My M&D live in Spain, came back last night to sort some stuff out but only staying til saturday morning. Mum asked last week if I could get extra tickets for DD1's school play but it was too late. So she said she would love to come to babies nursery nativity today. Brilliant, I thought. Last night, brother came over to drop off two tickets to his DD's nativity saying he'd spoken to them on phone and one would go to hers and one to DD's nativity (why 2 tickets then??) Any way, today they are home and radiator is leaking so mum says she has to stay in to wait for plumber but dad will go to nieces nativity . Got back earlier from my DDs nativity and they are both out, found out they both went to nieces nativity (plumber finished early). Still not back as have taken her out to tea. Worse, it was DD1's 7th b'day last week, didn't even get a card (don't they have b'days in Spain?). Always feel me and DH run around after/for them but get totally ignored. brother is divorced so doesn't see his daughter all the time but they help him out with every thing(even buying house for him & his DD), my DH works away and have no other family so feel pretty hard done by. Now just want to avoid them til they go back, feeling really hurt and ignored, again.
