This really doesn't have to do with my poa...but it seems that I always feel bad in friendships or any type of relationships. I feel like I am friendly and try but I don't know....it feels like I always do the wrong thing???
I have some friends who wanted to get tickets for an event with their children and I have a little one...and it turned into a large group. I invited my daughters friend from Kindergarten...we went out before and I see her mother or father every day. They are divorced. The father gets her on the weekends...anyway...I sent the mother a message on fb over the weekend and didn't get a response if they would like to join us. Then I mentioned it to the dad when I saw him picking his daughter up...and that I was getting tickets that night so we could all sit together. He asked his daughter and she was excited and he said he has her that weekend and definitely wants to go. So I purchased tix....well the girls mother today told me that she wants to go with her and didn't realize I bought tickets and now she has to deal with the situation. I didn't know...she said that it's not a big problem but the little girl will prefer to go with her than her dad.
Well I felt like a huge jerk and apologized and sent a message apologizing and told her not to worry about the tickets.
Anyway, when I went home I felt so bad about myself that I did something naive and wrong and caused conflict...when I was only really trying to be helpful. I still feel upset...and I messaged her that I will always double check with her. I don't know...I am so sensitive and the little things like this make me feel so down about myself. I must have no self esteem.

mb, I dont see anything wrong with what you did...just need to twick it a little bit..next time just ask all parties involved first before you purchase the tickets. And this is where our expectations will get us everytime. So just lower your expectations of others and this will keep you from getting disappointed. And if it was me, just go and let the divorced couple work there issues out, that is not your problem now. Right?
If we are codependent we want to make everyone happy, without any disappointments, and this is never, I mean never going to happen. We have no control over people, places or things, only the way we react to people, places, and things.
Dont feel bad about yourself, you did a good deed, now let them work it out.
