She bought the tickets without knowing about the strike. We accepted the gift without knowing about the strike.
She’s a Republican and still wants to go and cross the picket line. She doesn’t care.
My wife understands my hesitancy, but says that it’s too late, and so we have to go regardless.
The kids are really looking forward to it.
I just feel so horrible. But I have to go with them.
What can I do to make amends?
I think you have a good compromise of donating to their cause. Personally I wouldn’t have gone and had a talk with my kids about the importance of standing up for your beliefs (and sorry if you want to go anyway, you’re not old enough to drive). Even if the money’s been spent I wouldn’t go as it still hurts the moral of strikers and reinforces the scabs decision to cross the line.
