We're off to the ILs this weekend, 3 hr drive after work including M25 (aggh, hell) to see them for Christmas. The original plan was to go Friday, have their family Christmas do on Saturday night & come home Sunday lunchtime.
We've just found out that they have moved the family Christmas do to Sunday afternoon, which means that we won't get home til silly o'clock on Sunday night, and as I have to work Monday & Tuesday, bang goes my only time to do the washing, wrap a few presents, tidy up etc. Also then we can't relax & have a drink as one of us will have to drive.
SIL now has parties to go to on Friday & Saturday nights, hence the change of plan - but the day was originally agreed months ago with all the family. And we only found out about the change due to DH noticing something on her FB wall (bloody FB), ILs haven't thought to let us know.
AIBU to point out to the ILs that a bit of notice would have been nice? Or shall I just smile sweetly & fume silently?
Perhaps then we could have arranged to go Saturday morning to give me Friday evening to do things, but apparently it's too late to change our arrival day now as they've catered for us! DH says just suck it up, & don't fuss, I can do the washing & wrapping on Christmas Eve after work....
