To Lie....

[WorzselMummage]

I've just scratched our car.. not a big scratch but a scratch none the less

I was wrestling with a bag of compost on b&q carpark and kinda smashed the trolly in to the back bumper.

Its only a little scratch, about an inch but a bit of it's gone right down to the plastic.

How unreasonable would it be on a scale of 1 to 10 if waited till he spots it and deny all knowledge.

Df will kill me, its already had a new bumper after i reversed it in to a mercedes in tescos carpark.

*sobs.

Say "dd weed on my shoes and I lost control of the trolley for a second" you don't have to mention the 2 events did not occur exactly in that order.....

Purple duck congrats on your test

Countess dracular, he's not controlling atall he just likes things to be looked after and as i am generally a clumsy bitch it's always me who breaks stuff so i get moaned at

Jackstini that is a fabulous idea

Solo, she's 3.

I was holding dd over the bushes for a wee and the trolly rolled in to the car, i coulnt stop it of i'd have dropped her'

that work you recon ?

I would tell him you had a pig of a day - that you bought some compost - it was too heavy for you to get in the car, dd picked that moment to insist on a wee, which she did over your shoes and you managed to let go of the trolley and it rolled into the bumper and scratched.

The only good thing that happened was some nice man came and helped you get the compost in the car.

And then say - hope your day was better than mine .

That way you tell him about it - but not in a way he can blame you for !

Thanks

sorted

thanks and wish me luck !

You shouldn't be made to feel clumsy and stupid because you do something like this!

My father was/is like this. My mother was always walking on eggshells as a result
Personally I think it is controlling behaviour

She told me once that when she re-married my stepfather it took her ages to get over cringing and feeling bad when she broke or damaged something. And that the best thing about him (stepfather) was that he accepted her, clumsiness and all, and didn't criticise her or make her feel bad about it.

i wouldnt be with him if he was in any way shapre or form controlling. I am not a doormat.

I feel bad because i damaged his car, he paid for it, he puts a diesel in it and i get the luxury of calling it our car and using it whenever i want.

The least i could do is look after it !

If he seriously would give you grief and make comments for 2 months for an accidental bump that wasnt even your fault, then thats really excessively critical.
