    I would feel the same.

    If it were me I would go to the playgroup on my own after it had finished and speak to her.

    I would ask why she shouted after you like she did and what she meant by it.

    You may be able to clear the air which would be best for everyone in the long run.

    If not and she continues to be rude to you then your husband must speak out and do something about it.

    I think you sound rather petulant and childish. And I don't think it's wise to try and tell your husband where he can or cannot take your daughter. He's organised this playgroup for heaven's sake! I think you need to try and get over yourself before you do some real damage.

    He organised this playgroup because he believed there was value in it. And now you're doing everything you can to undermine him and humiliate him in front of a bunch of strangers. And making demands and threats instead of dealing with this woman on your own like a grown adult. And you think I'm the one who is being ridiculous? Honestly, if you can't see how appalingly you are behaving you need help.

    Uncalled for.
  • Well, whilst I wouldn't sit at home sulking about it or expect my OH to start kicking people off the committee when it's pretty difficult to find people who have the time and skills to do things like this, I wouldn't let it go without comment either.

    My inclination would be to go to the next session, stand face to face with her and calmly ask her what she hoped to achieve by behaving like that? If you don't have a car then you couldn't help in that way. If she had enough people to clean and pack up then that obviously wasn't the problem either. Whatever she hoped to achieve I would be pointing out that shouting snide and sarcastic comments at your back is not behaviour you want demonstrated by someone who has a position of trust and responsibility with your child and others.
    If you lend someone £20 and never see them again, it was probably £20 well spent...
