AIBU about DD15 behaviour should I say something to best friend

[pixie45]

Today I went cinema with DD15, best friend, her DD19 & her boyfriend who came last min.

Before they came DD15 said to me she didn’t want to sit with best friends DD19/her boyfriend I said to her this is how seating arrangement are - basically when we do go cinema DD15/Best Friends DD19 always sit in front together & this has never been a issue before everyone including DD15 were happy with this.

Anyway once they came my DD15 said in front of my best friend I’m sitting at the back with you I don’t want to sit next to them I said to her no this is the seating arrangements like always. Again DD15 said no I’m not sitting at the front I don’t want to I’m sitting next to you at the back, again I said no, at this point my best friend looked on in disbelief then she walked off to her DD19/boyfriend which I was very embarrassed about I did tell DD15 off though.

When we were walking into cinema my best friend said to me don’t she want to sit next to my daughter cos her boyfriend is here I said don’t worry about it but I was very embarrassed. When we went into the cinema my DD15 pulled a face at having to sit next to them.

Was I being unreasonable to not let DD15 sit next to me? Should I say anything to my best friend?

Why aren’t you all just sitting together?

What did you go to see? 😂

It wasn't the new IT film was it? Just wondering if she could of been a little scared and not wanting the other two to notice

Regardless, no matter how many changes you make to the story YABU

My first thought was wandering hands. Or sitting next to something going on that felt uncomfortable with.

What the actual fuck lol

You were very insensitive. Having booked the seats the way you did you your BF and your DD could have sat i the 3 seats at the front and the couple in the 2 seats behind. Can you not see why she may have felt awkward? Next time book a row of seats like everyone else does

Crazy! Didn't think I was reading it right, but seems like I was. Yabu

OP, in your original post you said

The boyfriend was a last-minute addition which changed the dynamic but for some reason you inisisted that everyone has to stick to their usual separate rows because... that's how you always do it

And this bit Before tickets were booked I told DD15 that best friends DD19 was coming with her boyfriend and she said yes that’s fine I also told her about seating she said yes that’s fine I don’t mind sitting next to them is just bollocks isn't it? Otherwise you'd have said this in the OP.

The couple could have sat in the two seats in the back row and you, your daughter and your friend in the row of three confused

Exactly my thoughts swap rows problem solved

Your out of order she was obviously uncomfortable and u forced her to sit there. Think you owe her an apology

If my DD15 was uncomfortable sitting beside someone else I would happily let her sit beside me, why would you force her to do that? YABVU!

This thread is complete bullshit.

The only person who behaved like an unreasonable child here, was you.
Your daughter told you she didn't wish to be seated next to the older girl and her boyfriend. In that situation, who wants to be a third wheel?
You insisted on making a scene and making it weird. You embarrassed her and yourself too.
You should be apologising to your daughter.

“Next time I think I’ll have to book us all in a line”

God help us all!

You were wrong OP. Controlling, narrow minded and a bit weird.

Next time be on your own DD’s side.
