[quote=Anonymous]I would say something calm and reasonable to your MIL. “Sister and Friend both told me that you [did x] at the hospital. I’m sure you had good intentions, but that wasn’t your call to make. I was expecting Friend and looking forward to seeing her, and she was looking forward to seeing me. In future please don’t make this kind of unilateral decision. [then immediate pivot to another topic]” If she tries to push back, jist repeat a short version, always keeping a reasonable and calm tone, and reiterate that you’re “sure she meant well, but…”[/quote]
