My sister is getting married next week. She has 3 DC and 1GC and is going on honeymoon without any of them the following week. My Mum is looking after the younger two, after (my mum's words) feeling pressured into doing so. She lives about 8 miles away, works for herself with my Dad so is not tied to any specific hours so there would have been no porblem getting them to school. I thought that was what she was going to do. My mum rang me just now and let it slip that she has booked a 3 bedroomed villa and is taking all the DC and the baby on holiday for the week that my sister is away. She said that it wasn't fair on the DC that their mum was going to be on holiday when they weren't![hmm] That week is, also, the week I am having major surgery! My parents have taken the older two DC on holiday numerous times in the past and they have had them to stay at the weekends so many times that I have lost count. They have never had my DC to stay, they have never taken them on holiday, they don't see them very often as we don't live nearby due to DH's job. My 2 DC haven't had a holiday for 2 years (I know that they are very fortunate to have had holidays) due to my disability getting worse and DH being on the list for redundancy for 6 months. My mum knew I am going to be in hosptial an hour away and that my DC would be home alone ^a lot^ that week, yet she never thought to just book a slightly bigger villa so that they could have gone along too. I would have paid for their flights and a bit towards the villa had she have asked. I am so hurt by what she has done. I don't want to go to the wedding as the DC will be going on about their up coming holiday which will hurt my DC and I don't want to see my Mum. So AIBU to think they could have taken my DSes too?
