| My Friend hurt my feelings! I have a close friend. We have her and her hubby over for dinner at least once a week and they have us over. Well, she always puts up her nice decoration so my 2 year old doesnt break anything. Which makes it a lot easier over there. (She doesnt have any kids) Well we went over there to eat sloppy joe's. And next thing I know Bryson knocks over this HUGE decorative vase that is sitting on the carpet. I mean, this thing was huge! I guess she never thought of putting that up. It is very heavy. Well, he knocks it over on the carpet and the long skinny part at the top of the vase break off. My friend put her hands over her face for about five min. I said I was SO sorry and she wouldnt even look up. Now this is a really close friend of mine so that hurt my feelings pretty bad. I immediately told her we would pay for it. I kept asking how much it cost and she was very rude and said she didnt remember that she bought it from Kirklands when they built the house about a year ago. Well I had just cashed a Mary Kay check and had cash in the car so I went and got $75 out and gave it to her. She didnt hesitate to take it. When we left I was so upset becuase I work very hard for that money. And $75 is a lot to me. Atleast it was a lot of money for a Sloppy Joe dinner!!! =) I dont think we will be going over there until Bryson gets a little older! Well sorry this is so long, I just trhough I would tell you about it!

| Oh that is so sad. A vase is not worth the loss of a long term friendship. I hope you are both able to put this behind you. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I'm sorry that happened. If the situation was reversed I know you would not have accpeted the money, I know I wouldn't ,accident's happen. Hopefully when she calms down she will return it then I would probably get her 25.00 Gift certificate to Kirklands as a good will gesture.

| Im Sorry That Happened, Im Sure She Was Just A Little Shocked And Upset And She Will Get Over It Very Soon..materials Things Mean Nothing Next To A Good Friend...i Probably Would Have Been Upset For A Minute Too..but I Would Never Lose A Friend Over Something Like That.. I Have A Little One, So I Know How You Feel On That Too.. |

| HMMM.. I don't think it was so bad she had to take a minute to compose herself. I know if even MY OWN child broke something of my oWN I treasured I would have to take a minute and compose myself o keep from screaming. I also think that if you are mad she took she money ... you shouldn't have offered it. It seems by saying you are upset she took it it means you weren't sincere in offering it to her

| Oh I'm so sorry to hear this. I can understand how you feel but I can also understand your friend, who does not have kids.....like me, I don't have kids and I don't have the patience or understanding for those who do, I mean I do have patience and understanding but nothing close to how it is to be a mom. Gosh, when money comes into the story it really can tear friendships apart, and that is just so sad and heartbreaking. Friends, good ones, are hard to come by and are worth much more than a vase....which doesn't excuse the fact that it was broken but still, what's done is done and material posessions, whatever they may be, are never worth more than a friendship. I hope you guys are able to resolve this when everything calms down.

| OMG KRISTI what kind of friend is that... idk I don't think that's a very good friend of course she should be a little upset but with all the times I've had kids break stuff at my house I'd never take money,even from someone I barely knew. that's so rude! People can be so strange. It's not like you went over and told him to do it. (also, if something breaks, the FIRST thing your friend should be concerned about... the safety of your son... that could've REALLY hurt him) |

I was very sincere in offering the money. Maybe you just had to be there. I hope this doesnt turn into a judgemental thread like many others day. Just telling you about a day I had. =)

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Awww...Girl - Stuff can be GLUED back together and maybe you can go on a shopping trip together and find her something with her 75 $ and put it behind you - Your son is a baby - stuff happens. Friendships don't....they require work and it sounds like your friendship is worth keeping vase or no vase. Glad things are ok....and I love your avatar too ! hehe |
