[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my parents are the exact same way. I learned a long time ago to stop telling them in advance because they always cancel. My parents live about 90 minutes away, so it isn't as convenient for my parents to come as it is for yours but they are always complaining they never see the kids but they always cancel and in the rare case they do come, they start talking about how they need to leave soon the moment they walk in the door.

Other things my parents have done: come into town and not told me (staying in a hotel) but my friends who know them have run into them at restaurants so they're busted, come into town but ask if they can park their car at my house for free and request a ride to wherever they have plans, whenever we have come down to see them they are always suddenly "super busy" and don't have much time to see us (as in 1 hour).

My kids are teens and just today my mother cancelled on me again. She claimed she wanted to come watch one of my kid's sports games and then we could all go out to lunch. But then around 9am this morning she texted me she wasn't going to be able to come for some random reason. I hadn't told my kids so the only person disappointed was me.  My parents barely know my kids, it's sad.[/quote]

We ran into my mom, her boyfriend and his grandkids who were in town staying with her going out to eat.  It was so uncomfortable and her grandkids preferred where we were going so we got stuck going out and paying for them.  [/quote]

Why would you pay for them? That’s on you. [/quote]
