I have a problem, dear readers. A relative of mine who I’ve written about before has struck again. This time in the form of sticky fingers. She stole my husband’s MP3 player. It wasn’t an I-pod, so it wasn’t outrageously expensive, but that’s not the point. The point is that her mother knew the child had an electronic device she didn’t purchase herself. So, she took the MP3 player from the child & “put it away” instead of trying to find out who it belongs to. This was only yesterday that we found out. My daughter saw it and told us that it was intact. Yet, once we tried to reclaim it today, it is mysteriously broken.
My husband is so non-confrontational. He’s not saying what he wants to do about it. So, you know what, I’m not saying anything either because I always come out the bad guy. The point of this post?
I’d like to know what you, my dear readers, would do? Would you ask that said family cough up the MP3 player or pay for it? Or would you just let it go?
I swear. You try to “fix” the kid & then you have to deal with the parent. What is this world coming to?
