[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, her reaction was crazy and over the top but try giving her the benefit of the doubt (until you see whether it’s a pattern); maybe she was having a bad day or was really tired and handling it badly, or whatever, who knows.  I would try to be pleasant by approaching her and commiserating about the hassle of bringing out a canopy when it wasn’t needed and apologizing for the miscommunication (yes, I know you did nothing wrong, but it’s an olive branch).  I would offer to let her be the backup and you be the primary (emphasize you mean only if she wants to do this) because your husband doesn’t mind bringing it from the car. If she’s still a bitch, then move on, really, who cares.  [/quote]

This. You never know what people are going through. I've had work colleagues and other parents snap at me or be rude and later I find out something terrible has happened in their lives -- relative died or got diagnosed with a serious medical issue, spouse cheated, news of a financial problem. Be the good person in this scenario. Email her and apologize for the miscommunication. Suggest you set up a schedule or offer your husband to help carry the thing. Once I had a mom look like she was about to cry after dragging something very heavy to a game. I was confused by her reaction, but it turns out her husband is a good-for-nothing lazy jerk and all the other husbands were the ones carrying the equipment for the other boys. It was more of an emotional reaction, and she was a little thing.
