I have a 'friend' who has a sort of craft business. First she had a family member work for her and there were problems with payment. So then after that didn't work out she got a parent at the school to work for her. They haven't got pain either, despite a loan which was being waiting on being sorted out.
This friend has been quite demanding and manipulative over the years so I have kind of let go. Yesterday I was cross about the way she treats people and worried about the parent at school who says they might not be able to afford the mortgage this month unless they get the several thousand pounds owed. I sent a text to the 'friend' owing the money yesterday. I said "I saw X, hear you owe them X. Hope you can pay them soon as they might not be able to afford the mortgage this month" I get a reply later saying they are sorting it out.
At the school pick up, I meet the parent owed the money. They are cross with me. Say they can't believe I did that, they had had a call from the 'friend' which seems not to have gone well. I have caused lots more problems now.
Oh dear. I still think I did the right thing, but I guess I should have stayed out of this mess....what do you think?
