Jewelry stolen from home, appropriate response? (guilty, member, sister, house)

[moongirl00]

I will apologize to my mom for making her feel bad when I told her the jewelry was missing. I should have just kept quiet and handled it all myself.

She's probably annoyed at me about that. I was a bit shocked, I didnt think it through.

I will. I also think people should know though if a theft occurred in their house. But shes extremely emotional, didnt take it well.

It's the parents house and it's stuff, not a kid.

Very common for adult kids to have some things stored at their parents home.

Very true, but then can't blame the parent if something happens to it in the free storage provided.

I just got an email from my mom. She said she has been feeling sad, and partly responsible for it and is thinking of contacting the company and accepting their offer of compensation.

I just wrote back and said I take full blame and its not her fault, only mine.

I think its a fishy business. At the very least they dont screen their cleaners enough.

They did volunteer compensation, as I said, but my mother felt the need to refuse compensation and then not even fire them.

Maybe your mother found out something about the theft that completely exonerated the cleaning crew and she didn't tell you about it.

She changed her mind. She is thinking of accepting the compensation now and interviewing them about their vetting process.

I told her its her call. Im not going to tell her to accept or not. But I did tell her I take full blame and responsibility for it.
