[quote=Anonymous]If your DH did this, you would figure out a way to fix and move on. You (together) might decide that, because you had to replace the sofa, you couldn't afford a vacation you were planning. But you would not "punish" your DH. I think the same applies to a child. Certainly it is fair to have a discussion of whether or not this unexpected expense makes it impossible to do afford x, y, or z. But punishment seems inappropriate to me. We all make mistakes, and given how many people I know who have suffered furniture damage due to their dogs, I'm going to hazard a guess that forgetting to lock up a dog or neglecting to keep an eagle eye on a dog is something that adults to all the time. Truly, the real responsibility lies with the dog owner, you. YOU neglected to secure the dog, instead you relied on someone else to do it. Correct?[/quote]
