[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your reasons for moving the flight were completely valid. I can understand why they’re mad - they are only thinking of themselves. [/quote]

Another +1 to this.

Is there a history of the in-laws getting into a huff if there are changes to their plans and expectations? Then they were always going to be mad, no matter what reasons you had for the change. And your reasons were absolutely valid. You can't perfectly predict how weather might have affected flights and you could even have ended up stuck there due to grounded planes - it's increasingly iffy to fly, OP, and bowing out early was the prudent thing to do.

The one thing I'd do, though, is ensure that it is your spouse, not you, who handles these communications with his parents and/or siblings. He should have been the one to tell them you needed to change plans and leave early, and he should be the only one to deal with any angry texts/calls/emails after the fact. Each spouse should handle his or her own family, in this and any other case, period. If you are the one running interference with angry in-laws, that's a hard no; your DH needs to be the point of contact if they have issues. [/quote]
