[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All you can do is make sure that ALL of the other parents know exactly what happened - those twins went into a private area of the house that they knew was strictly off-limits and did a thousand dollars of damage by being stupid in there. And the parent's response - that they expected that their kids can't behave and that OP should have expected it too, and locked the door.

I'm guessing the twins won't be allowed anywhere for a while. And obviously never back to your house.

And your son can only have 1 friend at a time now since he obviously can't control his guests.[/quote]

This is a good response.
If it were my kids I would offer to pay but different people have different financial circumstances and I wouldn't it further. Maybe she would have liked to pay but she's embarrassed she can't and reacted in a defensive way. This stinks, OP, but I would drop it right now. 
It's 1/3 the fault of the 2 boys who hit the shelf, 1/3 your fault for not locking the door, 1/3 your child's fault for not being able to control his friends. If you think 11 year olds should have known better your child should have known better than to invite so many kids over. It is 0% the other mother's fault.[/quote]
