Another mil one sorry.

So dp is in work for the morning, mil, sil and her bf have taken ds to the blue planet aquarium.

I am a bit fucker off with as
a) I only found out yesterday
b) I've been dying to take him for ages, and they know this (since ds was one, he is now three)
c) when I told him his nana and auntie were taking him out today as a treat he asked to go to see the dinosaurs in the museum
d) I told them that's what he's asked for and they've all ignored both of us and are taking him to the aquarium anyway, at which point ds got really upset so they lied to him and said they were going to the museum

I'm annoyed that they've lied to ds, annoyed that they've taken him somewhere I've wanted to take him for a long time and annoyed that they're just going there because that's where they want to go not where ds wants to go and this was supposed to be a treat for him.

There is quite a bit of back story to this though, mil is pretty much universally regarded as a total bitch by everyone I know including dp.

Sorry this is just a bit of a rant really as it's not the first time she's pulled shit like this.

I enjoyed blue planet, but I've never encountered an attraction with such inadequate public transport.

Whilst I think it's a shame that your DS didn't particularly enjoy his day out, I have to confess to a warm rosy glow that your in-laws ended up ding what you suggested in the first place. A very expensive error for them.

So, first of all your complaint as that you wanted to take him to Blue Planet yourself, but haven't got round it in two years.

Then suddenly your complaint changed to 'they should have taken him to the dinosaur museum as I knew he wouldn't like Blue Planet'. If Blue Planet was so unsuitable, why have you been wanting to take him there yourself for two years?

It just sounds like you begrudge them taking him out at all, to be honest. You sound really pleased that he didn't enjoy it, which is just petty.

This whole post comes across as very petty.

"thank you for taking ds out for the day" is what you are looking for.

The one coming across as a bitch here is you op.
