So I'm staying with in laws for a couple of weeks.
I did some washing and accidentally put a wool jumper in with the general load at 40. It shrunk. I left it on the side in the laundry room to dry and then assess the damage.
Today mother in law comes up to me, holding just the jumper and goes:
' what happened here ?you must have washed this wrong. You need to wash it on a wool setting '
I reply :
' I know. I just didn't see it and put it in with other stuff at 30. That's a shame, oh well'
She says again : ' yeah but you can't wash it at 30, you can only wash it on a wool setting '. I again replied that I know that but I didn't see it and oh well.
To which she goes: ' well this is a hundred pound jumper '. It's her sons jumper, not hers...
So I just went, well what do you want me to do ?
Back story is that it has happened to me before that I've accidentally shrunk a jumper and it's come up as a joke in front of her before. Even so, am I right that I don't deserve to be scolded by her over this ? It's my money and my stuff. So what if I occasionally make a mistake.
I'm so angry, I can't look at her.
