The big con

By JustOutofCollegeAndBroke - 16/07/2015 06:56 - United States - Los Angeles

Today, I agreed to help out with my boyfriend's sister's baby shower. They forgot to inform me that "helping" meant splitting the cost of everything. I now owe his family $275. I don't know how to back out without looking cheap. FML

It's not looking cheap if you didn't know it meant paying money. $275 is a fair chunk of change and not something you should just give out because someone else says you should. Also, why is a baby-shower requiring a collective acquiring of $275 per person?!

Just speak with the sister and explain that you misunderstood, and if you can't afford it explain why.

Don't be a chump! You own them nothing. I hate when people do that you festive activity not mine, don't give a penny. The nerve of some people.

Definitely not your responsibility whatsoever. Stand up for yourself.

You need to stand up for yourself and forget about looking cheap. If someone did that to me I wouldn't give a ****, that's too much money that you didn't sign up for intentionally.

I don't care how I'd look or sound, I would just straight up say no

You aren't family, you don't have to pay for anything.

Don´t pay! Your boyfriend should have said them that you don´t have to pay!
