I am feeling so guilty and torn over this and I am probably over thinking.
We are going for a weekend away for my aunts 60th birthday in a couple of weeks - nice cottage, there's 16 of us plus our 2 kids.
Now - we cannot afford this trip. So when asked I said really sorry but we can't afford it.
My aunt then sent me a text saying she really wants us to come and not to worry about the money. I said I couldn't do that as everyone else is paying and as much as we would love to come we just cannot afford it at the moment. She again said not to worry - she really wants us there.
I then got a message from my Dad who said yes we have to come and they will sort it not to worry. So was kinda of backed into not being able to say no...
(For what its worth its the kids they really want there not me and DH haha)
So we're going, but only for 2 nights as kids still in school so coming back the Sunday. They have organised everything for the weekend and I've messaged about what we need to bring food wise etc but they have said they are sorting all the food themselves.
I just feel SO guilty about it. I want to pay (its £80 per adult) but we really don't have the money.
DH made the point that we would just not have been going anyway had they not insisted it was fine - and therefore not paying anything.
Am I a CF? I feel awful knowing everyone else has paid for this weekend cottage and we haven't?
