To feel a bit inconvenienced

[OngoingCrisis]

For a little bit of background, I'm early(ish) 20's, still living in my childhood home, just me and my mum.

My mum has been seeing someone for just under 5 years but has not introduced us to eachother, but she has met his child, so everything is kept relatively private, I won't lie, I do feel left out, but back to the main point.

She had told me this morning that she wants to invite him to our house so they can have a date night and she'd like me out of the house from 2-9pm. Now, this wouldn't have been an issue if she has told me earlier this week, as I could have made plans to go somewhere, but now I'm stuck trying to find somewhere to go and stay for 7 hours. I've contacted friends to see if they are available but no response yet and I'm running out of ideas.

I'm not sure what to do or where to go. Do I just sit in my car the entire time? Dad has been in and out of my life since I was a young kid so I don't feel comfortable going to him. Tbh I feel like I'm making a big deal out of nothing but would like some perspective please

AIBU to feel a bit inconvenienced?

Thinking of you today @OngoingCrisis and wishing you a cosy Sunday with a cooperative mother .

Wondering how your Christmas was @OngoingCrisis .Hope it was a good one .

I do hope you had a nice Christmas @OngoingCrisis

@Theheartmustpausetobreathe @LadyEloise1 Hi. My christmas was okay thank you for asking. My mom stayed home but we were both sick (sods law). She will be away for new years so I will be alone for that but I don't feel as awful as I usually would. How was your christmas?

All good here thankfully.
Did you get to meet your Mum's boyfriend over Christmas?

I've learned over the years how to have a good Christmas .It is not quite so important to me now which helps .And I love the decorations and the fairy lights .

IME you have to learn how to enjoy oneself and how to stand your ground and or/compromise .

What I mean is that life does get easier as you get older .

I hope you're feeling better and that you can get together with a friend or relative for New Year .If not ,plan a cosy night in with candles ,chocs and something good to watch .

@LadyEloise1 unfortunately, I didn't but as time goes on, I'm not that interested & glad you had a good day

@Theheartmustpausetobreathe I understand what you mean, I've already made plans, I'm going to get a takeaway (if it's open) and play some video games. I don't have that usual depressed feeling looming over me this time :)

Well done @OngoingCrisis ,please yourself and you know someone's pleased as my mum used to say !

@Theheartmustpausetobreathe I love that saying, I'm going to start using it 💖
