I have 2 daughters. The eldest age 30 is getting married next year and is arranging her hen weekend. This will be friends, bridesmaids etc, the usual, in this country, and will of course involve lots of prosecco, giggling and general high spirits. All as it should be. My younger daughter, age 27, is the polar opposite of her sister. Serious, doing a Masters at university, a talented and much respected athlete who doesn't drink, really looks after her body and would rather stick a pin in her eye than go on a drink fuelled weekend with a load of people she doesn't know. Also, the weekend they have decided upon is the week that every year athlete daughter goes on a high altitude training camp for a week, which prepares her for the summer season. And she doesn't want to miss it. Bride to be daughter is very offended by this, and says it will look weird if her only sister and bridesmaid doesn't want to go on her hen do. (She cares a lot about what people think). Athlete daughter couldn't care less what people think, and although she does feel a bit bad about not going, I rather think she's glad she's got an excuse. I feel a bit caught in the middle of this, as they are both telling me about it, and I can see both sides. How to calm the waters?

Tell the oldest to grow up. If the other doesn't drink or enjoy that kind of thing then who cares what people think? And if she cares more what people think than about her sisters own important things she needs to shake her head. Its the Hen Do, not the wedding.
