Dropped D9 and D5 off at first day of school. Both were a little nervous but super cute. W came by to pick up D2 and drop her off at daycare and then meet us at school. D5's first day at Kinder and they did like a 1-hr thing with orientation where the parents stayed with them to help them acclimate. We were asked to do a drawing assignment for our kids and enter parent info into computer. I went to enter parent information into computer (10-15 secs), and when I got back W was all bent out of shape that I had "run off" and "left her" to do the assignment "all by herself" that she was bad at art and I had just left her to do it. She was getting all angry and accusatory at me, saying I wasn't doing any of it, etc. I said I was not responsible for her feelings of discomfort. She kept escalating. I calmly told her that I was happy to participate in the art project, that I felt disrespected by the way she was speaking to me, and that I wanted her to stop speaking to me that way. She told me angrily that I had disrespected her for the last 2 years. I told her I understood that she was angry and hurt, and that I was sorry for hurting her. In a much calmer voice, she told me she was still working on it. Rest of orientation she was civil and more friendly and cooperative.
Did I handle this right???
