[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 752163, member: 24254"] There is a lot here, isn't there? Lots of crossed boundaries, expectations, resentments. Why mention that your daughter "had all day to get balloons filled?". A simple "no" to her question leaves the responsibility where it belongs - with her. Nothing needs to be said. Acceptance can go a long way in protecting our serenity. Why be upset she was late? Why "should she be the first one there?" . And why confront her with that when she gets there obviously frustrated and obviously trying to do the right thing about the balloons? And that is reason to kick her out? I see a lot of hostility and anger. What about enjoying the moment no matter what happens, tending to the guests who were there already, trying to see where I could be of service, how I could reflect God's love and forgiveness back to others including your daughter ?
