She's your mother and i assume she raised you. You are acting like you've spent your life doing her favours and she's done nothing for you

To be honest I should have known better posting on GD.
Very family orientated but leaving your mum out of a big family meal at christmas and getting angry at her when she decides to do something else..Interesting
How old are you, out of interest?
Why? is anyone still peckish after the 25th

I did a similar thing earlier in the year with him and the entire evening was spend stopping him tryimg to run into the kitchen or screaming... It's not pleasant for anyone.
I read it as his Mrs's grandparents are paying for the meal, so it could be just her side of the family invited ?

Old enough to realise some people need to be out on the ignore list....
Why is it people can't just discuss something rather than post veiled digs and jibes.

Thats fine, but he shouldnt be angry at his mum for also wanting to be with people over the christmas period.
I'd actually logged out, but felt obliged to reply to the above.
In that case why are you now letting off steam to your parents freedom of choice?
Agreed.
These are the hallmarks of a Mumsnet / AIBU thread
Thought I'd logged into Mumsnet by mistake.

Don't you fancy taking the McCann tips for kids during an adult dinner ?
I did chuckle
Personally I wouldn't want my child being babysat by my parents if that was their cold and uninterested stance!
I've canceled epic nights out with friends so as I can be around and play with my nephews! It's a treat and family should want to spend time with close relatives!
(That said if it was becoming a weekly thing and I felt either myself or my parents were being taken advantage of (has/would never happen) then I would possibly have words! Even then though that would be a last resort as I would never want my nephews to think I didn't want to spend time with them.

This.
At this rate, we'll have a poll for the next forum section to be "Generally Mumsnet."

I think it's more that the OP is hurt that his parents would rather arrange to go out with their friends (something they can and most probably do all the time) then spend some time with their grandchildren.
Unless they see/babysit all the time then I can understand how the OP feels tbh. (If they do already spend a lot of time with their grandchildren then you need to respect that they too have a life and that it's not fair to impose yourself upon them all the time)
