Hi,
I'll give as much background to avoid drip feeding!
We're currently going through a hard time with our youngest as he's going through chemotherapy. It puts a lot of pressure on family time, DH and I have recently spent a lot of time having to share time in hospital with DS, also meaning that DS1 has to fit in around it all too.
This weekend we had planned to go away for a night, however our plans have had to change due to ill health of our youngest.
My parents weren't impressed that we were going away for Mother's Day. As my dad said " it's your mums Mother's Day", which I don't disagree but it's also mine! I'm not usually bothered about it, and we'd normally spend it with my mum, but this year things are different and I would like to spend it with my boys.
As we are not able to go away ( DS2 is gutted) we've arranged to do something tomorrow to make up for it. My parents are not happy, they feel that if our weekend is cancelled then our next priority should be seeing them. They are not willing to come along on our day out.
AIBU saying that this year we're doing this? I know my mind is all over the place at the moment so I could be being very selfish about it, but I'm wanting to just spend quality time with my DH and our boys.
I've sent Mum some flowers and cards.
