My parents are retired. Long story short, my daughter potentially ate something at daycare she could be allergic to (we’re having to watch for alpha gal syndrome). I didn’t think a reaction was likely, but I called my dad and asked if he’d mind picking her up before they laid down for a nap so he could watch her. He took her home and everything ended up fine. My mom was not at home for any of this, she got home probably just an hour or two before I did. So, after work, I went to pick her up. My mom was in a bad mood (she was tired/had a busy day, was upset about the daycare slip up) and pretty grouchy. Right before I left with my kids, she was trying to get me to text someone to find out timing information about going somewhere. I wouldn’t do it. I don’t know why, honestly it was just kind of the principle that she could’ve easily done it herself. She got mad and, as we were leaving, she spat at me “and you’re welcome for keeping your daughter all day.” This just flew all over me. First of all, she wasn’t even there, she didn’t keep my daughter any of the day. Secondly, it was just blatantly meant to be hurtful. She always does stuff like this, lashes out when she’s mad. I’ve had it. I haven’t talked to her in 3 days and won’t let my kids around her. I refuse to talk to her unless she apologizes and acknowledges that what she said was out of line. Am I overreacting? Should I just drop it and try to forget about it?
