DH borrowed sons savings

Hi,

I am a bit pissed of with DH. He is self employed and had a bit of an issue last month when he was unable to work for a couple of weeks due to an injury ( he needs insurance - lesson learnt!!).

A few days ago I found out that he had borrowed £1000 from our sons's savings. It's an online saving account that we both have access to. We both pay £100 a month in to it.

He has now paid all of the money back, but I am annoyed that he didn't tell me. He has apologised and said that he was embarrassed and knew that he could repay it quickly, so just did it.

Am I wrong to still be annoyed?

I feel sorry for him. He must have felt humiliated to do that and says he felt embarrassed. You'd be right to insist he sorts out insurance but don't humble him further. He's paid it back so let it go and help him to get over it.
