Dh is a sahd and has got into the habit of going to the park everyday after school with one mum in particular, and another who often, but not always, joins them. In fact, we are all quite friendly and see each other at weekends / holidays as well. Dh frequently has these women round for coffee in the mornings as well.
The mum who is often but not always there has two sons the same age as our 2 (3 &5). Apparantly, although the park is just a few minutes from school they don't always all walk together but leave when it suits them and then catch each other up on the way, or see each other in the park.
Dh says that today he left with the first mum and her dd and was vaguely aware that the second mum's dses were both ahead with our 2, he wasn't really aware of where this other mum was but this is usual as there can be a big crowd walking that way with the dc going on ahead etc
Suddenly, the second mum tore past dh and marched up to her dc and gave them a huge telling off. She then stomped back to dh and shouted, in front of others, "Can you stop them from leaving without me in future - don't just let thme go on!". She then marched off and did not go to the park, despite having persuaded dh and the other mum to go to the park that she prefers.
Basically, she is blamng dh for the fact that her dc left the school without her and, according to dh, it must have been a good 3/4 minutes before she even noticed. Dh is quite pissed off and says that if she apologises he will be fine with her, if she is normal but doesn't mention it he will be normal but probably think less of her and if she brings it up again in a way that shows she feels he's done something wrong, she will get a piece of his mind.
