Sounds like you handled it fine, especially in not badgering her about her choice of place to sit.

You don't know that she was feeling or why she chose to sit where she did. I've been at family gatherings where I would have preferred to sit with the kids. They can be more fun.

The thing is, you respected her choice.

Thanks labug. I know it was her choice, just like not doing anything for her 50th was her choice and I honored that too.

Have this nagging suspicion though that at some point it will come back to bite me or be used against me though. Although as others here have said, during these times it doesn't matter what the LBS does - in many cases the WAS can use either response to rationalize their actions.

The vibe at the TGiving dinner decision seemed to be more about getting some sort of attention or trying to make a point. But either way, it was W choice and I honored that.....

No fun though - arghh!!!!
