[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She was right. You were wrong. The sick kid wasn't at the party and the world doesn't revolve around your kid's GPA. That midterm is not the reason you had a fit. Reach into your brain and figure out what your problem really is.[/quote]

+1  You clearly dislike your SIL and created a lot of drama around this event needlessly.  She's visiting her family for her birthday yet somehow the entire night was centered around your germophobia, ostensibly in service of your kid's test?  DH has to scout the restaurant for a place separate from the party for you sit and be catered to, has to text you about what's going on, then you argue that you shouldn't have to come inside for even two minutes and instead they should wheel the elderly outside for your comfort, because . . . think of the geometry test?  It seems really ridiculous to an observer.[/quote]
The SIL created the unnecessary drama by [b]insisting she go inside [/b]after op made it clear she was uncomfortable doing so. Op should have stayed home but SIL would have made a big deal about that since she's already a "whole family over for my bday" type but leaves her dh and son out. Like attracts like but op does seem like the bigger person to have apologized. SIL is still throwing a hissy fit because someone dared to have health anxiety on her birthday.[/quote]

For her mobility-impaired father who couldn't come out.  Read better.  I bet this isn't the first time OP has done something like this and SIL is just fed up with it. [/quote]

Yet, he made it to the restaurant to sing happy birthday to his princess. Please! She was just protecting daddy and made a scene insisting that SHE had better judgment than OP when it came to OP's health. [/quote]
