[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hugs OP- I don't know why you are getting a hard time here.  But I do suggest having your husband tell them next time.

You did nothing wrong, now get off DCUM and avoid reading what these people have to say.

AND ONE MORE TIME, OP SAID 4PM WAS OK TO ARRIVE.  IT ISN'T DARK AT 4 PM.  MY GOD LEARN TO READ[/quote]

OP is getting a hard time here because emotionally abusive people don’t limit their abuse to in-person interactions.  They need to abuse OP to justify their own bad behavior with their own family.[/quote]

Oh for heaven's sake, MIL is not emotionally abusive because she made a snide comment about not being able to come earlier like they have every other time. It was obnoxious but let's not elevate every instance of a family member being ungracious or unkind to abuse.

OP, it's fine to be annoyed at this comment but just brush it off. She thinks you're being silly because family should be no pressure, you think hosting always comes with some pressure and it can't be 24/7, the goal here is that she sticks to the boundary. She's not in charge of your feelings. Let DH handle the next conversation about it so you don't have to deal.[/quote]
I didn’t say the MIL was emotionally abusive, I was referring to certain posters here.[/quote]
