Why do I do everything wrong?

[anxiousatnight]

I'll give you an example.

I had a car accident on Friday. No one's fault as such, just wrong time wrong place sort of thing. I contacted my insurers on Friday evening and went through all the process. All sorted. Still waiting for my car to be recovered, so called my insurers today. No history of a claim on my policy. I'd called one of those accident management companies instead. I'd googled the number and called the wrong company and not realised.

I've sorted it all out now, but I'm just always doing things like this. Why can't I just do something and do it right?

I'm a SAHM to a 5 and 3 year old. 5 year old is in school full time and 3 year old is in preschool three days a week, so it's not like I'm overwhelmed. I'm just a bit useless.

What's wrong with me? Anyone else like this?

@AlisonDonut I have to get him to email the company I wrongly instructed because the car is registered in his name and the insurance policy is in his name (I'm a named driver on the policy). They need an email from his email address to confirm the cancellation. So I think I have to fess up.

Ok, look- come clean and explain you were a little shaken by your accident.
Those "accident management" companies are leeches. They'll probably harrass you know despite jumping through hoops to cancel.

They couldn't proceed without dh's consent anyway.

I'm sure he'll understand. X

Told DH. He said I've made a simple thing very complicated, but says I am otherwise not that bad he isn't going to divorce me.

This has made me look at the problem differently though. Thank you for all of your support, you have helped me a lot.

Glad dh was reasonable about it. Don't lose confidence in yourself, as already pointed out, you take for granted everything you do get right on a daily basis!

You might be able to get a courtesy car while yours is repaired if you're fully comp- worth asking.
