No, she hadn't. I had no idea.

She's,since called me again to look after the kids...yes, of course. I love the kids, I'll do it.

I apologised to her for upsetting her - I didn't know, if I had known I would have sorted something else out etc. I truly hadn't meant to cause her distress, so I chose to be the adult about it.

She blew up at me again. Continues to be mad at me for the whole thing. I still have no idea why I'm the proxy

    Yeah, proxy means that there's no rational resolution possible. Next time, I wouldn't apologise - she needs to be called out for being aggro to you when you WEREN'T the problem. Yell back - about blaming the victim of her lack of info sharing. This isn't childish - it's confronting a bully. And we know what happens when you cave to a bully.

    Did you tell her who she should be mad at?

    and is she mad at you or mad at life

    I know sometimes i get annoyed so I have an annoyed tone, and I know it's not anyone's fault, it's just the way things are
