Last Saturday me 29F and my husband 28M left our kids 15M, 13M and 7M with my MIL whilst we attended a friends wedding. However, during the reception I received a panicked call from my eldest son saying that my middle son had collapsed and they were currently in the hospital. I quickly notified my husband and we left immediately (my husband was talking to the groom so the couple knew). The wedding was 2 hours away from our hometown so obviously it took us a while to get there. When we arrived at the hospital we tried to enter our son’s room, to which my MIL, who had been sitting outside stood up and used her body to physically block us from getting in his room. I asked her what she was doing and she said that we had ‘taken too long to get there’ and it ‘really goes to show how much we care about our son’ I told her the wedding was two hours away and we had gotten there as fast as possible. She told me i was just making excuses and we were both irresponsible parents, me and my husband kept telling her to move, but she wouldn’t budge. Eventually I got frustrated and yelled at her, telling her to move. She looked very offended and literally just left the hospital. My sons all think it was hilarious and my parents and husband are on my side, but I’ve received multiple calls from my husband’s side of the family calling me an AH and saying I really upset MIL and had made her cry when she was just trying to protect my kids. I thought I was in the right but I was extremely worried and frustrated so maybe I wasn’t thinking straight?

What do you guys think AITA?
