I’m (F31) so conflicted on what to do.

A friend of mine (F24) who I haven’t seen in forever, texted me and asked if I had plans for Mother’s Day. I told her it was a tricky day but I could probably hang out for a couple of hours. She said “great!” and went silent for about a week. Then she finally texted me again with plans and said my birthday gift was tickets to a concert. The problem? My birthday was back in January, I don’t particularly like the band, and it’s on a Sunday night.

My age is showing, haha, but my idea of a fun Sunday night is to watch a show with my partner and cat before bed. I have to get up really early on Mondays for work!

What’s upsetting me is that the gift feels more like it was just something she wanted to do and disguised it as a very late birthday gift for me without talking to me about it. Now I feel obligated to go. She seems so excited and she’s so sweet, but I really don’t want to haul my ass to a concert I don’t care for.

WIBTA if I told her I don’t want to go? Should I suck it up and go to honor the gesture?

Thank you!

I hate how characters basically become NPCs after leveling them up. It’s a big game, I shouldn’t try to compare it to the Sims, I get it.

But it would be so fun to see them play and interact with the decorative items we place down. Like, maybe they sit by the fountains and touch the water. Or Cruella gets in her car and just watches people go by. Or they get on the Disney rides like Dumbo or Slinky. Or play video games.

We have so many decorations but they’re basically just for show. Only a few you can interact with and it’s just the player who can.

I’m tired of seeing the characters just fish and sit down on benches.

The town would seem more alive .
