I know it could be 100 times worse. Prom.
So I found a lovely dress shop full of dresses for proms in a lovely village and told Dd we could go to try some on etc. Suggested Saturday.
Get back today and she's not dressed, doesn't fancy it, then decides she will and then doesn't get ready. Now it's a screaming match from the bathroom as she refuses to go again.
I know it's up to her but I really wanted to go and see her try stuff on and choose together rather than me just pay for everything as usual.
I can't believe how upset I am .works hard, money's hard, kids are hard. Just thought there'd be a nice bit to my weekend.

Please be nice to her - she likely has all sorts of pressures and anxieties about her appearance for this (stupidly) "monumental" occasion, so her rudeness is almost certainly nothing to do with her feelings for you.
