[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you know she was leaving?  Had you talked about plans to get her to the airport?

I think she's way overreacting, and her email is really harsh.  It sounds as though she asked this uncle (her half sibling?) to pick her up for the airport, and uncle brought people, and then she invited them in to see the baby.  Which isn't great, but it's also different, in my mind, from planning some kind of social gathering.

I understand your reaction, but I probably would have had DH take the baby out by the front door for a moment so they could have a glance or something, and then be glad that she's going and you have some privacy.  [/quote]

Op they came with a gift and drove over an hour to come get her so I think it was a social visit under the guise of a ride to the airport. She never discussed the airport plans with my but my husband could have taken her or usually she hires this airport driver guy who is great. So I feel like the ride to the airport is an excuse [/quote]
 DH should not under any circumstances do the airport drive.   
Relatives who drove an hour to get the load out of your house? Stand on walk and DH holds the baby near the door, no toilet priveledge and no refreshments. Lazy mom of OP exits and that's it.  That whole group could have visted each other in a restaurant.  I'm a boomer GM, MIL etc.  If the OP mom was a true help during the isit the house would not have been a mess- from laundry to tidying up.  Obviously she didn't perform her role.[/quote]
