to want to go to a football match instead of my best friend's DD's 3rd birthday party?

My best friend text me last night to say she is having a birthday party for her DD (3) on a saturday next month at her house, about 50 miles away.

I have a ticket to watch my team play Chelsea that day. I go to most home games and my friend obviously knows that.

I have told her I have a ticket for the game but that I feel bad to miss the party, and she text bag 'Don't worry if you can't make it' (I don't think she was being funny with me)

But I feel really really bad saying no to the party in favour of football. I think family and friends should come before football, but I see her and her DDs all the time, do you think she would be really hurt if I go to the football instead of the party?

ONLY 9 sending offs? How minimalistic can you get!

FAT Frank?! Well now I'm deeply offended!

To tell the truth we've done ok but we're buggered when Roman takes his ball home and refuses to pay play anymore!

you are a MASSIVE club and erm i am sure you'll do well (this is killing me,as a red,i'd fucking love you to beat them-but then again-it's City and i just don't think i can wish you well) sorry.
i hope for a nil nil drawer and about 9 sending offs if possible,and possibly some injuries to fat frank,didier and that weasel faced terry bloke... grin

Why should you go to a friend's kid's party? Have never invited friends to my kids' parties, the ones with kids have their own kids to look after and the ones without would regard it as torture. If your friend needs extra help getting one of the kids at the party's mums or dads to help would make more sense.
Don't see the problem here, you have a prior engagement, what it is is irrelevent.

How could you possibly be so callous and want to miss a 3 year old birthday party of a darling child, for a football match??????????? Shame! Shame on you!

[Now, had you been you talking about a *rugby match*, I'd say, no contest, the 3 year old will have many more birthdays and one couldn't possibly miss a game of rugby for that] grin

Go to the gamne! You already have the ticket so I don't see a problem.

Mr Manky and eldest Manky boy will be there!

childrens party = mind numbingly boring
