[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She was inconvenienced because of your son's fault. That is the fact.   It does not matter if you think that her inconvenience was small. That is your opinion.

You are feeling inconvenienced because you are supposed to fix your son's fault. That was your moral obligation. But you did not allow yourself to be inconvenienced to fix your son's fault.  That is your selfishness and entitlement. You are not a good role model to your children in doing the right thing. Sorry, but I am not on your side. Even though I have sympathy for your situation.

Sometime doing the right thing is not easy, but not doing the right thing is wrong.[/quote]

This is moral gibberish. Suppose the other mom demanded that OP fly to their international vacation destination to hand deliver the bathing suit. We would all agree that's unreasonable, right? So clearly there's SOME threshold at which we think OP no longer has an obligation to accommodate the other mom. The question is just what that level of inconvenience is. Saying OP's inconvenience is irrelevant because of a moral obligation is plainly wrong.[/quote]
