A parent of one of my students told admin she thinks it's irresponsible that I won't be grading over Christmas break.

Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not.
