One of my close friends is getting married in the Summer, and I'm a bridesmaid.
It's been decided that her hen do will be a long weekend in Ibiza (Friday AM to Monday PM), at the beginning of June.
I'm a single parent to my DD16. She does see her Dad but it's not consistent (3 or 4 days a month) and he rarely has her extra if I ask. My Mum and Dad help out if need be, but they're not in the best health so I try not to.
DD is starting her GCSE exams next month, and along with my help she's been great at sticking to her revision timetable.
The issue is that the weekend of the hen do, DD has an exam on both the Friday and the Monday. I've explained this to the bride and the expectation is that I still go on the hen do. I'm not happy leaving my DD during the middle of her exams, even if my parents are willing to help out. All hell broke loose and I've been called unreasonable - my friend is now in a serious mood with me.
AIBU for saying I'm not going to go?
