[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real issue is: what example do you set for your impressionable child? The answer is: when we destroy someone else’s stuff, we take responsibility for that. (Or do y’all want your kid to see you arguing the fine points about how close the phone was to the pool? Oy.)[/quote]

Actually I think most people who leave their phones in dangerous places (like on the side of a kiddie pool) don't expect others to replace it. They know they were making risky choices. [/quote]

This doesn’t seem to be getting through: has nothing to do with what the phone owner expects. It is about what is the right behavior to show the child. The right behavior is we broke it, so we take responsibility for it.[/quote]

OP wasn't about modeling good behavior.  It was about money.  Pay up [/quote]
Well, yeah. If you break something, you pay for it. Duh![/quote]

And then you will graciously decline.  I'm sure.[/quote]
