Amanda, Gary's niece called today to pick up the last of her things and I was out so missed her. She rang all happy this evening and said that she'd send down some money she owed me and of course I couldn't keep my trap shut and let Gary deal with it through her step mother and blurted out that 10 euro from Sorcha's money was missing. She took it, I know she took it, she's always taking money, she has a problem. I then handed Gary the phone and said to talk to him. I make a balls of it, she was ringing to thank us and I fucked that up. Gary and I had a screaming row after, so much so that it frightened the kids. Gary has NEVER lost his temper like he did tonight. I couldn't speak to him for hours after. He apologised and I couldn't accept it. At least not until about an hour ago. My stomach is churning now. I feel like a total bitch for flooring Amanda like that on the phone. Of course, Gary was supposed to ring her step mother on Sunday, then on Monday, blah, blah and he didn't. That's why I handed him the phone, to deal with the money going missing issue once and for all. It was the wrong time to say anything.

I'm rambling...

I feel like a big bag of shit...

Poor you hope things are better today... I would of been the same

Ok hands up anyone here who hasn't opened their mouths and put their foot in it?

No-one Noeleen! we've all done it, and you feel like sh*t

She stole from you and the kids and outstayed her welcome. It was always gonna come out, one way or the other, and people were going to fall out

Amanda put you in that position

your trying to raise a family and make ends meet, when you opened your home to her.

I hope her conscience is giving her a dig in the ribs right now.

We all have rows, I've had some humdingers

but Gar's apologised, he's not gonna hold a grudge, and you's made up

she's gone, please don't beat yourself up about it

at least it's off your chest now

(((xxx)))

yeh right!! my brain disengages when me mouth opens!

Oh hun, dont feel so bad. Gary was meant to deal with it but for whatever reason didnt, and you were angry and upset that she'd stolen from your daughter. I'd have done the same. Ringing to thank you is all well and good, and good on her for doing so, but if she hadnt done the things she did, you could have accepted her thanks with nothing else to bring up. I hope some of whatever you said will stay with her and remind her not to treat peoples genourosity the way she did yours in future. xxx

Hope you feel better about things today noe...we all say and do things we regret afterwards. To be honest, she had it coming to her, whether you chose the right time or not, doesn't matter, things obviously needed saying.

Dont worry about it hon! At least you got it out. I still wish I had of said something to my younger sil when she stole money from my first ones piggy bank when she wasnt even a year old. It still makes me made when I think someone would steal from a kid!

Rows we have had rows .....afraid we all do................

shes gone now hun so you can get to some kind of normality.....but dont beat yourself over it you were angry at the time and frankly i dont blame you and if you had stayed on the phone you would of said a lot more im afraid i would of passed the to him as well.................

things can start to get better now ...................as for hubbys well we all argue with them................
