Dh and I are scruffy people, and happily so. Ive not long had a baby and am still not back into my pre baby clothes yet and am living in 2 pairs of jeans I bought for this time.
mum and dad are posh people, mum is very well turned out at all times, glamorous etc and dad is never not in a shirt and smart trouser combo.
Mum and Dad have-without asking us_booked us all in for the "family BBQ" at their Golf Club-a very posh place with a strict dress code-No jeans.
My problems are-
We really don't want to go as we just don't fancy it.
I have no clothes and being skint cant afford to buy new ones.
We are veggie and don't really fancy what I know will be "dodgy veggie burger cooked on the same BBQ as the meat stuff"
I suspect the reason we have been "invited" to this is because my dad is up for the social secs job next year.
We have already committed to our cycling club social on the same night but which starts a little later-in theory we could go to the golf club BBQ for a couple of hours then onto our social night.
But, we so seldom do anything with my folks I am torn as to weather to just put up and shut up.
I have suggested we just have a BBQ at our house but that was met with disdain (your house is just too claustrophobic!)
So AIBU to go to the golf club for a few hours then onto our cycling club social or should we poke up with a night with the toffs.
