Some people need to think before they open their gob...

I would have smacked her...

She probably has foot in mouth syndrome and didn't mean it to come out the way it sounded.

?

But you're definately not being oversensitive with it.

No that is definitely rude and insensitive.

What is it with people wanting to know how much things are costing? My friend has on occasions asked this about certain things (including how much my engagement ring cost!) and I feel like telling her to mind her own business! She's married so it's not like she's asking to get an idea for herself.

Your not being oversensitive, she probably didn't mean it in a mean kind of way. definately foot in mouth syndrome! but i'd have told her exactly what you just said.

She probably didn't mean it.

To be honest I wouldn't of immediately associated an inheritence payout with a death of someone close.

However if you followed it up with 'because my xxxxxx died' then I'm sure you would of got the right reaction.

Ouch! You're def not being over sensitive that was very unthinking of her.

I agree with Giles. Foot in mouth and speaking without thinking, but I would have said the reason for the money. I too have had the same reaction (my dad died at 47yrs), & I always point that out the reason for any money. I find people are very apologetic after that.

I commented once that opening up the old cupboards & boxes at my grandathers house (after he died) was like Christmas. Mum pointed out that this was an insensitive thing to say, but it was my first thought & I was only 12 at the time!

Hugely insensitive and I wouldn't have held back. But agree that she (hopefully) didn't think of the ramifications of what she was saying.

She possibly didn't mean it in the way it came out, although I think it is rude to ask how much things cost! I have been known to out my foot in it quite often myself and I never mean any harm!!

Gosh, insensitive yes! I doubt she would have thought about what she was saying and just thought about the fact you'd come into some money, I'm sure she will be kicking herself now!

Reminds me of DD where Penny says "My mother kicked me out when I was 16, I've been dancing ever since" and Baby says "I envy you".

Sorry if that was insensitive comparing your situation to an 80's chick-flick. ? See, i'm just as bloody bad!

I'm sure (and I hope) she diddnt mean it how it sounded.

If she is anything like me she has realised what she has said and probably feels a bit silly now.

She does know about my dad - we had already done the "who's giving you away?" bit before she spoke about money. I am also sure she didn't mean to cause offence, it was just a case of mouth engaging before brain. And she does know that she upset me, she came to apologise later, and we're still friends.
