I was supposed be working tomorrow at a festival as part of my 9-5. I arranged a month ago for my FIL to look after DS.
Unfortunately the festival had to be cancelled because of dangerous weather warnings, and I sent FIL a message this afternoon saying it was cancelled but could he have DS anyway so I could do some things. He responded at 9:30pm saying he’d heard the festival was cancelled so had arranged to do something else but that he could come by for a couple of hours to help “if that would help.”
To be honest, I knew this would happen as he has a (little bit of a) track record, but to cancel an arrangement made a month ago on third hand information seems really rude. For all he knew I still had to go out and help with the fallout of the cancellation. I’m upset and having trouble thinking of an appropriate response.
We very rarely ask for help from in-laws as I feel like I have to beg for their help. So when I do ask and Just get dropped last minute, I feel propper angry.
Am I being unreasonable?
