<p>So, last week, this boy from another school asked my D to his school prom (3 weeks away and we bought the dress)…today he tells her he “accidently” asked someone from his school (who he says he kind of likes)…and he said, well it kind of just “happened”</p>
<p>my D is just fine, I just want to kick him in his shin…like a mommy lion</p>
<p>that would be wrong?</p>
<p>ps- I am not at all invested in this prom thing- so will not do anything of course- but admit it, haven’t you all wanted to?</p>
<p>Not at all wrong. Nor is it wrong to want to send him the bill for the dress. Are the tags still attached? If D doesn’t wear it to an event at her school can you return it or justify keeping it for “future use”?
Years ago our S asked a girl to homecoming - she said yes. Around here that means big investment in foo-foo craft store “Mum”. (think trophy ribbons on steriods). She decided that day that she didn’t want to go after all. The “mum” stayed in his car trunk for weeks, mashed about and mangled. Oh well, I understand she’s already left husband #1 so no loss there!</p>
<p>the dress is really cute and not to “prommy” so that’s good…d is working in getting a date to that prom with another guy friend and plans on looking just adorable and being extra charming!!! </p>
<p>Its not “her” school s prom…her date for that is all set…its just the idea of getting officially asked to a dance and then getting told, oppys nevermind!!!</p>
<p>But yeah, going with guys friends (which these guys are) is the best plan</p>
<p>Hmmm. No, I don’t think it’s wrong to want to do that. There was a group of girls who decided to ostracize D during senior year of hs. I wanted to go up to each one of them, slap them, and tell them to GROW UP. If it were me, I would have struggled to refrain from giving them a special “good riddance” shout-out during the valedictory speech, but D has more class than I do!!!</p>
<p>thanks for starting this thread.
My D sent me an email a few days ago ( 4) asking me what I thought of some dresses & I never did look at them.
She hasn’t been going to the dances and she hadn’t said anything- so I forgot.
:o</p>
<p>Daughter asked a good friend to go to her junion prom a few years back. The friend said yes but regretted later because a girl he liked wanted to go with him later. My D gave the friend outs a few times, but he said it was fine (there were other boys she could have gone with). But he totally ruined my D’s prom by not renting a tux until 2 days before (strange color), not getting flowers and just basically not interested in going. He also spent most of his time dancing with the other girl at the prom. His friends were so shocked by his behavior that his best friend punched him in the stomach and said, “this one is for ___.” His mom also later found out about his behavior from his friends. I think he got a nice talk to. My husband was more upset by it. I feared for the boy’s life.</p>
<p>It is a blessing in disguise…if a guy treats a girl like that who wants to be with them anyway!</p>
<p>and girls, if your crush is at a dance with another girl and spends his whole time with you, you have to know that he will also treat you badly down the road- and to the girl- if he has so little manners and treats the females with such little respect, you aren’t getting such a prize, though you think you are</p>
<p>once a cad always a cad UNLESS girls call him out on it- why treat ladies well if ladies don’t expect it?</p>
