Never posted in AIBU before, although longtime lurker so i am wearing my hard hat!
Just wondering whether i am being unreasonable to feel pissed off with a situation really.
Hubby suggested the other day instead of going to eat out for Mother's day as in our experience it's overpriced, over crowded rushed etc.. that he would cook a roast and we could invite his Mum and Dad over which i thought was a lovely idea. He doesn't cook very often so i thought it was really thoughtful of him, we decided on Beef as it's my favourite and everyone else likes it.
When my inlaws came round i invited them and they said it was a nice idea, then they said what about Bob*name change this is my hubby's 33 year old brother, they said he would feel left out if he wasn't invited as he had said he wanted to see his mother on Mother's day, i said yes that's fine although in my head I'm thinking why can't he just go to their house in the morning, or evening to see her, we have invited them to come at 1.30 to eat for 2pm so the likelihood is they will be gone by 5! so plenty of chance to see Bob!
I did then say to them that it was awkward for seating arrangements, we have a small four seater dining table so on past occasions when they have been, us four adults sit at the table and we have a little table we get out for our two children 5 and 3 and stick that next to ours. We don't have a spare seat to stick at the big table, even if we did there wouldn't be enough room. I then remember that Bob doesn't like beef so MIL says she has some spare Lamb so she will cook that and bring it round! and that it will be fine to stick Bob on the sofa in the other room to eat his dinner!!! This just makes me feel awkward, surely he is going to feel left out sitting eating his dinner in another room on his own!!!
The whole things just pissed me off, i don't dislike Bob, this has all been arranged without him really so i can't blame him, it's just the bloody Inlaws making things all complicated! To annoy me even more hubby has since spoken to them and they all agreed that he would cook chicken as Bob will eat that, i don't want fricken chicken lol! we have it all the time. I'm quietly seething but not said anymore on the matter as there's no point really, Bob's coming, he's sitting on his own in another room eating boring chicken Lol
I know people have far worse problems than this lol but am i right to be pissed off about this?
