So my DN’s birthday is in a couple of weeks. It falls on a Saturday. She will be 7.
Months ago I booked concert tickets for me, DH and MIL for a band we all love. They were playing on the Friday and Saturday. I booked the Friday to keep the Saturday free in case SIL planned anything for DN’s birthday.
SIL has now decided she is having a family dinner on the Friday night and a soft play party with all DN’s school friends on the Saturday. She was not happy when I told her we couldn’t make it due to having other plans and has accused me of trying to ruin her daughter’s birthday. According to her I shouldn’t have made any plans close to DN’s birthday just in case. I have said we could still do a lunch but this isn’t good enough. MIL now feels torn and doesn’t know what to do. I think she is going to miss the concert but I’m not. I don’t think it’s fair to expect us to keep all dates free around the actual birthday.
So AIBU to still go to the concert and ignore SIL?
