agnf666 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I really did it this time. I need help with a decision I have to make this weekend. It isn't a big decision but I'm lost. A few weeks ago I told my cousin that I would take her out Job Hunting on March 20. Then today I went to visit my friends at my old job and find out that they are throwing a surpirse baby shower for my friend. I really wanted to go to that but I just found out today about it. The baby shower happens to be on Sunday, march 20 as well. I was thinking that I should stick with the cousin because I did promise her, but then on the other hand not many people is going to my friends shower so I thought it would be nice to show up for her. So, anyone have any advice about my little situation need advice before sunday. Link to post Share on other sites
tiki Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Do both. Make an appearance, then go with her to job hunt, maybe at 3:00? Link to post Share on other sites
Scott S Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 You did make the commitment to your cousin first, so I would plan on honoring it, if I were you. A possible solution would be to first contact the baby-shower friend, asking if your cousin could tag along, & put in an appearance with you, then see if your cousin can either squeeze this in, or possibly reschedule her visit. If she can't reschedule or fit a shower in, then I would say your first commitment has priority. Link to post Share on other sites
Author agnf666 Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 Problem is the shower is like at 2:30. I don't know if it is right to take my cousin since my friend doesn't even know her? It would work out if I could do that though. Then I could make the appearance at the shower and also take my cousin out. The baby shower was a last minute deal. I don't even know how to get to the shower so I have to follow someone there. I was just thinking about skipping the shower that her job is throwing for her and visit her one day and give her a present. So, who knows. Link to post Share on other sites
7on Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Family before friends But I don't see why you can't do both, surely they aren't at the same times. Make an appearance like one of the above posters say. Link to post Share on other sites
Author agnf666 Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 Could I bring cousin with me to the baby shower??? She doesn't know anyone there except for me?? Link to post Share on other sites
ziggue Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Ask her and she what she says. She might even have fun if she goes. I would do both. I would start the Job Hunting early. Like right on 8, 9am. If you can get up that early that way you have about 5, 6 hours to job hunt before the party. . Link to post Share on other sites
Fun2BMe Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Definitely family comes first but the best solution is to take your cousin with you to the shower - the more the merrier - I have been to so many babyshowers and the expectant mother loves to have a lot of people there which will make her feel special. I really don't think she will mind your cousin there. It's common for some not to show up and additional guests sometimes come etc. Do this as long as you can also commit to the job thing with your cousin. She will appreciate that you fit her in especially if she doesn't know you found out about the shower after committing to her wink wink. Link to post Share on other sites
brashgal Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Job hunting on a Sunday? Retail jobs? How long could that take? Do both... Link to post Share on other sites
Author agnf666 Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 I decided not to go because they wouldn't have invited me if they hadn't seen me. The job hunt for my cousin is more important. My friend knows that I care about her, I just got her a bday present the other day. I was thinking that I was going to get her something and mail it to her. That would completely surprise her. Plus I have no clue where this thing is so, I'm sticking with my origianl plans and act as if I didn;t know about it. Link to post Share on other sites
