Dear Plumpy,
My BFF asked me to go to her cottage in July, and I said yes – but that’s before I knew we were going to visit my grandma that same week! I definitely can’t get out of seeing my family (and I really want to see them, anyway)…so how do I tell my bestie this bad news?
- Too Much Vacation
Dear TMV,
I wouldn’t worry too much – I bet you and your BFF can figure out a solution to this scheduling conundrum. Maybe you go to her cottage a week later…or even in August. I’m sure she’ll understand that you have to visit your gran. I find that when you have to tell your BFF news that isn’t exactly GOOD, the best approach is a direct approach: just be honest. The more you try to cover up or hide something, the worse it ends up being. So don’t! Just ask your friend if you can have a chat. Apologize for not checking the dates first, and let her know how important it is to you to visit her cottage. I’m sure she’ll totally understand. After all – you’re being honest.
Love,
Plumpy
what is the point of tellin her before you are just going
to say either way!
P.S.
WEBKINZ YOU MADE UP THIS STORY! :D
Yeah they yet again used the terms ‘BFF’ and ‘bestie’. They’ve used ‘bestie’ and ‘BFF’ in all of their other friends stories!!!!
Munkiemee, i agree.”whats the point of this”
Am I the only one thinking that ‘Whats the point in this?’???
Nope.
OMG I thought it was something important!!
Lol, now that I look at the title, it does seem like Webkinz has bad news to tell us. XD.
Yeah thats great advice
Maybe if you ask your friend in a nice way she might say “You can come when you get home”. Then you would both be happy!
Love,
Webkinz lover 2011!!!$$$
yeah i think thats really good advice
Bad advice Plumpy!
Really?! Its GREAT advice!!!
i thinkk thats the best approach or she could bring her friend with her to visit
Good advice Plumpy!
Suprizingly, I agree with that advice!

I don,t have alot of friends and my family dosen,t go on any vacation and do not go to see almost any of my family since most of them live in Ireland, England , one in Australea and in states that are aren,t so close so I would not know about such matters but over all I agree with her advice
A similar situation is happening to me
Earlier in the school year one of my besties moved across to the other side of our state. I was really sad. Thursday is my last day of school and a 1/2 day. Afterwards, my friend is having a half b-day party since she’s in town for a few days. The issue is, I have a dress rehersal that night, so I’m going to miss a lot of the party. The dress rehersal is for my dance recital, and I can’t skip. It’s really sad, but at least I get to hang out for 1-2 hours before we have to go to bed, and I get to spend the morning, but that afternoon everyone’s swimming and I have to miss it. :(
Awww, that is so sad ILP! I don’t really know how to help you with that one, can you find a way to get out of swimming?
Thx 4 replying. The swimming is what I WANT to do at my friends party. We’ll swim (when I’m not there) then sleepover at the hotel. But thanks for the support
So I got home from the party and it rox! I actually didn’t miss TOO much.
It was way better than I thought.
I don’t have a BEST friend.
I just have friends.
One isn’t closer than the other one.
