[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone who would be late to an important event would also be someone who would *choose* to say they felt slighted.

You actually have a husband problem Op. He should not give an audience to her tales and complaints. He's sort-of looped into this behavior also, and that's not good. And you (you didn't think you would escape criticism, did you?) proving you can pull a rabbit out of a hat Your magical logistical feats, you need to chill more. Stop with the promises and making life more complicated. Say no to your DD next time, a lot more nos. When it complicates an otherwise already busy time.[/quote]
NP, but is wild. How is getting a child fast food on the way to an event, when time has been allocated for it, making things complicated?

OP did nothing wrong. The MIL was late, full stop. Had she arrived before five as instructed, they would have all been in the car and gotten the pre-planned and time-allocated-for food together. But the MIL was late. [/quote]

Do we even know how late she was or if she was? The OP says she was supposed to be there at 5, called at 4 45 saying she was running late, and OP wais surprised MIL got there when she did. Perhaps MIL was trying to be polite qnd give a heads up but wasn't very late, and OP mistimed it by going out instead of waiting 5 minutes.[/quote]
In that case, they’re both in the “wrong”. I don’t think either is wrong, but the MIL clearly shares in the blame either way. [/quote]
