They don't want to come to our house!

My sister lives overseas and comes over for a few weeks in the summer. It's the highlight of mum's year and we arrange our holiday etc so we can see them. She packs in a lot in but prioritised mum's and my Birthdays, or so I thought! I booked a table for mum's and bought a big cake to have back at hers afterwards but when I told her the arrangements for mine she said they might not be free! DH booked a table for 9 and she only confirmed the day before and said they were too busy to come back to ours after for Birthday cake!

AIBU to feel a bit miffed? My kids were looking forward to playing with their cousins too.

Just because it was in the calendar doesn't mean the exact arrangement were a given

Is going back to your house for cake normal for you ? Personally ive never done it so wouldn't assume that was the plan even if it we're on my calendar

Also I would not assume it was a snub of your home - maybe wanted early night ?
