Am I responsible for replacing something my son broke at someone else's house?

Depending on how it was broke…like if the adult put a drink next to it and the kid accidentally knocked it over then maybe half the cost…but if your child was rough housing and broke it then absolutely replace it! Yes the other parent should have been watching but your child should also know manners and right from wrong! Use it as a learning experience and if paying for it is what needs to be done then do it

I think it depends on the situation. I keep my valuables out of the way of children, even the older ones. I’m a mom of four kids, the older being boys. I know kids can be energetic, especially when friends are over. Accidents happen, I honestly can’t say that if my computer got broken by accident that I would expect their parents to pay. BUT, if there was negligence by the child, then yes, they can pay half. But it’s all in what happened, the situation, and the child.

Definately up to you! Sorry but it wouldn’t have broken had he not been there!

Ya I would say u r responsible to pay for it.

Problem parent, problem child=another adult that is not accountable for their actions!

Replace what your kid broke.

Yes it is definitely your responsibility

Yes you are responsible for everything your child does. Sorry!

It really seems like you are trying to finagle a way out of paying for something you should be paying for. Stop, and take care of your responsibility.

Yes of course. Goes without asking.

I would offer to help pay for it.

Lmao is this for real??? Are you guys just making up questions to get conversation started?!? :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:

I think you should have to replace it

I believe half is fair.

Your homeowners may fix if u have

Yes… It is your responsibility. At least half . That’s fair.

Not enough information to make an informed decision . You dont accidentally break a computer . It takes a lot to break them . So with that being said . Yes you should pay for it. Wouldn’t you be upset if it was yours and someone else broke it .

If a child i invited over broke something in my home while I was watching them, I’m not sure I’d expect them to pay.

I can’t believe you are really asking this question. OF COURSE YOU ARE

It would be polite to offer.

Yes it is your responsibility plus it would be the right thing to do! If my kid broke something and the parent told me id actually tell them
Ill replace it!!

Yes. If your kid breaks it you bought it

Absolutely! Your child, your responsibility there or not

I brought my baby’s new beds that cost 250 each and my oldest boy had his mates over and the beds got broke no one offered to pay nothing like always ive had a few things broke by other peoples kids the decency in the world today has gone not even a sorry from any of the kids at all just all said it weren’t me but now both my baby’s are left with broken beds now if that was my kids that did that in someone else home I’m the kinda person who would offer to pay or just replace it as my kid did it but I’ve still not met another person who would be willing to do the same in 10 years it’s amazing what actully it being taught in day and age my mum said to us when we were kids if you break it you buy it no matter what and I’ve lived by that my hole life I think every kid should it teaches them rescept for other people things and there own and decency in knowing if they break something they replace it

You should offer to replace it.

Heck yea it’s your responsibility if you have have any morals…

You owe them a new computer!

You should at least offer

Yes! It is your responsibility!

I would offer to pay for it.

Yes, you’re responsible… crazy question lol

No they were under her supervision. There was nothing you could have done to prevent it. She should have had it put up or paying more attention

Yes… It’s your child, you are responsible…

I think you’re responsible for half.

At least half it . Regardless

How did he break the computer that’s what I would ask

Depends on how it was broken.

Yes I would offer to pay!

If he broke it, Yes.

I’m a grandma I have stuff here that my four yr old and younger has broken. I/we never said to our children they had to replace.

I would offer to pay half

Your child should be held responsible if he’s to young to get a real job then make him earn the money through chores.

Your kid damaged it, you replace it. If you were at a friend’s house drinking and you broke their computer, it’d be your fault.

I will offer to pay something.

Yes you should be and you are.

Slippery slope with that one, you need details.

i can’t believe you are even asking this

By all means! Simple as that

I think it depends on the situation if my child does something on accident then no because I wouldn’t expect the other parent to if it’s an accident but if my child wasn’t on there best behavior like they know they better be then yes I would pay and my child would be working to pay me back because let’s face it our kids aren’t always the angels we expect them to be :woman_shrugging:t3:it really depends on the details of the situation because older children aren’t always supervised on electronics in all homes and if you do supervise them always then I would suggest not letting them stay the night with kids who aren’t required to have that same supervision hopefully that makes sense and is helpful

Yes you should pay for it

I would at least offer to pay for half. . .

Are you sure it worked before

Yes your child your responsibility.

That’s what ya have insurance for

Were the kids allowed to be on the computer?

Accidents happen, and since the child was invited over and you weren’t there to supervise them, 50/50 is fair.

Stop being cheap and replace the computer
