MIL / shoes in the house

We were staying at in laws for a few days. All decided to go out on a walk with the kiddies , pram etc. As FIL was locking the front door, a dc realised they forgot something I asked to go back in nipped in to get it without taking my shoes off. I realise after I should have taken my shoes off (all laminate floors and clean enough shoes, not muddy) but I completely didn’t think at the time.
When I came out the house , MIl was hyperventilating. I asked what’s up and was told to “leave it” and FIL told MIL something like “don’t worry it’ll be ok” and she calmed down and we all went for a walk. I didn’t connect that to me going back in. Few days later when we were home I remembered MIL hyperventilating and asked DH what happened and he said it was because I went in the house without taking shoes off. I feel terrible. DH tells me to not bother. Should I just leave it or ring her and apologise?

The ship has long since sailed.

Why are you even thinking about it three days later?

Op you need some professional support if this has genuinely left you in a tizz, and it happened days ago

If she’d take a quick apology and move on then do it. If she’ll be hard work and dramatic about it don’t bother.
