[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a grandmother.  Unless it was an emergency health situation, I would keep my plans for the birthday party and then see the newborn after.  I never want to appear like I am showing favoritism and I keep my plans.[/quote]

My mother is like this.  Little to no emotion in her decision making. Certainly no nuance.  I could call her and say I'd won the Nobel Peace Prize and was giving a speech , the next day, to the entire universe and begged her to come as my guest of honor to witness me being given this award by God himself, and she'd say that she'd love to only she already promised to go out to lunch with my brother and she wasn't one to cancel plans on her children.

Yet it sounds like if she had previously planned to have lunch with you — and prioritized that over something that came up with another family member, she’d prioritize her time with you.  I like your mother’s values — which sound caring and considerate. [/quote]
