AIBU?
To refuse to take DD to the cinema to see this film
DinosaursCanDance · 26/11/2022 16:50
Because I don’t want to see it. DD is absolutely dying to see the new Matilda the Musical film but none of her friends also want to see and she doesn’t want to go alone so she’s begging me to go with her but I don’t really want to see the film to be honest. DD is 16. I know why she really wants to see it, because years ago she played Matilda in the west end musical show.
Am I being unreasonable?

Oh take her.
I took my niece to the stage show (probably saw your daughter 😁) although I can't stand it. She was thrilled to bits with it so it was worth every £ and every moment I wished I was elsewhere.
At 16 it's great she wants your company.

I saw this clip on Twitter the other day and was awed at their energy. I feel like a need a nap after just watching the clip again.

I don't go to the cinema with my children because I can't justify the expense when it will be on Netflix or on DVD in a couple of months. If this is a financial concern then I get it, seeing a film you are not interested in for the amount of money that could feed the family for several days is not a sensible use of funds. If you just don't want to put yourself out for your daughter then don't expect her to ask you to do anything with her again, possibly ever. I'd say you've already damaged the relationship by being this hesitant when you knew how important it was to her.

A not so stealthy stealth boast.?
What a ridiculous thing to ask.
Just go with her!

This is really weird OP.
Why are you posting this on here? Because surely you know you’re being unreasonable.
You havnt seen it so have no idea if you will enjoy it. You just think you won’t and can’t be bothered.
Doing something with your DD sounds like a chore to you! That’s sad. She won’t be that age for much longer. Soon she’ll be an independent adult and won’t want to go shopping or to the cinema with you in a couple of years.

It's such a pain when this happens. My DD wanted to watch The Crown because she used to be Kate Middleton.
😂 Yes, this was posted to boast, nothing more, nothing less. 👏

I don't believe this post is real either. Or at least, if it is, is is really sad. I don't understand why you wouldn't want to do it, especially if your dd has an extra reason to want to go. If she really played the part in a production, it would be such a wonderful and nostalgic experience to have together. What's wrong with you, seriously?
