Way back in January i asked my inlaws if they could have the DC for two nights this weekend as its my husbands birthday. Our DC are 4 and 1. All was agreed and although i hadn't made physical bookings, we had plans to go hillwalking and go for dinner afterwards and then have a lie in for the first time in a long time the morning after. They were happy with this and added it to their diary.
Around 4 weeks ago a football game was scheduled for today and MIL made a comment to DH about them trying to get tickets. I text and said was this happening as obviously they already had agreed to take the kids so I needed to know if I had to make other arrangements and the reply was yes, FIL wants to go to the football so we are going to try and get tickets. DH very disappointed that they were choosing football over the Gkids at his birthday and i was honestly raging but just simply said fine i will try arrange something else for DH birthday.
Basically couldn't arrange other childcare so our plans were changed to staying at home. Not the end of the world but we were really looking forward to spending a bit of time together.
Well, today they are on the phone and DH asks what time are you guys going to the game and the reply is that they didn’t manage to get any tickets!!!
AIBU to be annoyed here? Cancelled their original plans with grandkids for a football game and then didn’t even get tickets for said game but still didn’t go back to original agreement?
YABU - they were right to do this.
YANBU - that was pretty shitty of them.
