Re: They changed the party date

We had theater tickets that had to be changed two days out from
the play because one person of the other couple got a call from
a medical specialist that due to a cancellation that person
could have an appointment that would have made the theater time
very tight. Otherwise, they would have had a week's wait. Even
though it involved a few dollars inconvenience (moving from
preview performance night to after opening night) I was not
going to complain, health takes precedence and this was for an
oncologist, so time could be of the essence.

In general it's obviously rude and inconsiderate to change the
date of one's party at the last minute. But I don't think we can
really pass judgement on the couple in this case, not knowing
exactly what went down there. Somebody is being inconsiderate
here, to be sure, but we don't know who. If one of the
grandmas-to-be suddenly threw a spanner in the works saying 'I
can't make Saturday after all! Change the date for my sake! You
can't have this party without me!', they may well have felt
unable to say 'Too bad, Mom, we can't change it now, you'll have
to miss out'.

Having read a bunch of "toxic relatives" forums then I can
totally see some power struggles going on.
You responded to the invite next Sat.
They have now rescinded that invite and have set up a new party.
It is now this Friday.
You are welcome to
1) Send your regrets
2) Send your regrets and still send your present
3) Attend.
I would choose based on :
1) How close are you to the showeree
2) How flaky/entitled they have been the past
3) How difficult it is to change your plans

Well, yes. Having a medical appointment is reason to cancel most
plans, and when it's for an *oncologist* no one could complain.

Make that "anyone with more sensitivity than a rhinoceros
shouldn't complain" - I've still run into a very few people who
really can't/don't see things from the other person's point of
view without having their attention grabbed with a two by four
or maybe a six by ten...
