Today, my mother offered to pay for my tickets to go see my girlfriend who I haven't seen for 6 months. She was happy to pay for the £130 flight, but then refused half way through the purchase because she wasn't going to "let the buggers charge £13 extra" for using her credit card. FML

Today, my ungrateful son complained that he couldn't pay €13 for a flight. I paid for the other €130. FML

Be a real man and buy the ticket yourself. Boo hoo, mommy won't buy it for me. Man up!

You can't just pay $13? If you haven't seen your girlfriend for 6 months, I would assume you saving up a little money to take your girl to a special place she'll never forget.

Don't you people read the op said she offered to pay for it no where does it say he didn't or doesn't have the money to pay but i do think it is said that the ops mom offered to pay and the money needed for using her card made her say f it, its said when she offers and doesn't help....and i know about bad money issues we live pay check to pay check and still my mom offers to pay for something she even pays the extra fee. And people all most all air lines charge for using a card!

This is my opinion, but to me the op has the money but the mom offered, OFFERED, to pay for the ticket until she got that £13 fee, then she decided to be a bitch and took back her offer, if you guys think the op need's to get a job or have your opinion thats fine, it's your call. Beside's if she paid with a credit card, it's obviously a credit card fee, I dont know if the op can pay for it or not. Again, my opinion.

I gotta agree with your mom on this one. That charge is ridiculous. Did you offer to pay her the fee? If she's paying 130, you paying 13 for the fee is reasonable.

i always forget how cheap flying in europe is, tell your mom stop crying like hoe becuase in the states its alot more

#80, its not that cheap... That's $200, one way, or $400 round trip. Which is more then it takes in the states.
