In-Laws vent about Em's bday party

I don't think I already wrote this, but I'm sorry if I did. I can't stop thinking about it even though I've known this for a month now. Emily was born on June 3rd. So obviously we would like to have her bday on or around June 3rd. Everyone should have assumed that for almost a year now. My in-laws (MIL, FIL and SIL) instead decided they have to go to NASCAR races that weekend AND the following weekend, June 10th. I am not a NASCAR fan, so I think it annoys me even more. But I would think that their first granddaughter's bday would be the priority. They go to about 10 NASCAR races a year, so it's not like this is a treat for them. It pisses me off. We are having her party June16th, which is fine. But I can't stop thinking how rude and selfish they all are. They do MANY things like this, but I can't get over this one for some reason. Oh, and to top it off, at Em's Baptism picnic, they sat away from other people and didn't even socialize for some reason that we still don't know. They probably didn't think the party was good enough or were mad at me or DH for some reason. Sorry, I just have to vent.

Did you purposely move the date so they could attend? No way I would have done that.....maybe I am just b1tchy though.
Sorry they are being difficult. Just focus on your LO and if they decide not to have fun then too bad for them, that's their choice.
Yes, I did purposely move it for them. I didn't want DH to get mad. I know that he knows his family is a*^holes, but I felt bad for him. Everyone is saying I should have had it on the 3rd. I wish I had the balls to do that!!

I can't believe they would rather go to a Nascar race and that you have to move her birthday because of that! Well I actually guess I can believe it, because I'm pretty sure my IL's aren't even coming to LO's birthday. My SIL had her baby about 2 weeks ago, but they thought she might have gone into May so my MIL first excuse was the they wouldn't come if my SIL was having her baby close to LO's birthday, which I still think is BS but SIL did have her baby before so now they haven't said anything about the birthday party. MIL asked about gifts for LO but has said nothing so I'm assuming they aren't coming and they have no good reason not to come, they are just assholes! I don't want them to come because I strongly dislike them but I think it's BS for you to think you can miss out on your first granddaughters birthday just because and still call yourself a grandparent.
It's not like they can't afford to drive down or can't take the time they are just not coming to spite us. Ugh! Sorry turned this into my own vent but I can totally relate to what you are saying.
