[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While they were very rude to proceed with booking a weekend you said was bad--inexcusably so--OP was rude for not getting back to them within 24-48 hours.

It takes no longer than 48 hours, TOPS, to look at your calendar (which should be up to date; hello, it's the digital age), and propose a few sets of dates for your spouse to confirm. This can all happen within a few hours, and there's really no excuse why you can't get it done in a timely manner.

I bet if  your boss asked you about dates, you'd have an answer faster. If you CAN get it done for your boss, you CAN get it done for your family; who should be more important to you than your boss. [/quote]

Exactly! Why so slow OP? Did you just not want them to visit at all and they called your bluff?[/quote]

Doesn’t explain why they picked that eeekend, though.

They shouldn't have. [b]But in the absence of a plan, they made a plan. In the absence of information, they made a decision.[/b] I agree, that's ridiculous. But...it's not unheard of for old people to lose patience, panic/anxiety over stuff like travel, and make an irrational move like this. Depending on age, fitness, mental capacity, etc. ... yeah, you kind of have to treat old people with special care, and give them extra consideration. [/quote]

Yes, and they booked a flight for the one weekend they KNEW wouldn't work for OP. If they were so impatient and had to book a flight, why not the weekend before or after?  At least then there'd be a chance that it was a good time for OP and her family.[/quote]
