An come on, you're always letting us know just how well off you are.

I think you mentioned something about one of the brothers not being very well off, the ones who ended up with the toy. Im assuming thats where the reference to broke came from.

£1000 pram and spending £1600 on laser hair removal on your legs being two of the posts I read from you tonight and you don't think a family which you say could not afford £80 to replace your Tens machine wouldn't regard you as wealthy

If you didn't keep contradicting yourself every time someone posted something you don't like the. You wouldn't need to recommend comprehension exercises to anyone by the way. If you kept your heirloom cot and your thousand pound pram and didn't give anything "precious" away and your clothes were second hand where is the blimmin expensive stuff you are referring to coming from?

I don't begrudge their child the toy. I don't want it back after they've done with it as I expect it to be in a right state. I would have liked to have been asked/told it had gone to them before falling over it in their house.

I do begrudge them keeping and losing/misplacing my TENS machine - loaned directly to them. I find it a brilliant pain reliever and have struggled without it on occasion in the past 7 months.

When I mentioned in a previous post about something similar happening to me, the item concerned wasn't a £100 toy, it was a car and whilst not worth £1000s it would have been worth more than the toy under discussion.

Yes I was annoyed BUT I chose to look at the bigger picture, had to decide whether that car worth more than the potential family rift.

OH knew I was annoyed but it was up to him to say something and tbh at the time he had bigger issues to deal with.

This is what you have to decide OP - is the stuff you lent worth a family rift?

Hilarious!

I am home. I do work.

!!!!!! does Santa have to do with this? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Home to your parents, who could help you look after your daughter as it seems from your posts that it is quite a strain when you have to do it single handedly whilst your partner works away.

Then you could go back to your highly paid career.

The Santa tale is yet another thing that seems to irk you. There do seem to be a lot of things that are not as you would wish them to be in your life. So, rather than post on the net about them cut them out root and branch, the root seems to be your partner.

I hope I am not being too blunt but as an impartial reader of your threads that is how it appears to me. You are not happy with your lot, so make radical changes.

Not that it's really any of your business, but £1600 IPL 7 YEARS ago when I was living in London and earning £60k+ per year. Could easily have spent more on a fortnight away (incidentally we had 1 holiday in 5 years).

My parents bought the (£800) pram. They were living and working (tax free) in the UAE at the time and wanted to spoil their first grandchild. As it happened she had every nap in it for the first 18 months and we used it every day for over 2.5 years, long after others were moving onto second and third prams/pushchairs.

So shes to leave her husband and move back in with her parents and go back to work full time and all will be well yes?

And why not post on the net about things that are troubling her? People do it every single day on these forums. None of us need to read or respond if we dont care for the subject matter.

Sometimes people just want a bit of a sound off and thats it done.
And if its not done and the threads keep coming well maybe its just a longer period of time that things are challenging them for, doesnt mean they need to uproot themselves and divorce their partner.

Or I think the divorce rate would be through the roof:rotfl:

It would never occur to me that somebody would be ok with one set of nephews/nieces having use of a toy but not a second set from the same side of the family.

You are massively missing the point which is how your in laws will perceive you not how you paid for what and what it was used for. I couldn't care less how much you earn or earned or who paid for what. Am just commenting on the ructions you will cause if you decide to grab your baby equipment back from family who are still using it when you have no current need for it is all.
