Yes, a flying fork could "put an eye out" (hahaha), and yes, a phone or ipad or pair of glasses or literally ANYTHING could fall off of a table and break. It was an accident and in no way indicates anything about OP's abilities as a nanny.

My the bubbles you ladies must live in with your flip phones...

Me. I never put my phone on any table or take it out of my bag at all unless I am using it.

Reading comprehension skills are so very lacking. I was using it. I had been having a conversation already with my MB. I'd picked them up from camp before We arrived and she always communicates with me about how their day was and what we will be doing afterwards. I had just sent her a message and was waiting for her response. So yes, it was on the table

Who ever heard of "Never put your cell phone on a table...??!" and "You had a 3 1/2 yr old not listen to you THREE times....????"

People on here are so ignorant and judgmental about everything.

Anyway, considering your MB requires you to utilize your cell phone on the job plus the fact that her child damaged it, she should pony up the money for you to get if fixed.

This is a no-brainer.

Anytime your child damages another person's property, the parent is responsible for repairing or replacing it. Period.

Duh.

Thank you I thought that I was in the twilight zone! Lol I'm just blessed that I work for a family that is generous and knows their children and how they can be at moments. Funny thing about it is my MB had broke her phone screen a week ago and her company replaced it for her also. She is a great lady

You keep it in your back pocket, which makes it vulnerable to breaking every time you sit. Second, you apparently don't have an adequate case for it. As PPs have pointed out, you can get an otter box cheaply and that is the best protection for your expensive phone. Third, you let your charge fool around near your phone three times without addressing his behavior. Not only is this bad nannying, you should have moved your phone to a safer location the first time he fooled around to close to it.

You were irresponsible, OP, and should pay for your phone and take better care of it. You should also do a better job as a nanny when your charges misbehave.

I don't think that I've ever said I have an issue with sitting on my phone. I have a iPhone 6+ that is huge enough to remember it's there and I always place my phone on the table Because she ALWAYS text me when we arrive places. I will continue to put my things on the table and if kids continue to misbehave their parents will continue to pay for their children's mistakes. Again my phone was in MY PERSONAL space which I have the right to and he had no business reaching across and playing.

And BITCH who the hell said I didn't address my charges behavior???!! Lol you're just being silly and need someone to talk down to or you just want to give the most redundant bitchy response you could think of. "It's bad nannying". You are too funny

My phone was in a very good case. I mentioned that already. Up until last weekend it has a glass screen protector on it that had began coming lose and collecting dirt so I pulled it off and was waiting for a replace the from Amazon. The screen cracked because it hit a bolt on the bottom of the bench leg before landing on the concrete. Guess what, shit happens and there are consequences and people have to take responsibility for it.

Wow, you should get help for your rage issues, OP. Or maybe it's just your troll issues. Funny, isn't it how your story gets more convoluted and detailed as the thread wears on? And it always provides you a perfect opportunity to call posters who disagree with you nasty names. If this is how you have fun? If it is, you need that is a pretty pathetic way to make yourself feel good.

If however, you are not a troll, you are a mean person, and a pretty lousy nanny.

If you think that a 4 year old understands the concept of personal space when it comes to your phone, you aren't very smart and know very little about children. If you think you addressed your charge's behavior when you admitted that he didn't listen to three times, then you are pretty delusional because if you had truly addressed his behavior, there would not have been a second and third time of misbehavior. If you think your iphone 6 was in a bad case but thought it was better to remove it while you waited for a replacement, you don't have much common sense.

Honestly, I really hope you're a troll because if you're real and this mean and flat out dim, I'd fear for your charges.

Finally, regarding the bolded above, it is the only true thing you said in your many posts. The thing you don't get is that it is you who needs to take responsibility for your own shit.

Lol you wish I were a troll. Nope and if you think the way I handle crazy people that talk to anonymous posters on an Internet forum has anything to do with the way that I nanny and you are even more delusional than I thought before.

The child is not four years old he is 3 1/2 years old and he very much will understand personal space because we talk about it all of the time because he has an issue with his sister getting into he is all of the time so that is the language that I use with him I don't say keep your hands to yourself etc. I teach them about avoiding getting into other peoples personal space
