Relative of mine has had a bit of a fall out with a friend and was feeling a bit down so I popped by to have a coffee with her and take her mind off things distracting her with all the nice plans she has coming up, nights out etc when all of a sudden she starts tearing into me asking how on earth myself and my husband can afford to go on holiday with our kids as she can't manage it and she works so hard.
Bearing in mind she has known we are taking our two children away in august for some time now and we have saved long and hard for this with husband doing overtime most weekends. She is getting at me as I work two days per week as our daughter is disabled and needs alot of care.
I am really upset this relative has just turned on me and I was desperate to point out that she would be able to afford a holiday if she didn't constantly eat out or brag about buying new clothes all of the time but I would have just come away from the situation feeling even worse.
My question is...how on earth do I be with her now? I'm so annoyed.
I wish I'd never tried to cheer her up
