Am I wrong here?

Question

So my 10 year old cousin spent the night, and I had let her borrow my game for about 2 weeks.

I got it back tonight, and come to find out that some things were messed up on it, I was missing a bunch of money on the game, etc.

I freaked out at first, because money is hard to get on this game and I had 15,000 dollars, and now am left with 500, and no way to get it back.

But thats not even the point - I asked her not to go into my account on it, and buy things, which she OBVIOUSLY did, because how could it just disappear like that? And she still denies ever spending anything.

So I freaked out at first, and yelled at her, and then she started crying and pouting, so I apolozied to her, and she wanted to call her mom, so I let her, because she was just being silent, and wasnt talking to me.

My question is - am I wrong with this whole situation? I apologized, and she was still angry.

I know one thing - never let a irresponsible 10 year old borrow anything.

Answer 1

You did the right thing and the only wrong thing that you did was apologizing to that 10 yr old b*tch!

I learnt this lesson : don't apologize to kids, they;ll think they're right and you wrong

Well , u know, similar thing happened to me 9 years ago, my friend want to borrow my brother electric guitar and i let him. He gave it back 2 weeks later and the guitar was ruined! Ding everywhere and 2 strings were missing! First thing I do I punched him on the face, he called his mom and I explain everything, I got punished though, my mom punished me but I don't regret it, cause I have punched that motherf*cker...

Since your case was 10 year old cousin and she was a GIRL just slap her, that worked on me..^^

Answer 2

Well, I do this type of thing because I mean its not that you hate them or anything, it's just the fact that they did exactly what you asked them not to do that annoys you. If placed in your situation I probably would have done the same thing, but that doesn't make it right. I mean you did let a 10 year old borrow your game and you should've kinda known that she was gonna mess up something, even if it wasn't on purpose because kids are that way. It's good you apologized though, so she shouldn't be too angry now. She is ten though so she may not talk to you for a while but she'll come around. TRUST.

Answer 3

What are you like ten too? Both are wrong, You should not have freaked out, cos you are older and should set up a better example for your cousin. You hurted her feelings. She lied to you cos you are freaked out. It was right you apologized. But she should also confess to you the truth. It is very hard to keep a person to speak the truth, we are all condemned a sinful heart.

There are bigger worries in the world. People are dying of starvation and lack of shelter and clothing let alone owning a pocket game. You emphasized too much on the game over your cousins feeling. I know you be hurt too, but you can always earn back the money in the game but not erase your cousin's memory. Where is the love?

Im not sayin this to offend you. No hard feelings. I just think you have overreacted. I would probably respond the way you did as well, but i be sorry as well.

Answer 4

omg i hate when little kids do that!!! my little sister borrows my stuff and messes it up all the time so i just told her she can't borrow anything anymore. i think yelling at your cousin was kind of mean, but its ok the be mad. tell her that since she was irresponsible with your game,that you won't let her borrow any of your stuff anymore. if she starts crying after you say that don't let it get to you, 10 year olds often cry because they want to get their way or because they want sympathy. but unless she has a good reason to be crying (like when you yelled at her) don't believe it.

i hope this helps!

Answer 5

You answered your own questions she's irresponsible and you let her borrow your game, I am 28 and a little over protective of my belongings that's why I don't lone this out. There's not much you can do now, just don't lone her things again, she's just a kid. She's acting like 1 too, pouting and giving the silent treatment....

Answer 7

You've learned one of life's toughest lessons...never let a relative or friend borrow something that you aren't willing to let them keep. Just forget about it. Your relationship with your cousin is 100 times more important than a video game. In a year, you won't care about that game, but she will still be your cousin.

Answer 8

Once we offend someone it takes a lot for them to overcome the offense, if at all. We need to think before we react...I have made this same mistake more than I like to admit.

I'm glad you apologized, and I pray in time it will be OK; 10 year olds are people too, meaning they too can make mistakes just like us, but the biggest mistake is saying and/or thinking unkind things...

I'd give her the game to show her she is more important to you than anything material...

Answer 9

You are overreacting on a game? She is 10. Like she has any REAL concept of money. They don't pay rent/mortgage, bills, food. If you LOVE your game more than your cousin then, I suggest you say sorry to your cousin..if THAT game was really important to you than your family, a roof over your head, clothes on your back, food in your stomache and hot water/gas. Then wow...that is all I can say. Don't lend her games that involves money then...simple as that. People love money, money doesn't love back. I don't understand that concept. Love is heart not money.

Answer 10

This is what you need to do..you say.."(Name) I am really sorry for YELLING at you ( see it was the yelling that made her cary) anyway you tell her you love her she is little and that would make her feel better, ( she may look up to you ya know) anyway tell her that all you wanted was her not to use up your maoney on your game, so because of it, if she wanted to use your game again she would have to earn it back..but tell her you love her ok ,,you;ll see it will work out
