[quote=Anonymous]I get the vent, but come on, stop being a door mat and take back control. Let her know when you are making the invitation, "So let's meet at 6, and if you find you are running late, that's ok, but just know that by 6:10 I need to order for the boys. You know how squirmy kids are!" Don't put it as anything other than a declaration. It isn't a question, and you aren't asking permission. And with babysitting, build in an extra 30 minutes. If you find she's on time, then perfect, you can get an extra cocktail at happy hour or just sit in the car and talk to DH in precious peace. This isn't hard! Yes, she's rude. But take back control to give yourself the advantage. You can do it girl! [/quote]
