If you’ve ever sent your not-so-subtle message to someone it wasn’t intended for, you may still feel shattered with embarrassment years later.

Lieke (38) has three sons aged 10, 8 and 2:

“My goodness, those pussies were awful again”, I texted my regular complaining buddy about the really unmanageable children (8, 4 and 1) of a mutual friend. At least that’s what I thought. Because I sent the message to the mother of the puss in question, and she didn’t thank me for that.

Only under four eyes

I went through the dust. Kudos to me in apologies and other apologies, I didn’t mean it that way. A lie, she also knew that, because her children are also unguided projectiles. It didn’t get any better. Which, of course, she was right about.

Since then we’ve avoided each other a bit on children’s birthdays and we certainly never meet again. And criticizing others? I only express it orally, privately.”
