BM is super pissed at me, but I really didn't mean any harm!

Sd came over on Saturday and asked her dad if she could have money to buy a dress for a sports banquet. She runs cross country and won state this year, so the whole thing is kind of in her honor. She said her mom had to work and couldn't take her shopping. I told her if she wanted me to, I would go shopping with her for a dress. Just a nice little outing, just us girls.
This morning, bm calls me, ranting and raving about how it wasn't my place to take her daughter to do something special like that. I tried to explain that sd said she wasn't able to take her and I was sorry if I intruded on something. She wasn't having it and told me she doesn't want me going alone with her daughter anywhere ever again.
I'm really confused. I mean, if she had planned on taking sd herself it would be another story...but sd was going alone anyway. Am I missing something here?
no sounds like pms over blown. don't let it get to you. I think she is overreacting. I would love it if my childs step mom did that for my kid as long as it wasn't all the time to make me feel like your better than me.
She couldn't do it, but she didn't want anyone else to do it either. She'll calm down. You also obviously don't have to listen to her about not going anywhere with her daughter again.
I think the BM came to the realization that she wasn't there for her DD when she needed her. Her anger was directed at you because she was angry at herself. Hopefully once she cools down she will come to this conclusion and things will be okay again. BTW it was nice of you to take your SD shopping and helping her make a decision on a dress.
She had no right to call and jump your case, you were doing it to be nice.
It sounds like she's jealous that you got to enjoy that moment with her daughter because she was stuck at work. Rather then accepting it, she's taking her anger/jealousy out on you. Let it go and ignore her. I'm sure SD enjoyed it and was happy to have someone with her.
she is stupid... let it go ... you where there when she wasnt able and if the kid was going on her own then why not join her,... dont feel to bad, you where not doing to be mean or step on her toes, and after so many years... if it was me i would have said thanks
what to do when the special needs kid is the bully?
Have you ever kept a secret from your spouse?
