OK. My auntie lives in Hull. My Mum lives in Teesside and I live in Harrogate.

My auntie is Hull has booked tickets to an evening 7pm performance to see a panto in Hull in January. She is treating my Gran, my Mum, plus another aunt and her 3 grandchildren.

My other aunt is driving from Teesside taking her 3 grandkids and my Gran so there is no room in teh car for my Mum.

My Mum does not drive, so between them they have decided that My Mum will get train/buss from Teesside to Hull and I can either take ds to my mum's and he will get the bus with her or I drive ds to Hull and meet my mum there.

I can either wander around Hull or come home, only to set off and pick ds up again later.

It all seems TOTALL impractical to me and I have said ds won't be going. My Mum is upset, saying my aunt will lose money and it is throwing kindess in her face.

She didn't even consult me before booking it.

So, AIBU?

Why didn't they get you a ticket?

Parents of the kids are not invited (ie me and my cousins). It's my aunt wanting it to be her, plus her 2 sisters and their grandchilden. pLus her Mum (my gran)

YANBU - it sounds completely impractical. Very odd not to consult the parents of the children first.

Anna8888 · 21/11/2008 17:25

Very unreasonable (a) not to have consulted you first (b) not to offer to take you to.

Just say no.
