First off,
Husband doesn’t have a clue about the “man code”
If you borrow a electrical tool & it breaks. It’s your responsibility to fix it or buy a new one to replace it.
As well,
If it was a new cellphone. Buy her a new one. If not, used cellphones are available.

Since he thinks the money she’s paid for watching your daughter should be used on things broken by one of your household members show him what market childcare for the times mom has her and suggest that you guys pay her that. I bet he’ll change his tune.

I would def replace both. The phone isn’t necessarily all your responsibility to replace so to say, technically, but morally, you should. She helps y’all so much, you get by cheaper using her for childcare, and she doesn’t have any other income. Plus, she’s ur momma . Idk. Husband needs to look again with a different mind set lol
Your husband needs a reality check go put your kid into daycare for one month and see if he still thinks this way! Your husband sounds like a tight ass who wouldn’t pay your mom a dime if it was his choice.
Replace mom’s items immediately
Is divorce an option? What a nasty, selfish d1ck!

Replace the mower and phone. Your husband should have purchased himself a mower instead of using your Mom’s. If your daughter had not of been with your Mom, the phone would not have gotten broken, buy her a new phone. Husband should take responsibility for himself and your little family. Your Mom sounds like an angel to help you as much as she does. Love her dearly, she will only be with you a little while. Money isn’t everything.

I wouldn’t replace the lawn mower, I would get it fixed for sure. And since your child messed up her phone it’s only right to replace it. Even if you can add her on your phone bill to get a replacement
Send your daughter to daycare and give your husband the bill for a month . Than let’s see how fast your mom has a phone and a lawnmower. Cheap

I would replace the cell phone for sure. Your daughter threw it in water.
Replace phone first, as your child caused the damage directly. And replace the mower as well (or have that one repaired) as it was in your possession when it stopped working
I’d replace anything that broke while in my possession or that my child broke or damaged.
The two situations are separate from your mom watching your child.
Replace your husband.

Some of you are doormats. Idk why this is a conversation. Your mother raised you with manners and is still helping you out. Your husband is trash.
She’s your mom! Explain to your husband how much daycare costs and show him the stories of all the children being abused while in daycare. If the mower was a piece of junk he shouldn’t have borrowed it and if your child broke her phone you owe to replace it. No offense but your husband sounds like a jerk. Take care of your mom. You’ll only have her for so long.

I say pay for the phone.
I think you’re right. If the lawnmower broke while you were using it then it should be replaced or repaired by you. Same goes for the phone. It wouldn’t have broken if she weren’t watching your kids. Get a quote from a commercial daycare & let him see what the real cost of daycare is. I bet he’ll appreciate your mother more after seeing what traditional daycare costs.

You need to replace both the mower and the phone it is your responsibility to do so, 1 because your child broke/ruined her phone and 2 you were using the mower that she was being nice enough to let you use when it broke.

Firstly, Replace her items, they have nothing to do with child care.
Secondly, why don’t you put your children in a daycare center for a couple months and see how he likes paying those wages. 
Pay her an appropriate wage for the services she’s providing you.

Regardless if she watches your kids or not, if she is a great mom to you & has no income besides from watching your kids why wouldn’t you want to help out? Plus it’s a win win you can always borrow the lawnmower.
Guarantee if this was his mommy he’d buy her the newest phone, & best lawnmower out there

I agree with you. Daycare is basically paying a second mortgage. He should feel lucky to have family and a trusting person available for such a flexible schedule. I would also add not to let the little one play with her phone. I would understand why your husband is upset IF this was a constant occurrence.
He is being selfish , cos it is not his mother , taking advantage of her good nature , ask him if it was his mother what would he do

Idk y ur Husband is so cheap, but maybe he should replace the mower n go buy his own!!! The phone ofcourse u replace it-your daughter broke it. These seem like common sense things, but maybe ur hubby’s a little short on that lol🤣

If it was someone else u borrowed lawn mower from u. Would feel right to replace it … and if it was someone else’s phone u would feel the same replace it or she may not want to loan to. You. Anymore or. Babysitt cause if she has to go back to work to replace these items its gonna cost u alot more. To have childcare too
Then by his logic he should cough up the real money for daycare. He’s being saved hundreds a month thanks to your mother he should be thankful

If your mom was a daycare and your child damaged her phone you would be responsible. If you didn’t replace it you would most certainly be finding a new daycare. So just because it’s your mom doesn’t give you the right to do the wrong thing.
As far as the mower, this is more of a personal matter. I think you should look into how much the repairs are and offer to cover half of the amount with her.
You are in the right for wanting to replace these items. Maybe go half on the lawnmower and the phone. Make a compromise
