[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few months ago, MIL plans a 75th birthday party/dinner for FIL for this Saturday at a casual restaurant.  DH has a brother who lives in Philadelphia who's coming with his family and others from the family were coming, including MIL's cousin and her family.  Monday, MIL calls and tells DH that the party's off because HER cousin (who's local and we haven't seen since our wedding 20 years ago) can't come.  DH suggested that the rest of us just get together since BIL is coming to town, but MIL didn't want to do that and didn't know what BIL's plans would be, so everything was off.

One of our sons plays sports and we contacted his coach a long time ago to tell him that he wouldn't be at his game this weekend because of the party.  [b]We thought it was important that we go to the party since the family rarely gets together and it's a big milestone for FIL.[b] [/b]

Once the party was cancelled, we contacted the coach to tell him that our son would now be at the game, which was moved to a school considerably closer to the party and now starts at 5 pm. The game was originally at 4:45 and an hour away from the party.

Today, MIL decides that the party's back on.  I think that my son should go to his game and play at least half; then we'll go to the party a bit late. The appetizers start at 5 and the game's about 15 minutes away from the party.  DH says no, we just tell the coach that my son's now not going to be there.

The salient point is bolded.  I'm not sure why the intervening temporary cancellation affects that assessment?[/quote]
