[quote=Anonymous]Team OP here. Cousin sounds exactly like my sister.  My parents own a beach house they allow all their grown children to use and my sister and her children destroy everything so now we NEVER leave or store anything there when we aren’t there. My kid is an avid surfer and boogie boarder and he has some nice boards and while it is a huge PITA to have to haul them back and forth every time we go, we do. My sister and her kids break everything, lie about it, and it just sucks all around. Family dynamics can get tricky. There just be some history here re the cousin. Plus it sets a precedent that it’s no biggie to take something that doesn’t belong to you, that you know you are not supposed to take, misuse it, abuse it, and break it. Cousin isn’t a child. He’s an adult. And he made the choice to take the board from the special shed, without permission, and allow someone else’s kid to use it. He could have called or texted OP’s husband to say “hey, I found your board at the beach house, can I try it out?”  No, he knew what he was doing, and thought he wouldn’t get caught. GMAB. And then he ran to him mommy to complain about paying?  pathetic.

Yes, boogie boards can get that expensive, especially good ones. If you are serious about anything, why would you get the cheapest quality one?  Maybe OP’s kid is a serious boarder or they want a board that lasts a few years. Those cheap styrofoam ones from Wings or Sunsations are awful. But if you just want to use it for a week and throw it away after then NBD.[/quote]
