[quote=Anonymous]Arriving two hours early is not reasonable for a drive that takes 3 hours. If the drive was 10 hours, 2 hours early is within a reasonable margin of error. Your DIL works and volunteers and was preparing for guests. She can still love you and you can be a close family AND be guests in their home. Guests are stressful, especially for mid-life adults with highly scheduled lives. While it's fine for you to plan TONS of room and arrive in town hours early, you should have spent 90-120 minutes having lunch or coffee or something: not arriving early. It's not really fair to her to not be able to vacuum or cook or just relax. 30 minutes early in this scenario? Fair game. But 2 hours is out of the realm of fair. She arrived home, saw your car, quickly weighed whether or not it was worth it to start "entertaining" early or bail, and she bailed. It's not weird, it's entirely her right. And she can still like you![/quote]
