We have a holiday booked in France in July- dh's parent's have booked it and payed for it, the whole family going including his brother and sister and their families.
We got a puppy earlier on this year (she's 4mths now) and we had previously confirmed that my parents would look after her when we took holidays etc. My parents are divorced.
Anyway we had agreed that my dad and his new wife would have her the first week as that fitted into their schedule and my mum would have her the second week.
Last week my mum got the date through for a back operation that she needs and it's the first day of the week she was doing...but I'm not angry about that, that's just unfortunate timing and my mum needs the op.
But my dad was round today and when I mentioned the dog-sitting he said his schedule had changed- I said maybe we could swap the weeks over and that might suit both parties better. We had originally discussed it with both him and his wife and they had written it in their diary. He phoned tonight to say he can't do it anymore.
I am really angry about it. We now have no dog-sitter and can't afford kennels. I looked after my dad's incontinent, grumpy, arthritic dog for 3 weeks while he went to south africa a couple of years ago even though he had just had an affair and left my mum in a right state and now he's totally let me down again. I don't know what we're going to do.
I'm sorry but I just needed a place to vent!!
