At the end of the day, one of the house's owners is now upset with OP and her husband.  That's not a great position to find yourself in, over nothing.  It simply wasn't worth the 50 percent more for a used boogie board to not graciously accept the offer and move on.[/quote]
That Aunt should know to stay out of it. [b]What is stopping OP's DH from running to their Daddy and having Daddy call Cousin and yell at him for only offering 50%?[/b]

Cousin was wrong. Cousin didn't even offer to pay for broken item at 100%. Cousin got called on it. Cousin didn't like it so had to whine to his mom (or Aunt. it was).[/quote]

This would be as inappropriate as not accepting the 50 percent in the first place.

No one thinks cousin looks good in this situation, but cousin didn't post here to hear from us.[/quote]
Exactly. People blaming the cousin are missing the point entirely. If cousin were posting, we would all say that he should pay full price and apologize. Even in the most generous interpretation that cousin thought it was a shared item, he should still offer to pay. But since he didn’t, Op should have accepted half and not left valuable things there anymore.[/quote]
