[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You showed up to her house empty handed?  Yikes. [/quote]

Op here - actually no, I showed up with several birthday gifts, a bottle of wine (which disappeared after I gave it to them) and a bath of cookies my kids made for their cousins.

I DID offer to order or pick up food, I asked if there was anything there we could feed he kids. [/quote]

eh, honestly I can see both sides.  She was tired from the kiddie party planning/logistics, knew that you had driven a distance to attend the party and she probably wasn't thinking of "hosting" you after the party...she was just thinking "Oh, we should give the kids time to play together" so she invited you to come on over.

Do you think that she was deliberately being rude to you or do you think that maybe she was busy with a million things going on at the party and sort of invited you over spur of the moment?[/quote]

Well she invited us at the same time as inviting us to the party - "we hope you can come to the party and of course come over after so we cal all spend more time together". Plus the party was all done by the venue, there were about 5 kids other than family and other parents stayed. SIL/bil are definitely not the do it all themselves type, [b]they are really disorganized and messy[/b] but I've never been in a situation like yesterday. They are as I said before quite self-centered but I still don't get why they had no plans for even their own family to eat dinner. [/quote]

Congrats on being organized, you're obviously a much better person than your sister-in-law.
