Have they been unreasonable?

I hate it when people make a decision that suits them (ie. excluding the MIL because they don't want her there), but then have the hump when others do the same (ie, inviting them instead).
It was the parent's choice to not invite MIL and their right to do so, just like it is the right of brother and his wife to subsequently say they won't come.
But the MIL had an alternative which she didn't want to take up because she doesn't like that daughter. That's then guilt-tripped brother and SIL into having to factor her in to their plans. Very selfish on the part of the MIL.
Out of curiosity, did the email just go to you, OP, or to your parents as well? I ask to try to gauge the collateral damage towards your parents - you said something about finding a time to go to see them.
If it only went to you, then they exclude your parents. If it was to both you and your parents, then they have tried to be inclusive.
And just to add, Tygermoth - wow, how awful for you and what a candid account of an awful event.LBM July 2006. Debt free 01 Sept 12 .. :T
