[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for some perspective and advice on a situation that unfolded yesterday evening during my child's performance event.

My DH is currently out of town, but both my mom and MIL were invited to attend the performance. The plan was for everyone to meet at my house by 5pm so we could drive together, since both were nervous about the parking situation. I had told them in advance that I’d promised DC Chick-fil-A for dinner, which we’d pick up on the way, and then after the performance, we’d all come back to my house for soup and salad that I’d already prepared. Everyone was informed of this plan and seemed to think it was a great idea.
At around 4:45, MIL called to say she was running behind... let go?[/quote]

OP's child was in a performance timeline: ordered chick fil a to eat pre performance,  2 GM/OP/child get the food, drive to performance location in same car, then performance, all reload to drive back to house for light post show meal.   So MIL was late and everyone had to return to the house adding an extra stop/back tracking to load her in the car.  And MIL has the narcissistic nerve to complain?

[b]OP should have called and texted that since she was late, she should drive directly to the performance location.  [/b] Instead MIL makes it all about her and catering to the rude behavior.[/quote]
