Everyone is happy with this arrangement.
That was exactly my thought. When my DB wanted me to take pictures throughout the day to text to him, text him when we were about to leave the house and arrived wherever we were going and call him a few times each day, I asked him to provide a phone or upgrade my plan to cover what he wanted. He opted to buy me a new phone which could run with a prepaid unlimited plan each month, but that was his choice, not mine.
Erg. I asked him to provide a work phone or upgrade my plan; he opted to buy me a new personal and work phone.

It should read mad at her.
Op we are not all nuts. You should keep your phone secure. Having it on a table clearly is not safe.
Then I guess glasses of liquids shouldn't be on the table? Or flower vases? Or Silverware? Or heck maybe even the food? Yes let's keep everything off of a table. I mean what I thinking? I shouldn't let them use their iPads at the table only the floor because it could drop! evenAnd
And when I'm texting back and forth with my MB I should keep the phone in the backpack and respond to her about our whereabouts and appts telepathically. You're absolutely correct. and you are very much sane. I mean we should all be prepared for kids to reach across tables and grab our belongings and play rough.
Yes you are nuts. I take care or kids, not an infant or toddler. That would be very different
I would never put my glasses on a table at a park with concrete underneath. I also prefer vases not to be on tables because accidents happen. liquids and silverware are probably fine. Although a flying fork could put an eye out. I also would never allow a child to use an ipad at a table with concrete underneath. OP you were at a park. You should also rethink this backpack thing. Also don't get me started on the coffee you were drinking but I don't want to go there I'm trying to not be mean.
MB provided the backpack for OP...

If I was required to text that much with MB during the day, I would definitely ask for a work phone, but especially if their kids caused an accident and they didn't even offer to help get it fixed.

Calm down, OP! I am so very sorry that the world does not agree with you all of the time. But grow up and get used to it.
I am a nanny and I and glad things worked out for you but you should not have had you phone out. Period. It is great that you have a generous MB. But she does not have to replace YOUR phone broken by YOUR carelessness.

If you're going to be using your phone that actively, and needing to put it out on surfaces like that, then get a good sturdy case w/ your next phone OP.

OP, I am sorry that you are getting all of this crazy advice for your question. You're absolutely right, a lot of the responses on here are just absurd.
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. It's hard to decipher real responses or just trolls. I usually only read here if I want a good laugh but figured I'd reach out for once. I mean If my child made something break due to not keeping his hands to himself I would pay for it

Lol ok,MB seems to disagree and knows her son shouldn't have been playing at the table while eating, and that the only reason it was out was because I was having a convo with her. But you can stay bitter about it lol
