In a recent Care and Feeding column, a parent recounted a mishap involving their son Liam and a pet mouse named Stuart. While trying to create a hot air balloon for the mouse, the children unintentionally released Stuart into the sky, causing distress among the kids and their parents. The author grapples with the fallout of the incident, particularly from the sister-in-law, Jennifer, whose furious reaction results in a ban on Liam's future visits. The advice suggests giving Jennifer time to cool off and considering a thoughtful gesture for her child as a peace offering.
If your husband says this is Jennifer's normal response level, then it's probably just best to give her time to cool off.
You may want to consider a gift for Caleb to make amends (such as a gift certificate to a pet store) and you could also write a heartfelt note.
