[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To clarify, my friend saw her toddler with the keys AFTER DH did.  So he wasn't the last adult to see her with them.

Also, DH didn't take them from her at the time because he was chasing after our own toddler who was running toward a ledge nearby.  So because DH was watching both and they weren't watching even just their own, we're on the hook?

I definitely agree that DH should have done more and I'm annoyed that he didn't.  But I also feel like the toddler's parents should have done more -- I mean, in the end, we're responsible for our kids.  Second, what really annoys me is that the parents seem completely unwilling to entertain even the possibility that the keys might be lost because their kid was playing with them, and therefore, they have any responsibility for the fact that they're lost.

Replacing them is going to cost literally hundreds of dollars.[/quote]If you are going to act this way your DH needs to "literally" act like a child was running around with several hundred dollars worth of your belongings. [/quote]

Exactly.  If you saw a toddler playing with a couple of hundred dollar bills from your wallet, would you just take the bills and put them back in the exact same place so the toddler could grab them again?

As parents of a toddler, you should realize that you need to toddler-proof your expensive belongings.

And why don't you go back to the park right now and look for them?  Why in the world are you waiting until tomorrow?  This makes no sense.  Are you posting here because you hope the other family will see it?[/quote]
