For being annoyed at my family ?

It's my sons first birthday party Sunday, nothing big, just a little tea party at home. I've bought some food and a birthday cake etc.
my partners family are coming and my family are meant to be .. which includes my mum, dad, brother and his girlfriend, 2 cousins and their younger families, my auntie and my nan.
Every person has cancelled apart from my mum.
A couple have had colds last week and still getting over it but have been working. That's their excuse.
Another one said she didn't want to drive because of the weather ( the roads are fine where I live and there's no snow at all).
My brother said he couldn't come because his girlfriend had a cold at the start of the week and he's busy with work stuff.
My dad said he doesn't like social events so not coming.
One cousin can't come because the party is at 3pm and her 3 year old will have a danger nap in the car so therefore won't go to bed on time.
I just feel since Covid there is such a cancel culture.
We will have a good time regardless I'm sure. My partners family are very reliable and nobody has dropped out. Just a bit hurtful that nobody wants to bother I suppose.
AIBU?

I immediately thought World cup final.

If not that then just selfish people who can't be arsed.

At least your son won't really care.

The party starts at 1pm before the World Cup. My partner loves football so will have the World Cup on here anyway

That's even more rubbish that they can all see on the family chat they are letting you down

Take a pic of the cake and all the food and post it 'wondering what to do with this lot...'

I'd be pissed off too OP

Thank you ! Just wanted to know I'm not being unreasonable. I'm a very understanding person but just hate it when people just don't make the effort.

Do your family have to travel fother to get to you?

My brother is quite far about 1.5 hours. Cousins are 40 mins away. So kind of. But they are people that drive all the time for work etc as in driving never usually phases them x

That's really crappy Flowers
I hope your son has a lovely first birthday though.

Are you sure they didn't cancel cause it's the World Cup final tomorrow?
