To cut a long story short, today has been a bit rubbish. Not awful, not a disaster but just rather bleurgh ............
My mil (and bil) were meant to be coming to us but we had a call at 8:30 this morning to say that she couldn't make it. The reason was that her daughter - aged 52!!! - had had a power cut so she was going to help her out. I quite understand that having a powercut on Xmas morning is HORRIBLE but it lasted a couple of hours and really wasn't a big deal. (We invited them all to us soon after her call).
We'd happily arranged the day around their visit, eating at a different time etc, and my mil didn't even say sorry or merry Christmas. I appreciate it's a stressful time of year but some polite acknowledgment of our feelings would have been nice.
We're seeing her tomorrow and I just feel annoyed with her lack of thought to our situation.
