Will keep it short, although the temptation to really let loose is strooooooong. The problem is that my MIL - who is lovely overall, but very used to getting her own way in the family - keeps ringing DH rather me directly when she wants me to do something (in this instance, to go round on Weds and see her mother, who is over from Germany.)
Doesn't seem like that big a deal, except that messages between MIL and her sons notoriously go astray, and DH didn't tell me until last night that she had called (on Sat).
The thing is I am busy on Weds seeing an old friend, and although I could cancel I don't really want to. What's annoying me is that she hasn't called me at all to find out whether I'm coming or not, and presumably DH hasn't let her know as he is clearly useless.
I just know that my not going will reflect badly on me, when really it is DH's fault for not telling me sooner, and her fault for not ringing me directly. Oh dear, AIBU?

to expect MIL to ring me herself, not DH, when she wants me to do something?
