[quote=Anonymous]My family side (cousins here. parents are not close) are very easy going. Too easy. They invite us (DH,me,DD) to family dinner/lunch/party but often change its date and time because someone can't make it for whatever reason. DH is the opposite, he wants everything planned well and stick to it, not last minute thing. Needless to say he is very angry when my cousin changes the date or time. He said, they(my cousins) are not respecting people, I made time for them and they keep changing it. Well, I get his point and I told my female cousin (who usually plans) but it sill happens. I get caught in the middle. I can't change either side. 
Now every time my cousins plans anything, I have to say "they are thinking of ..... this weekend but nothing is no time and date are decided yet" and tell my DH when they give me the time & date and usually it is Thur or Fri. Every day or other day since I said that, my DH would ask me when is the get together? and I said "they haven't told me yet". Then he would look upset "how hard is it to set a date". I feel bad too. DH complaints to me so much about it that I lost it at the last Christmas dinner. I cancelled it because my cousin (the host) moved from 7 to 8pm. Honestly, I would now mind that, but with pressure from DH's complaints, I made a big fuss. I felt so bad. I apologized the next morning but there seems to be a scar in my relationship with my cousins. 
What should I do to fix this? Can I do anything at all? [/quote]
