that dp is making out?
christmas at ILS; usually find MIL if midly annoying / bossy, she was much worse than i remember ever (last time on holiay fortnight in July but SIL & BIL topped the richter scale then) have known them 17 odd years always ok ish.
She nagged FIL all the time it seemed; frosty w/ me quite few times and ds asking for my mum didnt help; i escaped w/ DP one night for 2 hours to cousins house, on the last night she invited us again and i choose to go...frosty reception in morning from everyone apart from FIL..i know it was un pc but jumped at chance for breather and she is laugh, we get on..they dont like her or see her two girls much and they are lovely family...
one leaving probs w/ car, reloaded car seat in other car, kerfuffle etc i approached her in kitchen, twice at car, to say thanks etc..but busy, maybe never heard me, dont know, got in car, strapped in ds then did my own belt, then saw her said bye in window.
dp major cob on, i snubbed her, what a mess, etc..intend to call and see what she thinks and just say didnt want to miss train, we did miss connection!, and thanks etc...
but she was frosty, uber annoying but sort of thinks reasonable relationship can sort this out.
I am up there with saddam according to dp for not enforcing kiss and proper goodbye in person and now not beginning to give a rats ass...

i read your post three times and am still not sure what exactly you've done wrong.

suzycreamcheese · 31/12/2006 14:10

er, probably am rambling - didnt give kiss, goodbye in person at car before departure; they were faffing, did try to approach twice but he didnt see this...
he says this is major snub
sorry if not clear..major stress i could do without...

I think ignore and let whole thing blow over.
Act mildly contrite and time will heal.
You could suggest you make it up to MIL when you next see her, but don't go into details.

Sounds like a storm in a tea cup. Did she say anything to him to wind him up or is he being oversensitive ? Make a point of thanking her again when you/she next calls.

suzycreamcheese · 31/12/2006 14:22

was going to call, thank her say didnt get chance, dont want to fall out; dp finds them annoying too but it can wind me up and its just crap but am getting greif over it now big time and just want to enjoy rest of time off...

Call them, say sorry you didn't mangae to say goodbye properly blah blah blah

BTW i had this once, frostiness lasted approx 3 months!! I DID say goodbye, but didn't kiss and I can't remember why.
