Ok this one is hard for me to even sort out. A little backstory: uncle and soon to be ex-aunt are in the middle of a nasty divorce(it’s been almost 2 years now) because she’s insane and manipulative. I’m not just saying that to make me look better, regardless of this situation she’s a nut bag. She hates everyone on our side of the family just for the fun of it- although it seems that she doesn’t hate me all that much because I spend time with their kids (14,12,7) and they like me so she tolerates me.

So around Christmas time my little cousin (14) was talking about how much she loves this specific singer and so I suggested she ask for tickets to one of her concerts since she would be in our area on tour. She said that was a great idea and asked for a ticket for herself and for me so I could take her/chaperone. I enjoy this artist’s music so I didn’t mind, I’m actually very excited to go. Her little sister (12) got wind and wanted to come along as well, same thing with one of my friends (22). SO we plan it out with a family member and end up getting $150 each tickets for the concert as Xmas gifts and oh happy day everyone is exited to go. 

So fast forward a couple months and my little cousin’s (14) friend offered for her to go to Disney world with her family. (Apparently the friend and her bf broke up so they had an extra ticket). But the trip they had already planned was planned over the date of the concert. So I asked my cousin what she wanted to do and she said she would rather go to the concert with us and just go to Disney world another time. 

My cousin has repeatedly told her mother that she would rather go to the concert but her mother insists that she go with her friend to Disney world instead and that I can take her to a concert on a different date. (Which I have not agreed to or been asked about by her mother). 
We then find out that my cousins friend and family will only be at Disney world a few days and will actually be leaving Disney world a day before the concert to go visit with other family, so my cousin COULD fly home after Disney world by herself and make it back in time for the concert (she has flown by herself before). And that’s what she would prefer to do. She asked and her mother apparently refused this idea because “it’s (cousins friends) family vacation!” 

I’m so fucking annoyed with this entire situation. My cousin is the biggest fan of this signer in the group of us that’s going, if she doesn’t go it just won’t be as much fun. But I know she’s wants to go to Disney world and that she will have fun if she goes on that trip. But I will also feel bad because then the person who bought us the concert tickets will be hurt that my cousin isn’t going anymore. This is such a cluster fuck. Am I the asshole for making it a bigger deal than it is? 

TLDR: cousins mom insists she go to Disney world with a friend instead of going to concert we paid $150 pp to go to together because it’s her favorite artist.
