Parent accusations

[Spixie33]

I would say something like "I know Halloween can be hectic and stressful but what came up yesterday about the costume concerned me. It felt like you were accusing me of something and questioning my honesty and that troubles me. I would never take Sally out bare legged in October and I was somewhat shocked that you would think that. I was quite upset by the tone of that phonecall.

I think it is important to say something so they know that it was not appropriate but try to also acknowledge they might have just been frazzled coming from work, finding part of the costume lost etc so that the communication doesn't get nasty. Maybe they are now to embarrassed to fess up that the mistake was on their end.

I feel bad that you had to get accused like that. Yikes !!
