Bit of advice needed please, you may wonder if I'm 12 when you read this but stick with me. I have lots of nieces and have a good relationship with them, particularly the eldest as I was only 11 when she was born. A few of us are Westlife fans, I met the eldest one at the last concert in the 02 when I took my daughters. When the farewell tour was announced we agreed we would definitely go. I as able to buy the tickets on pre sale.I bought 4, 1 for myself and then my nieces and their friend paid for their own. I contacted my sister to see if she wanted 2 for her girls as Christmas presents, she did so I ordered them for her and paid with her cc. My eldest niece age 31, her friend and my god daughter age 25 planned a night out in town and I will stay with the eldest and her fiancee. I was really looking forward to it.
My sisters girls are 17 and 19. A few times the 19 year old has mentioned us all going out afterwards. As cousins they get on but aren't close so i was a bit uncomfortable with it. I said the other day that I didn't think it would work out as the other girl is only 17 and we will be going drinking/clubbing. She answered that she would get a fake id off another one of my nieces. So today i mentioned it to my eldest niece who was like no way, not having it, its our night out, we're not looking after under agers blahblah.
I'm totally caught in the middle. I live beside the younger nieces and feel so disloyal them if i frig out on the lash with the older girls but on the other hand I have really been looking forward to having the night with the older girls. I am close to the eldest one, she asked me to help choose her wedding dress a few weeks ago and we are going invite shopping next week.
I'm so stuck. DH said I should just say it to the younger ones straight up but I feel lousy. Argh. Families are a pain sometimes.

God that's a hard one...i'd take the two younger ones if it were me tbh. If the 17 yr olds mother is ok with her having fake id then they will prob be going out by themselves anyway and i'd be nervous about them being out in dublin late at night unaccompanied.

I know you're right but I was really looking forward to a night out. I didn't even buy tickets for my own teenagers cos I wanted a carefree night out, with 4 kids they don't happen very often. Looks like it ain't to be though. Serves me right. Should have kept my mouth shut and just got my own tickets.

Lol. Yes I think she'll have to be told. It'd be irresponsible of me not to tell her. :lol:

Couple of questions....firstly....What does your sister say?
When she bought the tickets for her daughters, who did she think they would be going with...

Secondly, Would the 17 normally be going out drinking and is she a nice, normal 17 year old or likely to be a liability?

I was a very sensible 17 year old so would have often gone out with my sister who is 4 years older and had great fun.....and not needed to be minded at all... in fact I often did some of the minding!

However, fake ids and all that sound like a right pain in the ass as there is a high likelihood you won't get in to certain places and it could feck up your night out...so bottom line, I would probably tell my sisters girls that they just won't be able to join you as you are going to Some nightclub/place and they have an over 25s policy.... Awkward though!
