AIBU to feel a bit miffed with my DP?

[sensuallettuce]

I have an older sibling who lives abroad. My DP visit them for a holiday about once a yr for at least a week. I live a 2 hr drive away and the last time they visited was over a yr ago.

Invited them for a w/e (to see me and my DC's) we managed to find one where they weren't busy (they are retired).

They are meeting up with friends (who live in same town as me) before they come here for lunch. DC's wanted to organise things with their friends, I said no as GP's are visiting and DM has now given very vague arrival time .

AIBU to feel a bit pissed off?

Or am I just U?

Well, if they are coming for lunch there's not a lot of leeway is there?

But I am at a complete loss as to why you are miffed with your DP!!!

I am guessing you mean DP = your parents????

If so, why don't you visit them??

I meant my dear parents

I do visit them.

YABU

they are coming for lunch so I guess they'll be around from
Noon

If you only see them every so often then I think it's ok that your kids are around

Get something organised for your DCs and tell your DPs they're welcome between 12 and 4. That way no one loses out, your DCs can see friends and you won't feel your easy going nature is being taken advantage of. Also wonder why you don't visit them?

I mean so the kids can see friends in the morning before 12 or after 4 and be there for your folks obviously

I guess I am - just feel abut like I have to beg them to come and then they are still too busy for me or my DC's.

Or even invite me?!

I'd be miffed too, they spend a whole week with your sibling and can't be arsed to spend a whole weekend with you and your Ds's that is sad. Shame on your parents.

Yes I would be annoyed too. It is just as important they spend time with you as time with your sibling. I'd jusr casuallymention as they are visiting thier freind in the morning the kids willb e back at x time and you'd love to see them in whatevert iem frame you deem acceptable. Remind them the kids want to see them etc....
