My husband found out that he CANNOT take a day that I had already bought plane tickets for. Womp womp. We were going to take the credit for his flight and use if for a future flight. No big deal.
I get this long text from his mom this morning about the "options she looked into". I had no idea what she was talking about and was very confused. I am not certain but I'm assuming he mentioned to her that he won't be coming home and so she took it upon herself to try to find ways to help. I'm basing this assumption on the fact that I know he does not ask for her help with things like this.
I get that she probably just really wants him to come home to see him but honestly, she would will see him for just a few hours because we're going to be busy with this wedding most of the time we're there.
So the option she offered was to fly him out directly from Colorado Springs to Chicago on the morning of the wedding then he'd fly back with me as scheduled from Chicago to Denver. (We don't ever plan on flying direct from CO Springs cause it's like $300 more for both of us AT LEAST).
Again, very nice of her to...take it upon herself...and try to help us out. But I just don't want her throwing money around for this. It's frustrating to me. We're adults and we can figure this out on our own. If it means he can't go to the wedding, so be it. He can't get the Friday off, it is what it is.
And honestly, as far as her getting to see him, this will probably work better anyways. We were supposed to land in Chicago at 10am Friday and so I know we'd basically have to split time between my family and his from 10am Friday to about 11am Saturday. Then the rest of the time was going to be at the wedding. This way, I can just spend my time with my family, and when he goes home for a wedding in October (I am not going--it's just too many plane tickets) he can spend all that time with his family.
I know I sound ungrateful for having someone who's trying to help...it's just the fact that to me it feels like she's sticking her nose in our business. I did not ask for help, and I can guarantee my husband didn't either.
When I mentioned the fact that Mr. LP wasn't coming home with me in August to my parents they weren't all "oh, let us pay the difference for a flight!" They WON'T do that type of thing and I know it because I was SUPPOSED to go to that other wedding in October and they didn't offer to "fix it" when I told them I wasn't coming home anymore. That's how it should be. We're adults, we need to "fix it".
