2.5 year olds can be quite a handful. Eight week old babies mostly sleep. I suggest that your son-in-law and daughter would quite like an easy day out for her birthday and that's why they don't want a two and a half year old in tow.

To put it another way, they are taking advantage (and why not?) of the usual arrangement for Mondays.

Don't over think it.

She is only 2.5 y.o and they could have other plans to celebrate with her later

Maybe disrupting her routine is not beneficial for your gd

I would drop it.

Hi there, just wondered what people thought of this issue.
I have my granddaughter whose 2.5 on Mondays and Thursday. My daughter's on mat leave as she recently had another baby 8 weeks ago. I still have my GC so she has a break.
This Monday is my daughter's birthday and her husband has taken day off to celebrate her birthday. His taking her and baby out for the day just garden places and lunch etc. His not included my older grand daughter and actually asked me to pick her up earlier.
I was quite surprised as I feel she's being excluded. I didn't want to cause upset so just said I thought they'd all be spending the day together but was free to pick her up . To which he just said that would be great.
I felt quite upset as I don't understand how they won't want her to be included in her mum's birthday celebrations. Am I being over sensitive
