My father in law occasionally gets cheap tickets for him and dp to go to football matches. Neither of them are avid supporters by any stretch of the imagination.
Today at lunch he said he had a very very special present for dd and totally hyped it up until by the end dd was expecting him to bring out a flying unicorn or something. He said he has got her a ticket to the match with him and her daddy!
She’s 4. There will be so many crowds and chanting and drunk people and swearing I just think it’s totally inappropriate. Can guarantee she will need a wee at least twice and the thought of the men’s toilets in a football ground is just vile. She will be with her dad so I’m not worried from a safety point of view more hygiene. She’s never shown the slightest interest in football in her life.
Dp is pissed off that it means he won’t be able to go for a couple of pints before and after the game. And pissed off that his dad hadn’t told him he planned to invite dd.
I said I didn’t want her to go and that we should just say she’s not old enough.
Dp thinks he should just take her and that she might like it, and if she doesn’t they can just leave.
I asked dd and she said she wants to go with grandpa.
What do I do? I’ve never been to a match in my life’s and he has so he knows better than me.
