorrow, I’m sure she’ll be thrilled and it’ll be nice for her to look forward to.

However, it’s not going to change how hurt she has been by her friends 😢

Yes, tell her!

MADNESS brilliant. Bet she will love them!

Tell her :) You'll both take pleasure for a while then,

Then, when you've told her come back and tell us how excited she was. I love that stuff lol

Yes tell her.

Her friends sound horrible but you sound s lovely daughter!

Definitely tell her! It’ll make her feel so much better and she can tell those bitches to shove it

Definitely tell her, it will be such a boost. You're a lovely daughter.

Yes tell her, I’ve seen Madness, you’ll have a great time

Tell her! Madness put on a cracking show. She’ll love it

Tell her. Then she can keep the excitement burning until you go.

You have to tell her! Apart from her otherwise feeling miserable until her birthday, there is also a risk that she finds someone else to go with before then - even the work friends may suggest that she comes too once they realise she’s upset.
Also, if you wait until March she’ll probably suspect that you only got the tickets AFTER she told you - which wouldn’t make it any less lovely but might tarnish it a bit for her. She may feel that you did it out of pity, iyswim.

Tell her and at least she can tell the so called friends she’s going with her daughter anyway .
