[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should have planned better.  Your husband should not have given you a hard time for not showing up.[/quote]
Why was it her job to plan better? Why can’t the husband, who had the entire day off, be expected to plan, especially given that the visit was to his family? [/quote]

As people said, she set herself up for failure here, even without the trifling husband.  Home from vacation on the 23rd, full day or work on the 24th, Christmas Eve dinner after work, and hosting someone for breakfast on the 25th.  That's REALLY ambitious.

OP - you are both wrong here.  He was wrong for not doing what you asked him to do (or just telling you from the beginning that he wasn't going to), and you were wrong for not altering your plans to be able to do what you committed to.  You could have thrown something on, and grabbed the food early Christmas morning.  I don't buy the line about not knowing the store was open on Christmas morning.  Grocery stores have been open on Christmas for YEARS. It also would have been easy enough to call the store (or look online) for the holiday hours.  You thought you were going to prove a point by drying your clothes and going to the store, and then showing up super late.  He messed up your plans by coming home earlier than you expected, and yes, you WERE the a$$hole who missed Christmas.[/quote]
