FIB is it possible that you could have called w before leaving and inviting her to the Dr appt. In her mind she feels purposely left out as if she doesn't exist.
Of course she is going to rant in front of the children. She knows that will get your attention.
In her mind if she was making dinner, why bother he just excluded me when my own child was ill.
In her mind a D is exactly that taking her children from her.
In her mind you are driving the D, not her and yes all of things are making her mad.
Could you expect anything less?
Ok should I duck and cover?
