[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think "It's fine. We'll do without." is a pretty rude response after someone just told you they didn't get a note because their kid missed 2 weeks of school due to COVID. The correct response is "Oh, I'm so sorry to hear she's been sick. I didn't know. Hope everyone is well now!"

Personally, OP, I would have added that my DC had been hospitalized and NOT offered to run and get the stuff. Because, perspective.[/quote]

My thoughts exactly. Any reasonable human would say “oh goodness! Didn’t realize. Hope you all are feeling better. Ignore my text and excited to have Layla back!” Agree that hand-written notes to assign duties are a recipe for failure. OP, do something nice for yourself and ignore the room mom. She’s disorganized and rude.[/quote]

I agree. It takes zero extra time to be kind when the request for party supplies was missed due to a child’s hospitalization (!!). Don’t be a room mom if you’re a self-righteous jerk.[/quote]

She didn’t say hospitalized.  She said “rough time with Covid,” which I have used to mean stir crazy from quarantine, so that might be how the room mom took it. OP can’t expect sympathy for hospital visits the room mom doesn’t know about!  [/quote]

No, I'm willing to bet room mom knew all about it if their kids are in the same class.  News travels.  OP, don't let these people tell you you overreacted.  "We'll do without" is about as snarky as it gets.  I would have reacted the same.  Don't let it ruin your day and I hope your DD is feeling much better.[/quote]
