My parents do not like dh or my pil. It's fair. Some of the things dh has done have been pretty bad but I'm not in a position to do much about it at the moment. Pil were extremely overbearing when ds was born but have backed off now. But my parents don't like how they behaved and some of the things they've done since.
Ds (5) is in a christmas parade with his drama group in a couple of weeks. I asked my parents and my mum was really excited about it, saying we could make a day of it etc. then I told her I was asking pil too. Now she says she and my dad won't come. But how can I ask my parents and not dh's parents? For all their faults they love ds and they are his other set of grandparents. Ds will be pleased they are there.
My mum says she's really disappointed and how she was looking forward to it and she's being really off with me but what else was I supposed to do?! My mum says I shouldn't have told them but dh knows about it and ds would have told them anyway, he sees them every week. And it's not fair not to tell them, I've had my differences with them but as I said they are ds's grandparents too.
Argh. Now I feel guilty and fed up. The whole thing has been ruined for me too, will just have to look cheery for ds's sake.
Aibu to think just for an afternoon they should just put everything to one side for ds and it's not my fault that pil are coming.
