Would this piss you off or am i being a bit princess'ey

Its half term and we had arranged to go for lunch with my mother. Its just DD and I and this was a cheap mid week treat as the half term has been spend doing a lot of chores/ things that needed doing.

Mum was meant to pick us up at 12:30... we went out earlier to get a few errands done so we would be back in time. At 11am she calls to say she doesnt want to come anymore that shes busy in the garden and would we mind if she didnt. DD is 7 and had been really looking forward to it she visibly sank and i said we would still go but DD said it wasnt the same and kept saying how sad she was about it.

Off we went. just got out food and mum called again to say if we waited an hour she could come. It was already 12:45 at this point and we were at the table already but said we would pick up some cake and bring it round to eat with her and she said that would be nice.

we get to hers and theres no answer. Rang the doorbell several times, knocked on the back gate, shouted... nothing. Didnt have my phone on me . left her cake in the porch. DD was more upset and i was cross.

Got home and then had calls from her asking where we were..... she said she was there the whole time. rather than saying sorry she blamed me... said it was pathetic that DD was upset... how its my fault shes in her garden as last year she had helped me move house how out or order i am... etc etc......

so - verdict?

in that case, in answer to your original question I would be pissed off.

Then it's absolutely not your fault.
Yeah...she sounds a bit like my mum in that respect. I never knew my mum apologise to anyone, or admit to being wrong about anything in my entire life. She was very stubborn indeed.

Absolutely not your fault. I'm not surprised you're upset.

Sorry but your mother sounds perfectly vile. I think she was deliberately ignoring you as she was already pissed off and looking for further excuse. Take your daughter with you tomorrow. Plenty of toys, sweets and books. You'll only be a door or two away if she needs you urgently.

How unfair of her!! Of course your Dd is upset about it, most children would be! It's really sad that she has treated you both this way and isn't in the least apologetic.....especially after she mucked you about all morning and you had to do all sorts of juggling to accomodate her.
