I love my folks, but they never drop a grudge, and after watching them hate on my boyfriends for trivia I'd long since forgotten for a decade, I figured it wasn't worth the venting and started myself a journal ....
I NEVER tell my parents any issues that I ever have with DH. However, in this situation, it seems almost inevitable that her mother find out. She had to call her mom to tell her that she missed her flight and could not come for a few days. I am sure her mom asked how/why did you miss your flight, then she probably said she took public transportation which took longer than expected. Then her mom, I would think, asked WHY did you take public trans. WHY didn't your FI take you!!!???? I think the only way of getting out of having her mother find out is lying. Should someone have to lie about why their fiance refused to take her to the airport? I don't think so. That is up to her though. I suppose she could have refused to answer any of her mother's questions, but that seems really rude and suspicious.
Oh, true, and I'm not faulting Slg for not lying - just saying that dramatic parents (why did I just flash on Dramatic Hamster?) need to be managed. It's more future-advice than castigation. If it was me in that situation, I would have been insisting up, down, and sideways that as a grown woman, it was on ME, and I'd WANTED to take public transportation for whatever reason, just because I know that while I might catch hell for a bit under those circumstances, I'd NEVER hear the end of it if it was SO-related ....
