[quote=Anonymous]You haven't actually apologized to your MIL, you just wrote that and then went into a rant about how you will tell her about your preferences. Quite frankly, you are making a mountain out of a molehill. Yes, she should have texted about what time she will come, you should have been clearer as maybe your communicate differently.  But, this is a wrong thing to pick on.  You don't write about any previous instances of your MIL being difficult, so is she?  If this is your only compliant, please realize that your are causing a huge rift over a small issue, that could have been graciously handled without this drama on your part. A text such as, "Billy just fell asleep, so please come in 3 hours," or "wasn't sure when you were coming, so I am at the Mall right now," would have sent the same message and wouldn't have caused this huge thing.  Looking back, I am sure you should realize that you are now upset for over a day and a half, worrying over your relationship with your MIL, and how you will face her and her family in the future, causing your DH a difficult time too with taking sides, basically everyone upset, and you probably most, over what?  You having to put your foot down?  I am wondering what was really the issue that was bothering you?  Maybe you were tired and something other than this caused you to be emotional? Your house was a mess or you wanted to take a nap with your baby? Certainly seems like you were reacting to something else, and your MIL ended up bearing the brunt.[/quote]
