Is this rude?
My partner's mum is a hoarder and wanted to do a clear out of her house. So she leant her our vacuum cleaner as we had a spare. The one we gave her was bigger and better suction but we managed.
She leant it for approx 2 months.
When my partner went to pick it up, the nozzle had broken (snapped) she had taped it back on with thick masking tape.
She then mentioned she had ordered herself the same model etc, due to be delivered later that day. It was a Henry vacuum cleaner.
She made no offer to replace ours. She was smiling that it was a great vacuum and she couldn't wait to get one of her own. She also struggles financially so it's a bit awkward.
Is this rude or am I overreacting?

Sorry first bit should say, we leant her our vacuum cleaner.
So I think it’s rude she didn’t apologise for breaking it and maybe suggest replacing the broken part I understand the struggling financially but I know you can replace most parts of a Henry pretty cheaply I’d be mortified if I borrowed something and gave it back broken 😅
Your husband should tell her she should give you guys the new vacuum since she broke yours
Not even acknowledging she broke it is just plain rude
You break it you replace it. If she had enough to gloat about buying another one then she obviously has enough money to replace the nozzle. My grandma always told me you break something you buy it period, it don't matter who you are how old you are unless your a baby if course.
I mean to say it’s rude in my opinion she should be giving you guys the new one and taking the broken one or just simply replacing the piece she broke I get financially she might be tight but still no excuse you guys let her borrow something In perfect condition and she returned it broken she should take responsibility
