Furious Red

There really are no words.

Hubby and I arrive home in 9 days.

Mum is still with sprogged sister.

Mum has NOT YET BOOKED a return flight.

Dad says mum will still not be able to make it back before we arrive home.

This email will get sent....

I've talked with Hubby. The concert is the night of the 18th and we're leaving before lunch on the 19th. We'll be home than night for sure.

I am assuming that given that everyone is happy and healthy and there were no problems, Mum will be home for our arrival, yes?

Since there is no return ticket booked that would require a huge change fee and sis/baby are healthy, there is really no reason for this to be a 'long story'.

Basically, given the time we have, the effort we have put into this trip home, the amount of time since the last first and the fact that this is Hubby's first visit, quite frankly, if she is not there, we're not sticking around to see her. I'm beyond insulted and hurt and if this is the time for me to put my foot down, so be it. I'm tired of being the one to 'understand' when no one else seems to ever understand why I am upset.

If you both want to see both of us, you'll be there. If not, you won't. This it how it is. End of long story, as there is none.

Harsh?? Sister gave birth on the 27th June. We're back on the 19th. I've not been home in 3 years. Is it WRONG to expect my mother to be home when we get there???

3 years is a long time...you are NOT being harsh and you aren't at fault here whatsoever!
