[quote=Anonymous]OP, I tend to agree with the camp that "Sounds good, let me know what time," is sufficiently vague that calling when she is on her way is understandable. I think when she is finally speaking to you again (I would give her a few days to calm down), then you say that you're sorry about the misunderstanding, that you do want her to be able to visit with her grandson but that you'd like X amount of notice when she's coming, whether that's an hour, 4 hours or a day. Clearly, your expectations and understandings are different than hers and you can clear this up by being more explicit rather than vague about your expectations. It you said that she can come over any day with about 2 hours notice, then I'm sure she'd understand. Misunderstandings happen so often when people have different expectations and the only way to solve those is to be more explicit rather than implicit when communicating.[/quote]
