Is it a huge deal that a husband with grown up kids fails to mention to his wife about buying his kids a car and funding their summer holidays to the Greek islands?
I'm a bit upset on my friend's behalf. She wouldn't have been happy if she'd known he was doing it and he doesn't want the grief so hides it. She did a bit of snooping and found out and says she can't figure out if his lies are justified?
The grown up children live abroad in a country where it's not so usual for university kids to get part time jobs, but I (and my friend) come from families where it was expected to work to contribute to our education. So it's difficult to imagine our parents funding everything especially at the age of 24.
I think he should have been honest even if he knows she would have been mad. Lies are lies. What do you think? Should she confront him or just leave it? Thanks
