[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While they were very rude to proceed with booking a weekend you said was bad--inexcusably so--OP was rude for not getting back to them within 24-48 hours.

It takes no longer than 48 hours, TOPS, to look at your calendar (which should be up to date; hello, it's the digital age), and propose a few sets of dates for your spouse to confirm. This can all happen within a few hours, and there's really no excuse why you can't get it done in a timely manner.

I bet if  your boss asked you about dates, you'd have an answer faster. If you CAN get it done for your boss, you CAN get it done for your family; who should be more important to you than your boss. [/quote]
You have no idea why it took her so long maybe they were work plans plans ,  plans with other people, things that were still up in the air,  there are lots of reasons why you do not get back to somebody within 24 to 48 hours and I know good and well that my mother nor my mother-in-law would make plans in that way if I had not gotten back to them in two days they may react reach out again and say do you have a date or not but they wouldn’t do that and your bullshit about how your family is more important then your boss,  go sit somewhere,  just go in a corner and hide.[/quote]

Oh, see, I love and respect my family. My family comes first, to me. This isn't forced or demanded; but I feel and believe that family should get the very best of me, not what's left over after work and everyday life.

Anyway, at the very least, I'd be calling or texting to check in: "Sorry, I'm still working on getting you dates--there is a possibility that I'll be going to Boston for a work conference, so I need to firm that up. I'll be in touch with an update tomorrow."[/quote]
Your holier than thou, people have to as I do or they are not loving attitude is arrogant, stupid and shows zero understanding of differing personalities and communication styles,   And family dynamics . You think you are better than, But you come off as immature and ridiculous.[/quote]

I'm sorry your family dynamics are such that your boss is more important to you than your family, but for many of us, that's not the case. I think you are the outlier, and should recognize your perspective as such.

My family gets the best of me, not what's leftover from work and daily life. If that's not true for you, great. [/quote[/quote]
