Absolute CF. I know IANBU but sharing anyway.

[JeffTheSquirrel]

I bought 3 tickets to a show this weekend, for me & DD + a friend of her choice. I paid for them all (£50+ each) but told the mum of invited friend that I didn’t want any contribution. All good.

Now the friend unfortunately can’t make it (legit reason). I mentioned that I’d probably be able to sell ticket as it’s very popular, so no worries (as it happens, another friend has accepted a late invite).

The mum of original invitee asked me to transfer the cost of the ticket to her, so she can treat her DD for missing out.

Eh??

I mean that’s batshit, right?

How is her dd upset she can't go but that's your fault?

Every update just gets more batshit.

Amends for what? She should apologise for letting you and your DD down.

Oh, do keep it going. We need more!

I mean, what the actual fuck? Why is it on you to make amends? This crazy loon just saw a way to get her paws on a £50 windfall at your expense!

She has con artist blood running through her veins.

Amends for her not being able to go? How weird. Is there a back story we are missing, @JeffTheSquirrel – that the timing changed your end and that's why X can't go now?

A link to this thread would be a good reply

She is the gift that keeps on giving!

So she not only wants you to invite her daughter as you did originally, but now she wants you to be OUT OF POCKET and give her the ticket price even though you have given it to another friend of DD??

Sorry but I'd have to ask Amends for what? Maybe this could be our opportunity to find out what goes on in the tiny mind of a CF?

Wtf!!!!

At this point I'd probably just reply, "It's a shame your DD is upset but I totally understand. My DD was disappointed that she couldn't come along as well, but we understand things just don't work out sometimes. Hopefully they can do something like this another time when circumstances work out better. See you at the school gate soon."

Then I just wouldn't engage in the topic further.

This is so weird

I'd be so pissed off at this point and not want any more to do with her

Amends for what? Is it your fault she can't go?

I'm like a dog with a bone, it's true, so I'd go back with "surely, if that's anyone's job it's yours, as her parent?"

Amends for WHAT?

I wouldn't give a rat's ass if she was offended, I'd type back "Astonished you think your daughter is entitled to further cash from me. I have no words."

“I purchased 3 £50 tickets for this event, and am taking 3 people to the event. Because you cancelled on us, you now believe that I owe you £50? I will pay you exactly the amount that you paid for tickets to this event—£0.”

Are you sure you don't want to impact the friendship?

I'd be worried the batshittery might be inherited or at least a learned trait.

HOWLIN'!!!

😂😂😂😂😂

WTF just doesn't cover the batshittery!

Does this Mum have form?

Deluded.

"I thought you would want to make amends"

Please reply OP, this is the best thread I've lived through in real time. I am ENTHRALLED

Holy fuck some people have a nerve, what a cheeky cow.

That's bonkers but if you would like to offer an olive branch for your daughter's friendship then I would reply with something along the lines of

"That's a shame to hear XXX is feeling so sad. Hopefully we'll do something else that XXX can come along to sometime soon."

(and then never offer something to her that could end up like this again! 😅)

Do you think she is sat reading this thread on MN and this is a joke on you she is enjoying?

Amends?? It's not your fault her DD can't go.
Say you never promised her DD a ticket - it was an invite to an event, and her DD can't make it.

This goes beyond CF-ery into insanity.

I'd be tempted to have the DD round for tea just to find out her side of this! My money's on her being totally fine.

But then her mum would think you were kowtowing to her demand.

Unfortunately in real time the OP is hunkered down with Traitors.

#SadTimes

Both the tickets belonged to your daughter!!! Honestly she needs to see this link. She's an entitled nut job. Her daughter is probably upset because she promised you would get her something and now can't take it back.

Can't wait for her to gossip and get it thrown back as her being in the wrong.
