The popular Disney actress/ singer Raven is coming to my town. Almost every little girl loves her show and her music. I think she is safe enough, so I decided I would take both my nine year old niece and my God-daughter to the concert. I told my best friend who is the mother of my God-daughter. She said she'd be taking her nieces. I offered to buy tickets for her since she does not have internet access. But I also said to have the money before I bought anything, or else she'd be SOL. She said fine. The tickets went on sale at midnight lastnight. I told her a month ago, and I kept reminding her but she never paid me. So what did I do? I bought three tickets. One for me, one for my niece, and one for my God-daughter. Later, my sister asked if I had bought a ticket for my nieces best friend from down the street. I told her I hadn't. This little girl is nothing but trouble and her mom is a loose cannon. Frankly, I just didn't want to be bothered w/ either of them.

So am I wrong for not paying the extra $$$ for my best friend's 6 nieces? Was I wrong not to ask my niece's friend to go w/ us?

No girl you are not wrong. You need to provide for your neice and god daughter - not everyone else. If you kept reminding and she hasn't paid a bit of attention, then she doesn't deserve for someone else to do her bidding for her. You are not wrong - money is becoming a rare commodity these days - use it sparingly.

No, you're not wrong. It's your decision not to buy the extra 4th ticket for your nieces' friend. Your sister shouldn't make you feel guilty over your choice of not taking the troublesome girl otherwise you wouldn't enjoy your concert if you did.
Next time don't offer to be so nice or buy anymore concert tickets. This has caused you nothing but trouble and money. Just take one person with you next time. This way you'll enjoy the concert without other people imposing on your goodness.
I hope you had fun:)

No Actually you were very nice to offer to both pay the way in and take the two children you invited. People should be able to understand that. Keeping your eyes on 2 little girls should keep you rather busy as it is. As for your sister and the question about her daughters friend, I would think she would understand you taking just the 2 children you have a close relationship with. I hope you enjoy the show.

I think you were very clear to your goddaughter's mom about your expectation to be paid up front and she did not follow through. You did her a favor by offering to get them for her, but your favor was to provide her with internet access, not to loan her money. This is a special night you are providing for your goddaughter and niece and you have no obligation to take care of other people's needs. Enjoy the event you arranged-- sounds like a wonderful outing you arranged and it is appropriate for you to have have a pleasant time with people you enjoy and choose to invite, so long as the parents are comfortable with you taking the girls.

Oh my gosh...you are so in the wrong here! You should feel horrible! Not about the fact that you didn't get the extra tickets for the other girls....but because you would ever take them to a "Raven" concert in the first place! OMG! She's gonna lip sing every song, and even then....the songs suck anyway! Wow....let's not even get into the headache you're gonna have from all the little girls screaming by the end of the night. Jeez, if I were you, I'd sell those tickets that you already bought, and use the money to buy some good music. Like....Reba McEntire or Aretha Franklin.

You did what you said you would; you told her that she needed to give you the money upfront, you reminded her and she didn't come through.
Go to the concert and enjoy it. If the other girl is trouble she'd likely keep you from having a good evening.

She knew when she was supposed to have the money for the tickets. You are not responsible for buying the extra tickets. What if you DID get them only for her to decide she couldn't afford them? I think you did right.

No, you were not wrong. They were wrong for not ponying up before the tickets went on sale.
If you didn't want to be bothered with the others you mentioned, you were not wrong in not buying their tickest either, nor were you wrong for not suggesting they go with you; they sound like trouble waiting to happen.

Sounds like you did the right thing. Money doesn't grow on trees you just can't be buying things for people if you aren't sure they will pay you for them.
