LO's 1st birthday, DH and I said we'd hold a little party for her for family so that we could all have a get together to celebrate. Well aware she didn't know but thought it'd be a chance for both families to get together. My parents didn't come to my wedding as they couldn't get to the UK for the date they said (live in a different country and travel is approx 3 hours on a ferry and 3 in the car). Offered alternate dates and they said just to go on with it anyway.
My parents were in the UK for a hobby from Monday of this week to Friday but the actual event isn't until Thursday. LO's birthday was on Tuesday. We are approx 3 hours drive from where they are staying. We invited DH's family and them to the house for dinner. DM said to the invite that she'd be 'too upset having to leave so soon after arrival' to come to the party, but spent the day posting on Facebook how much she loves and adores her grandkids and that she's gutted she couldn't make it to see us.
My DH is wound up about that as he feels it would have been really easy for them to drive to us given how close they were. I can't get in the car to them at the moment as suffering awful morning sickness and car motion has me retching and vomiting.
So; who is BU? DH for being so mad or them for not bothering and the FB posting thereafter?
