This past weekend, my whole family attended my oldest son's wedding. I had previously told my oldest daughter that I would take my two year old granddaughter back to our adjoining hotel rooms after the dinner. My GD was dressed as a flower girl but fell asleep before the procession down the aisle..... My DD wasn't happy about that. At the reception, she'd had two glasses of white wine when her DH reminded her she shouldn't drink white wine as it has adverse effects on her attitude. She stormed out of the reception. When she back, she seemed to still be on edge. She was to tell me when I was to take GD back to our room. She didn't...... She took her crying child out of the reception without a word to anyone and went back on her own. The next morning, she made several backhanded comments about me to everyone.... How she'd missed the rest of the reception because I hadn't come through like I'd promised, she didn't have a chance to "dance her panties off", she'd had to walk back to the hotel alone, etc etc.
I am so hurt and a little angry at her for not acknowledging that she didn't even give me the opportunity to keep my word. My DH backs me as he is aware she said nothing to us. If I don't call her on her comments, she'll keep telling everyone that. She still brings up things that happened 25 years ago.... So it's not likely she'll forget this. She is also the same daughter that invited her dad and SM to my youngest daughter's elopement two years ago. Her SF and I were excluded..... That really broke my heart.
But, when they need/want to go anywhere, whether it be for work or pleasure, it's me, Gramma, who makes the 14 hour drive (each way) to look after my GD and their dog. If it wasn't for my sweet GD, who I love to pieces, I would probably not visit them or invite them to my home. My GD is sleeping beside me as I write this.... Her Mom allows me to keep her at my request and her convenience. AIBU to expect an apology?
