English term or phrase: it is all on one's side
Не понимаю смысла фразы в таком диалоге.
Одна женщина говорит, мол, муж уволил вашего племянника, Питера, а теперь мальчик не может найти себе работу.
Вторая ей отвечает: Now, now, dear. That was all on Peter’s side.

Заранее спасибо всем откликнувшимся!
