Not for you and me but there are some for over $80,000!

Most Expensive TVs
TV Price
LG Signature OLED65R1PTA 65 inch Ultra HD 4K Rollable Smart OLED TV ₹79,99,990
Samsung Neo MS1 89 inch Ultra HD 4K Smart Micro LED TV ₹75,99,999
Samsung QA98Q900RBK 98-inch Ultra HD 8K Smart QLED TV ₹59,99,900
Sony Z9G 98-inch 8K Ultra HD Smart OLED TV ₹


That's the symbol for the Indian rupee.


I am Indian-American and for some reason this post cracked me up so much I can't stop laughing. (Yes the commas are a typical Indian thing as well - this is not $ prices in the US).

Don't buy expensive things while you have children. Punish yourself for your bad choices.

Why should your credit card cover a TV your kid broke?

Its not his fault you bought an expensive TV. Punish him the same way as you would a $100 TV

+1. It sounds like the parents are the ones that need to be punished here.

We left the broken TV in the living room and when he would ask for cartoons, we would point at the broken TV and say “no shows. The TV has a boo-boo from when you hit it”.

Eventually he was allowed to have an iPad again but if he isn’t gentle with it, he loses any iPad time for 48 hours.


PERFECT

Idk guys I might be different but I remember being a very well behaved child. I still have memories from 1 years old. (Confirmed by parents)

I'll say this I think my imagination helped me stay out of trouble. I could occupy my mind.

Children are truly different but idk my daughter and son act drastically different. My daughter has always been calm and peaceful. Emotional but not aggressive. But my son is so aggressive.

Idk

If it takes you 9 months to think of an answer to a question, I can see understand why you don't have energy to throw things across a room.

We put her in time out right away because we had been working on not hitting and she understood that concept. But there’s no way a toddler understands delayed consequences like paying for a tv.

Work on impulse control and not throwing things in the house. Set your kid up for success by keeping things that can be broken out of their way or protecting valuables. (We put a baby gate around the tv so the kids couldn’t get close to it or the remote, game players, streaming boxes,etc.) Direct any anger or frustration away from your child. They just don’t understand.


He is s old enough to understand throwing an object when he is angry so he should be old enough to understand punishment for doing so. Obviously, kid has some serious anger problems that OP should have been working on before this incident.

If my child deliberately broke any item irrespective of cost there would be immediate punishment. S three year old knows what they are doing.

No punishment and making excuses for bad is why so many American kids are god-awful feral brats.

And for spending 5000 bucks on a tv when that amount clearly causes you stress.

This is obvious: don't replace the TV. Do without.
