To go by myself?

[RoseMartha]

I had an email today about 50% off main course at Toby. Mon-Thurs.
So as my teens like a roast there and we hadnt been since last summer.
I suggested we went early one evening.

I wish I hadnt bothered as they said no as it will be boring with the 3 of us and that only if it is a big family get together and you can just cook us one.

I said some people go on their own, at which point they said that was for losers.

I explained I thought it was a nice family thing to do as a treat and I was hurt they said not interested.

Aibu to go on my own while they have dinner at their dads one night.

I wouldn’t and have never gone out to a restaurant alone, people say they do all the time on here but honestly I don’t know anyone that does.

I don't really get what you mean by this. Are you suggesting that the posters on Mn who say they do things alone are making it up? Or that there's some disconnect between the type of people on MN and your social circle?

How do you know that you don't know people who do things alone anyway? If someone said they'd been to the cinema last night I might ask them "what did you see/was it any good?" I wouldn't ask them "who did you go with?"

OP I'd go when your kids are home and get them to cook themselves dinner! Strange kids, I can't imagine refusing free food when I was a teen (or now....!)

Never mind going when they are at their dads. Actually I would tell them that you have booked to go, they either come, or make their own meal

I used to work away and eat out alone all the time, it's amazing!

Me too!! Especially Paris, the waiters in my favourite restaurant there there treat me like a Queen & remembered me when I went back. Great food, wine & beautiful surroundings & a book or sketchbook. Bliss

Thank you all I will. I am hoping to go next week. But it will have to be when they are at their dad as one of them cant be left alone without an adult as unstable.
