she broke my breast pump...ugh
just venting but wouldn't you get upset if SIL broke a main piece off your breast pump threw it away and didn't tell you until you asked why wasn't she pumping instead of putting newborn on formula.
she offered to replace ($15 at most) part when i approached her with it, but that was 2 months ago and you have to order it directly from Medela and she hasn't tried to order it at all.
i asked her nicely if she has had a chance to order it last week and was told "she hasn't had the money" "she will order it before I NEED it" and "i don't get what the time issue is on ordering it. she also stated the same thing to our other SIL adding that she didn't understand why i was throwing such a fit over a LOST piec.....UGH SHE was the one that told me she threw it away and now she's lying about it.
it's not about the money for me it's the fact that she had so little respect for me and my belongings to do the right thing.

Re: she broke my breast pump...ugh
This exactly.... and it's sad to say that family tends to be the worst when it comes to caring for and returning things.
Yeah, I've learned this the hard way.
i sent her a text with the item # and the contact # and she called me giving me attitude about why was it was such a big deal for her to replace it. and that over a year ago we broke a part on their steam cleaner that they decided not to say anything about and just replaced it at $30.
then she started going off about respect and that i didn't respect her because the week before she told me i hurt her feelings and i basically said i didn't give a *** and that she's been mad at me because i didn't think of her and get her newspapers (for the coupons) the week prior.
needless to say i told her either replace the $15 part or buy me a new $300 pump when I do NEED it and she did not like that. she started screaming at me calling me a stupid b*@ch so I then stated that she could just give me everything i loaned her ( bassinet, rocker ,swing and bouncy seat) if she wasn't going to have respect for my things. her last words were "you're a stupid b*@ch and i'm going to go drop if off somewhere"
Wow, I don't think that was really a battle worth fighting for $15. I would have considered it the price you pay to learn who is responsible with your things. I would have replaced the part and then not loaned her anything. Ever.
Sounds like there is more to the story.
Yea, really their has to be more to this story! I get it, my SIL (well BIL's wife) annoys me to no end. Seriously she is tone of my least favorite people sometimes. If she did this I would be annoyed as well. But she is family and $15 would not be worth the fight. Honestly I would never loan her anything anyways
but it was $15 and yea she was being a *** not replacing it, but really it is what it is. Would I have replaced the part? Of course! But she is obviously not grateful so know next time! Is their more to the story?
yes their is more to the story she was mad at me for not thinking of her last week and getting her newspapers so she could have the coupon inserts.
i didn't get upset about the $15 i was upset that she is being disrespectful of my things and after she acted like she did and started yelling at me is why i took the other items back. i wasn't going to let her stay mad at me for months which she does from time to time and give the items away during that timeframe.
basically sum it up she thought i was being disrespectful and inconsiderate because i did not get her newspapers so she thinks she has every right to be mad at me for however long she wants. i inquired about the replacement part after waiting 2 months (both times i was very nice) and she flips out about why is it a big deal to replace it RIGHT now.
She sounds like a peach
Who gets mad over someone not getting them a paper? Crazy Crazy!
