[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, but how would it be any better if you still drove those 3 hours roundtrip and then were stuck in the mall for 3 hours for trying dresses and a joint lunch in some crappy mall eatery?
Your time situation and exhaustion would be even worse.

She probably wanted it to be more personal than just sending an email with a link to the dress. Also, it's very understandable that she pre-chose the dress to avoid having to go back and forth if you liked some other dress out of 20 you tried, and the other mom liked something else too.

It was up to you to push back on the driving, esp since you have a baby. You chose to accommodate but now you feel annoyed. There is a lesson to be learned here.[/quote]

My DD was looking forward to looking at pretty dresses with her future aunt. So the difference is it would have been a fun activity for my DD and a chance for us all to get to know each other better. That’s why I agreed to go. It was pitched as a fun afternoon for the girls. She clearly just couldn’t wait to choose a dress which is 100% her prerogative and absolutely fine. Just wish she had shared that info beforehand so we could decide if the trip out there was still worth it.[/quote]

It is over, OP.  Drop it.

It sounds to me a little like you oversold the experience to your daughter,and now you're embarrassed in front of your kid.  I hope you didn't say too much when you drove home and even now because it sets a bad precedent and you want to be a better role model.  If you did then just go back and apologize to your daughter for it and correct any misunderstandings she might have about the situation.  You don't want her internalizing that her future aunt was wrong when the future aunt actually wasn't but you were in your expectations and not clarifying before agreeing. [/quote]
