Is this insensitive?

[Marshmallow264]

Not sure if I’m just being silly as I’m a bit emotional at the moment… so my family were meant to be coming to my house for Christmas Day. My Dad has been unwell, and today my mum has said they can’t come round as he’s not well enough. I’m quite upset as they don’t come round often but I understand if he’s not well. Within 10 minutes of telling my OH he’s called his family and filled the gap so they’re now coming round instead. Just had the MIL round this afternoon too planning all the food.
I just feel as if OH could have waited until at least tomorrow to invite his family round. Am I just being silly over this?

I am not sure why he needed to wait? Is there a grace period or something?

I think you're just upset not to be having your own people round. Absolutely understandable. Maybe you could organise something with them at New Year?

How did your family know that he wasn’t going to be well enough… it’s a week away ?

No but I was upset as it’s potentially my dads last Xmas, and he was so quick to invite his family round instead. You’re right though, there isn’t a grace period

Under the circumstances could you not transport Christmas to your parents and leave after the lunch or is it too far?

He probably has told his parents he couldn't spend Christmas with them because he was spending it with yours. He's allowed to want to spend it with them and it's only a week away so there's not really much time to waste.

Sorry to hear about your dad

It’s too far really but I’ll have a think about what I can do

Well he could have waited until you gave some thought to what you wanted to do if it might be your dads last Christmas.

Would you go to your parents house and do dinner there if your dad would be more comfortable there?

I think he was insensitive.

Would you go on your own and leave him to host his parents?
