It all started when I was planning my birthday party. My son and his fiance wanted me to hold off a week because they had a sitter set up for that night. So, I thought cool I'll just make the party adults only. So, I told my youngest daughter who has five children and she was bummed because she couldn't get a sitter but she understood. Then the day before the party my son calls and says that one of their daughters didn't want to go to the sitter and asked if they could bring her to the party. I was a little peeved because I held off having the party for them and because they had a sitter I had told everyone it was adults only. So, I told them no, that I had already told people it was no kids and it wouldn't be fair if they brought their daughter. My son told me that he might come and leave his fiance with the kids but he had some kind of rash and he didn't want to infect anyone with what ever it was. The night of my party it was storming and raining cats and dogs so, no one showed up. I was kind of depressed so hubby said lets load up all the food and go to our youngest daughter's house. She was the one who was bummed about not getting to come to the party. Well, my son's fiance is now angry because we went to my youngest daughter's house instead of my son's house. But my son had this weird rash and I didn't want to catch what ever it was. She even cussed me out on Facebook for all my friends to see. I don't understand why she is mad since I believe I did nothing wrong. So, I ask what would you do if you were in that situation?

She was probably stressed over a few factors. Nothing you did I'm sure. But, having the sitter issue and everything, your son having health problems as well as the fact she could've just been in a bad mood in general. Unless you ask her (after she's had a chance to calm down), there is a good chance you'll never know what was bothering her. But, who knows.

Well according to what she said when she cussed me out on Facebook she was mad because I said no kids and then I went to my daughter's house, who has five kids, instead of telling them they could go ahead and come over. I've explained to my son the reason I didn't go to their house but apparently I am still at fault somehow.

if she doesn't want to talk on the phone, then send her an email telling her that YOU set up the party for adults only since THEY asked you to wait a week so they could have a sitter. since the weather was bad and NO ONE showed up, going to your daughter's place (who was the only one bummed about not getting a babysitter) and that your son was concerned about having a health condition that could be contagious.
