[quote=Anonymous]First, let me say that I have a wonderful mother. I realize that the situation I am about to describe is barely a blip on the radar, and I am overthinking. I am just curious if you would be annoyed if this happened to you?

I am at my parent's home for Thanksgiving weekend along with my sibs and their kids.
DD just turned 2, and I have been looking forward to putting together a Shutterfly book of the past year for her.
This was the PERFECT, and pretty much only time I could do the book because:
1) My computer was having issues, and easier to do it on computer at parent's house.
2) SIL and I get along GREAT, and is excellent on computer- I am not. I did 95% of the book, but relied on her to help with occasional minor questions. Once she got me started then I worked on the book independently, with the occasional question.
She was happy to help me, as we have that kind of relationship, and she knew the situation.
3) Childcare for once not an issue, as DD was happily playing with cousins/Grandma agreed to watch her-and DD had just fallen asleep.

Mom/grandma walks in just as I was finishing the book, and huffily said, "It is time to stop working on the book. It is taking too long We are all tired. Finish it later." (It was 9:30, DD had just fallen asleep, SIL putting her kid to bed so she could quickly look over the completed book before I submitted it. SIL in room with me, and said,"I am happy to help. No problem here." I got a little huffy back ("Just let me finish!" to my mom, and she walked away.

I later apologiized to my mom for my comment, but explained how this was the perfect time to do the book. She pretty much ignored my apology, and replied, 'Did you thank SIL for helping you?" (Of course, I did.....and told her that....)

End of vent. What do you think?
