I think TMC is right in his stance though. As he said, he could have taken his mom to the airport and still had a nice time in DC/Blacksburg with his wife. She's just having one of those silly women moments where they blow the tiniest ish out of proportion.

Does his mom ask him for things constantly? Taking someone to the airport is once in a blue moon thing. He can either take them to the airport or he can't. If he already has plans with his wife then he should tell his parents I have plans. At the end of the day it's only a few hours and unless you planned to go out of town or on a road trip it's nothing to get worked up about. Certainly not the kind of thing you get pissed off about for 2 days.

You can play peacemaker all you want but this is an issue that's going to come up time and again and she needs to be set straight...in the nicest possible way of course.


My wife comes first but that doesn't mean my parents come second all the time. A wife and a husband are suppose to understand that about their respective in-laws to make their relationship work.
