Too often people come in just before the event (and quite often after the event has started) and close in on this prime position that has been patiently guarded for hours beforehand. If there is plenty of room around then there isn't a problem with late comers, however if the "plenty of room" happens to include someone elses blanket then of course there is bound to be some hostility! Other peoples blankets and chairs are definitely a no go zone unless you have asked politeley and been given permission to use them. I imagine the mother was venting her frustration at you because you were the closest of the invaders.
