Stuck between sister and niece

[cocochanel21]

My older sister and I have always been close. We had our DDS a year apart at the time I was a young single mum and she was settled and married. She looked after my dd so I could work and helped me a lot over the year's. She couldn't have anymore dcs and her dd is her life and if I'm honest her dd is spoilt and treated like a princesss. Over the year's she has had many fights with our siblings 're her dd as she seems to have a total blind spot where her DDS concerned.
Dn is now 22 with 2dcs she recently split with her partner.My sis and bil set her up in a flat and have the dcs every weekend to let Dn go out which is fine as they are happy to do this.
I recently had DD2 and my Dn has been spending alot of time at my house she brings her 2dcs over and I do enjoy spending time with her although she is definitely a pampered princess thanks to her parent's.
She told me recently that she'd had taken a loan out for Christmas presents for her dcs and was having trouble paying it back.I'm now in a position fincanally where I could help her and was happy to do so,turns out she hadn't made any payments on the loan I paid it off in full and asked at the time if she had anymore debts which she said no she asked me not to tell her mum which I agreed and forgot all about it.
My sis came to my house on Fri and while here she let slip that poor dd had taken out a loan at Christmas and was having trouble paying it so she has been paying X amount into her account every week and she having to cut back in order to do this without her Dh finding out.
I contacted Dn when my sis left on Fri and asked how many loans she had which she replied just the one I had paid off when I questioned her as to why her mum was paying into her acc every week she got flustered and told me she's call me back. I know she is lying to us both. Today i received a text from her saying you promised you wouldn't tell my mum about the loan I'm really upset you would do that.

So do I leave it I know my sis will make out her dd got confused and its all a misunderstanding. My sis has really been here for me this last year and I don't want to fall out with her and it isn't about the money i was happy to be able to help her. I just hate the thought I've been taken for a mug.

I hope you actually paid off the loan to the bank/loan company? Otherwise if you gave the money to DN I suspect she will have just spent it on other things and still be counting on her mum's payments to cover the loan.....

Cocochanel my sympathy to you on the death of your daughter.

So sorry about your dd, cocochanel.

Hope you've got all this mess sorted, now. Good luck to you all.

Coco how did it pan out with your sister and niece?

My sister is still in the dark as to when the loan was paid. I'm happy to let her think I paid it recently. I'm just relieved she isn't left to sort it out.
As for the pampered princess,she's just CONFUSED.
In front of her mum she made out she didn't know she was putting money in her acc every week
She told me,she thought I had just made 1 payment towards the loan. Although she seems to have forgotten I gave her the paperwork with PAID IN FULL written on it.

I've learned never to get involved in her finances again. I'll stick to buying her lunch and treating her dcs to a new outfit occasionally. It hasn't stopped her coming round as I've had the pleasure of her company 3 times this week. Must be great to be CONFUSED about who's paying your debts as long as it not you
