M basically tells me I'm a no good jerk for being mad. We exchange heated words, and somehow its twisted to where I'm the one who's out of line because I think people should follow through on things they have agreed to do and not cancel at the last minute. Apparently its also unreasonable for me to want to change the session to my place the odd time once a year or so.
This isn't the first time they've cancelled on me at the last minute. The other times I'd already made the drive to their place and then had the session blown. I guess I should count my blessings. At least this time I didn't have to drive an hour to be let down.
Disappointment and frustration are natural reactions. Getting back on the phone and having heated words about it is out of line. Here's the thing - how well the parents think the kids will handle the change in venue as well as the 2 hours in the car trump your belief on whether or not they should follow-through with a gaming session plan, particularly when a 1 year old is involved. That's the long and short of it and it's a responsibility the parents have to bear. If they don't think the kids will do well enough with the change and drive, they have the responsibility to call it off no matter how much they want to game.
At least this time you got notice.
