We were down at ILs tonight. I asked them just so we'd have an idea how long they plan on staying at milas party on sat.
MIL said, oh we need to decide if we are going at all. Poor DH looked shocked. He said, you aren't coming?
Mil said well we think we want to go to the church AND reception for BIL's friend sooooo we would just skip the party.
Meanwhile. My dad is not even supposed to be around anyone who could be sick. He's supposed to be resting. He still can't walk across a room without getting exhausted (this is normal I guess bc he was septic. It could take up to a year for him to regain full strength they told him). He is insisting he won't miss his granddaughter's party. We are making special plans to minimize his risk so he can still attend.
And my damn ILs can't be bothered to miss PART of a wedding of their SONS friend. Not even their close friend. Their sons.

I'm sorry @kdrake. Maybe we can start a compound for these type of people. I hope your Dad feels ok at the party and its so sweet he wants to be there despite his condition.

I had to text mil yesterday and suggest we get their family together to have cake for mila. I had to initiate this discussion.
Meanwhile over the summer they missed BIL's gf's daughters party (it was a new relationship and we got invited last minute) and it was a huge deal. We missed it too bc my BFF's sons party was the same day. They laid into us how we shouldn't miss her party, we should skip my BFF's. We refused to skip it.
They threw the daughter a party at their house where we all had to come and eat cake and bring her presents.
They however did not even think of doing this for their OWN granddaughter. Their first grandchild.
