In this situation, what was done was done, and I shouldn't have glared at dude the way I did with my kids there.

I dunno. She's a poor compass for assessing whether or not I'm overreacting to something, since she let's do many things just roll.

I'd *like* to keep cool in situations like that. What I see as her being walked on, she sees as not allowing others to negatively impact whatever it is she's doing.

I suppose I'm trying to look at where those lines should be drawn, and where they intersect.
