[quote=Anonymous]My friend (who I haven't seen in 4 years) flew in last night. I offered to pick her up at the airport and have a few drinks to catch up. She insisted in having DH and DS there too for dinner.

I told her it was probably too late, DS would be miserable and ruin it. DH would stay home with DS and we could have some girls time and we'd do the family thing for lunch during the weekend. She said absolutely no, she wanted to meet DS at any cost and that if he fussed we could just sooth him. I mentally rolled my eyes (she's single and has no kids) and suggested a noisy family friendly restaurant. She agreed and that's where it happened. DS took his time warming up to her (she was clearly upset) and as we approached bed time he started the screeching episodes followed by banging on the table. We (me and DH) took turns walking him around until DS could not handle it anymore. We boxes our food while she finished hers and in the middle of the boxing DS started screaming and trying to unbuckle the highchair while we finished boxing and talked calmly to DS she snapped and shushed him so loud the poor thing stopped breathing for a second and then melted down crying.

We paid, marched outside towards the car and she tried making conversation on the way back. While I was pretty upset DH was just annoyed. I know for sure everything will be back the same on Saturday for lunch but I just wanted to vent a little. Thanks for listening. [/quote]
