Dilemma

[Barmaid]

My oldest friend (and mentor, ex boss, person who set me on my career path, and whom I love dearly) is 50 in a few weeks. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for him. The plan is to have a lovely meal in a hotel near their home "oop north". It will be adults only.

My difficulty is that it is Mr BM's birthday that weekend and it is also a contact weekend. It is not fair on No 1 step son (given his issues) to leave him with a babysitter and not fair on the babysitter either.

So the choice is either I don't go or I go alone.

I'm torn. On the one hand it is Mr BM's bday. On the other it is my mate's big 5 - 0 and he really is a close mate. What would you do?
