Seething inside but trying to tell myself it is nothing to do with me so please tell me IBU.
DB is marrying a girl who is half foreign, she was brought up in a different country but lives, works and has family in the U.K. They have decided to get married in her country, I don't have a problem with that, their choice. What I am annoyed at is that they have booked it during term time. DH is a teacher and my DD is at school, before they booked anything I said that a term time wedding would be a problem.
My DM is now making out that I am being difficult by saying that I am the only one who will be coming and I am looking at not flying out until the Friday. She is telling me that DH and DD should miss a day of school and we should bring a nanny with us to look after the DC so we don't have to leave the reception early. I'm a SAHM, we are struggling to afford just the flight for me. My DM says she will help with the cost but I don't really want to go begging. FWIW I haven't said anything to my DB, there is no point stressing him out about something that has been booked and taking the shine off his day.
So what I am asking is AIBU to:
- Be annoyed at DB for booking a wedding during term time despite me saying that it would make it hard for me and my family to attend.
- Be annoyed at DM for making me feel like I'm being difficult?
