But honestly, she just doesn’t think this arrangement is fair. She believes that if Shelly’s daughter gets to come, then all of the kids should get the same option instead of excluding her children just because they are boys.
And to be clear, she doesn’t have a problem with Shelly’s daughter whatsoever. Instead, she actually thinks the young girl is a great kid.
Nonetheless, she still just does not want to hang out with a pre-teen girl. She wants to talk about whatever’s going on in her life without Shelly’s daughter hearing.
“I don’t want Shelly’s daughter’s juvenile input into adult situations,” she added.
“And I sure don’t want her repeating everything at the middle school lunch tables the next day. I feel like a jerk just saying that, but it’s true.”
Recently, this situation came to a head, too, after Shelly asked her to go on a trip for their “friendiversary” without any of the kids.
After hearing that detail, she was completely on board. They even set the dates, picked a location, and she envisioned sinking her toes into the sand while holding a drink in hand.
But then, out of nowhere, her best friend spilled the beans and admitted their daughter would be going, too.
At that point, she knew she would no longer be going on the trip. So, she politely declined and told Shelly she wasn’t going anymore.
However, Shelly was obviously confused as to why, which was why she was forced to admit that she didn’t think they were bringing any of the kids.
Shelly still just tried to claim they were going on a “girl’s trip,” though, which was why her best friend’s daughter was invited. But, she stuck to her guns and claimed that if they took any kids, then her sons would be included, too. If not, then it is just the adults going away.
