I bought some high-school uniform for DD from a local selling site. It was an ex-student selling off her uniform, she sold me a decent sized bundle of uniform for £20. When I collected it was her mum who gave me the uniform. I then received a message from the daughter to say she’d forgotten to give me some shirts. So I went back to collect the shirts but felt it was such a good deal and admirable that the girl was trying to make some extra cash by selling her old uniform I gave the mum an extra £10 to give to her daughter.
Her mum asked if I’d told the daughter about the extra money and I told her I hadn’t. She asked me not to tell her daughter as the daughter had already got the £20 and thought she should keep the £10 as she’d originally bought the uniform (second hand). However it was the daughter who went to the trouble of listing it.
I think she should have given her daughter the money -AIBU? If she’d wanted the money then surely she should have sold the uniform herself.
Also what do I do now? Do I tell the daughter and risk causing an argument between them or say nothing and keep out of it.
Wish I’d never offered the extra money now 🙄
