[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I guess I am in the wrong. She called me back and cancelled.

My kid has a medical condition that means she has to have access to a balanced snack. I prioritized my daughter's health over the plan made so that I could dash into a grocery store to grab something.

If being 15 minutes late to do this is outrageous, I'm glad that I know it now.

You're funny.

You left out the most important part of the story on this thread, so I'm assuming you left it out of your call to the other mom. Instead of saying, essentially, "my daughter already scarfed down all her snacks, so you're going to have to wait for us so I can buy more," you could have said "hey, I am so sorry about this, but my daughter has a medical condition and has to have certain food at certain times of the day, and she went and ate them all at once! I really have to stop at the store for a minute. Will you still be there in 15 minutes!?"

The other mom sounds weird with the "whatever." I'd only say that, and/or cancel, to somebody who repeatedly gives me the shaft (do you do that?). But still, nobody will have any understanding if you're late because your child ate all her snacks already. But they might be more understanding if you explain the situation humbly. [/quote]
