Thank you for your genuine empathy. Are you speaking from experience?
I did get to spend time with them, and we had a very nice party. My SIL didn't talk to me the entire time. But I did appologize to my daughter, and to him just before we left. I also intend to emal the MIL and appologize to her, because she just sort of got caught in the middle. I don't want there to be bad relations with my SIL.
I felt bad that they went home, because my daughter had put a lot of work into the house and the party, but it was still a good party even if they were not there, or maybe because they were not there.
I would haved sucked it up and moved on. My daughter did not deserve to be punished, and I probably would not have even mentioned it to anyone until after the party, so as not to interefere with the party spirit. But then I'm pretty tough.
