To be a bit miffed about this?

DD1's 5th birthday is in the spring. PIL announced over Christmas that they will be on holiday again for her birthday. This will be the third year in a row they will have booked a holiday over her birthday and therefore missed it. AIBU to think this is quite hurtful? I could have understood occasionally having to miss her birthday for a holiday, but 3 years in a row feels a bit much.

There is a backstory here in that me and DH feel that SIL and BIL's children are favoured by PIL over ours, and I can't imagine them ever booking a holiday over one of our nephews birthdays, so this may be clouding our judgement a bit.

What do people keep saying on MN? "They've had their turn", isn't it? They've done years of kids' parties, give them a break.

All you slating what I said... When you’ve lost a parent who was and would have continued to be an amazing grandparent maybe you’ll have more empathy for the op. Treating 2 grandsons like the second coming and ignoring your granddaughter is shit. I don’t care what anyone thinks of my opinion of that.
