While she is in her WAW state of mind, you cannot depend on her. You were expecting the old wife & mother to show up b/c this was a holiday. See you mistake? Even though she said she would take the kids out......always have a back-up plan for the kids. Not for her sake, but for the kids.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
