I hope it wasn't taken as rude...

Nana dropping off dcg this morning. Pulls in my driveway and parks behind my husband as he's about to walk out the door to bring my daughter to school, she would be just on time for school. Nana's drop offs are sometimes lengthy, with multiple kisses and hugs, etc. I met her at the door and said "I'll take dcg, my husband is about to leave." She says oh ok, kisses dcg, says I love you and leaves.

I hope I didn't come across as rude, I was smiley and made sure dcg waved and blew kisses. I knew if Nana came in it would be drawn out and my daughter would be late for school

I don't think that was rude at all.

Not rude at all! Just stating facts! My dcps aren't allowed to park behind my dh, at all. He is in/out all the time, and after being blocked in a few times, we just made it a 'rule'.

I don't think it was rude either .

I don't find it rude at all, but then again I am a child care provider and fully understands what it means to juggle multiple schedules for multiple people and sometimes stuff is said or done just because it needs to be ...kwim?

I would think that grandma understands IF she knew why you met her at the door and that DH was scrambling to get DD to school on time.

I wouldn't stress about it, but if it bothers you or you feel as though grandma "might" have perceived it as rude, shoot her or the child's parent a quick text stating you weren't meaning to come across rude but that DH was needing to leave right then....

Sometimes that little follow up makes a big difference.

I know I was rude this morning..., & I don't really care. DCD drops off toddler & says, "XXX got up this morning & was happy, singing & having a great time until we pulled up here." I replied, "Probably because it's the only place he has to behave."

Thanks guys! She saw my husband and daughter walking out, so she probably understood. I think I'll send a quick text anyway.

I may make a no parking in the driveway rule as well, my husband comes and goes sometimes and he doesn't like dcp's cars in the driveway

I had one mom one time say "I was hoping your husband wasn't here so I could pull up right to the stairs it's much easier". He over heard and said later (to me) "Was she serious? Now I can't park in my own driveway so she doesn't have to walk 5 extra feet?"

TGIF!

...and what exactly is the point if making such a rude comment to you?

Wonder what he was expecting you to say in return??

People NEVER cease to amaze me :confused:

Who knows.., He is so self absorbed I want to hurl. I should have said, "Maybe you should have taken a personal day so you can sings songs together all day long!"

Sometimes I think parents say things to make themselves feel better but at the same time they are being insulting. It makes him feel good that dcb wants to with him, but to insult you at the same time, ugh!

See...I am sorry, but the FIRST time a comment like this was made, my reply would be, "Oh, sorry he feels that way. You should probably find a place where he feels more comfortable. Good luck! Here are his things. Bye!"
