[quote=Anonymous]Amen to that, sister.  preach.
I have just been thinking about how much TIME and ENERGY and LABOR and MONEY has been spent over the milennia dealing with men's anger and men's tantrums.  All these people tiptoeing around angry men -- often with dire consequences, people who are afraid to tell Dad not to make a risky investment with the college money, women who see their male boss making a mistake and know they can't say anything because he will yell.  Laborers who ignore shoddy construction because the big boss is a yeller.  Why have we all put up with it for so long?

BTW, my dad is exactly like the dad in the scenario and you'd have to be INSANE to put yourself in a position where you share a rental car.  This guy doesn't care about anyone but himself or anyone's schedule but his own.  He doesn't care if your child is hungry, etc.  THe lesson is not to put yourself in that situation again.

ALso, invite your mom to visit without him and if she doesn't take up the invite, that's her problem not yours.[/quote]
