My parents have been happily divorced for well over 30 years. Rarely see each other, only at grandchildren’s birthdays etc.
The other day I brought my youngest of 3 a new pair of Clarks shoes (£46). My dad called as we were shopping asked what we were up too, general chat and told him that we had just brought shoes/shopping etc.
Spoke to my mum that evening told her I brought my youngest new shoes and she very kindly offered to buy them. Thanked her and excepted. She transferred me the money later that night.
I just checked my bank online and my dad has sent me £50, I didn’t ask he very kindly just sent it over. I will ring my dad tonight to thank him.
This isn’t a life or death question… just a more what would you do? I can’t lie, but do I just not say anything to the other parent? My husband thinks I’m a terrible person not saying anything and I should return the money to one of them. He’s actually called me deceitful which made my sister howl with laughter!
My sister says not to mention it! (Maybe I need to watch her!! 😝)
I mean I don't think even is do “confess” that either parent or going to ask for the money back!!
The money is more than likely going to be spend on the kids over half term, maybe a cheeky Starbucks in there for me too!
What would you do? Confess? Or just not mention anything?
