to be a little put out?

My DH and I have recently moved back to our home town. My ILs have complained that they never see enough of the DC and that they were looking forward to seeing more of them when we moved.

Shortly after we moved back we took all the ILs (PIL, BIL, SIL, DN's) out for dinner and have visited regularly. We have also had a party to which they were all invited and all came.

Today my DH has gone away for a couple of months (work not prison lol), so it's just me and the DC in the house. The ILs are aware of this. I've just discovered that they have all gone out for a meal to celebrate BILs birthday.

DC and I weren't invited.

AIBU to be a little put out that we weren't invited given that we include them in everything, and visit regularly? DH was there all day yesterday helping with something, even though he had to go away today, so didn't see much of the children. I accept they needed help, and I don't begrudge it, but this may be part of the reason I'm a bit peeved by today's development. Could be I'm feeling a bit sidelined all round.

Do you think they would have invited you if your dh had been available? Or would they still have excluded all of you?

Damn, there goes the "oh, maybe it was a misunderstanding" thing :(

I agree with HHMotherfucker

Hopefully your own family is better than his side...

Well, it is your BILs bday thing & maybe he´s not bothered about you?

That said, your husband doesn´t have to be so helpful to the detriment of family time.

He could say no!

And I certainly wouldn´t be bothered about taking the children to them if you don´t want to.
