[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe she was just saying those things so you wouldn't feel bad if you couldn't make it due to Sandy. If you can safely travel and you have a place to stay, then you need to go since you RSVP'd yes. [/quote]

If she was a different kind of person, I'd give her that benefit of the doubt. Or she could just come out and ask whether travel will be an issue. We are doing it as a turn-around trip, in part because we knew she could act like this and at 9 pm want to be able to say "well - it's going to be a long drive back to DC, gotta go." It has just gotten so old since this has been going on for over a decade at every life event. For example she HAD to have all of us at her D's sweet 16, which was thrown in a fancy reception hall etc. I didn't want to go as I thought that was a "friend" party and I don't consider myself close enough friends with the D. She insisted, my family RSVP-ed yes only to have her call a week later and say to my mom "oh, your kids are coming. You know there won't be a lot of older kids at the party." Her D was 16, we were 18 and 19. Obviously the invite was just for show and she was looking to cut costs. We were able to bail them bc it was months before the party, not a week. It's just gotten so old.[/quote]
