Worked my day off for colleague who's had a party

[Gotthetshirt23]

So, shift workers and key workers .
A few months ago my colleague asked if anyone could/would cover their shift as husband was going on a "hobby" weekend and parents couldn't visit to look after child due to covid.

I offered , breaking up my long weekend to work the Sunday . I am working Monday but we work 2 weekends and then have one long weekend off .

I checked earlier this month, as to if I was still needed as covid restrictions have changed and family have been together, to find out "parents had plans"
Which obviously was not covid restriction related.

Their social media today is a load of photos of the big birthday celebration, clearly with relatives in the photos , cake , the works .

It's not the child's birthday today , in fact it's several days away.

AIBU ?

YANBU.

But in future don't agree to swap shifts unless you're really happy to do so. I wouldn't give up my long weekend to solve someone else's childcare issues, let alone so they can go and have a party.

Was the illegal comment not relating to the party?

Ah yes- makes much more sense! I was tired, not thinking and thought it was referring to the coworker lying to change her shift!
