My daughter in law is mad at me for not calling her in the week before my grandson's birthday party at the park. She planned it to be just cake and gifts. I had told her weeks before the party I would bring some food, and brought a lot of good things to eat. She is mad at me because I didn't call her in the week before the party. I called her the Monday before and she said she was just going out the door and would have to talk to me later. She didn't call me back all week either. Does anyone out there feel sorry for me to have my nice son married to a ***** or what? And should I send her a "i'm sorry" card so I will get to see my grandson.

It is soooo hard to please daughter-in-laws because NO matter what you do or how you do it it isn't right. They will pick you apart no matter how nice you are. I know daughter-in-laws out there will not like this answer but it's the truth especially in my case.
It is so interesting to see these answers, more or less to just let it go and suck it up. If this question was coming FROM a daughter-in-law about a mother-in-law they would be totally different. It would be all about bashing the mother-in-law and telling her to butt out and blah, blah, blah. I think by finding fault, imagined or not, in the mother-in-law makes them feel superior.
You did what you could and then some. Just TRY and move on and forget about it. And to answer your question, YES I feel sorry for you.

Calling your daughter in law names will not help the situation. You should tell her you are sorry for whatever you did to make her mad at you. You two should not be fighting over silly things like this. Life is to short to be fighting about stupid stuff like this.

It is a huge mistake to offend your daughter in law. You should try to cooperate with her and to be friendly with her. You mustn't behave as you are her enemy or her master. She has no obligation to you. Show her respect and kindness. You'll see that she will do the same to you. And you should do this for your son's and your grandson's happiness, and for your own happiness. It's not a solution if you treat her like nothing. You will suffer later if you disconsider her. So, watch out!!!

sorry no. sad that you fight or that you and her make a big deal out of nothing. You both are looking for reasons not to like or to pick a fight with each other. Why?? what is the real reason you all choose not to get along. Struggle for power is such a waste of time and energy pick your battles. this in not one of them, let it go say nothing do nothing,

Just apologize and suck it up. You are older, and should be the bigger person. After all it is your son's happiness you are most concerned for.
Just tell her that after you called her, you thought that she would have called you back if she needed anything.
