Posted in AIBU but this probably a better place. My son has been at uni for one week, he's making a real effort to make friends, going out with flat mates, meeting people on his course etc he's doing really well. He's found this weekend hard though because he's up at 9 and his flat mates at 2 and he's lonely. We're prepared for this he's our 4th child to send to uni. Next wrong in-laws have care of my 10 year old dn . They announced they were taking him to an army museum in ds uni town. I said oh great you can see ds. They looked a bit taken a back by this, it obviously hadn't crossed their minds. Ds would have been happy to go to army museum and / or out for lunch he likes dn. in-laws have now said they'll call in on ds at 4 on their way home. I feel so sad for ds, he's 200 miles from home and 100 miles from his grandparents who have no other plans to visit. It seems they are making it clear they had their day out with dn planned and will now call I on ds as an after thought.
