[quote=Anonymous]My daughters birthday party was this past weekend and I learned last Wednesday my in laws weren't coming. The party had been planned for 8 weeks and I even consulted with everyone before scheduling because it was a holiday weekend.

They didn't even call me to say anything. His mom spoke to my husband. Now they are generally very good grandparents and make an effort to see the kids (they live in the city next to us) when they can and play with them and help us around the house too. But not coming to your granddaughters 1st birthday because seems really messed up. For me, holidays and birthdays are really special (and I want them to be special to our kids). It's not about gifts, it's about celebrating with those you love and making them feel important.

They had to move out of their house by the end of the month and because my MIL is gone during the week watching her other granddaughter,  her time to get ready to move was limited. But our party was 3 hours and they couldn't even show up for 30 minutes? Really you could only find a mover on Saturday? And the end of he month was a self-imposed deadline?  It really changes my opinion about them and their decision making. You've known the party was happening for months and said you were coming.

It highlights a much bigger issue for me that they are horrible planners and we will have to pay the price in the end. Their move is a good decision but a short term solution to a much larger issue we need to address with them. It's frustrating because I know they will be at our nieces party in 3 months and it pisses me off that no one but me seems to give a F!

It in no way effected the day or the time with our guests but just felt wrong that they weren't there. Am I completely off base here? Do i just ignore it and not let them know it wasn't okay? I don't want to start an argument but I do want them to know it was not okay and my husband won't do that. [/quote]
