[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 368120, member: 8617"] Sorry about your bad luck. Total bummer! Glad it was the smaller of the break downs and not the whole deal. My difficult child used to be very "accident" prone except his accidents always seemed to happen with my stuff not his. hmmmmm?!?!? Problem stopped when I started making him replace things with his own money. (birthday and Christmas money saved in bank for a car) There were my very rare heirloom melon vines that he "accidentally" weeded out of the garden. 3 of husband's French press coffee makers. Plus dozens of other incidents... Several drinking glasses "slipped", until we replcaed all our glasses with a mix of collectible glasses from the 70's and 80's. Now when he breaks an "Indiana Jones" glass or a "Battlestar Galactica" glass we all almost cry because they are impossible to find and so much fun to use. As for locks, *sigh* we have them and we kick ourselves for forgetting to use them once in a while. It's not fun feeling like we live in a prison but it feels a lot better than when we have our privacy violated or something goes missing. No insurance for all the aggravation. [/QUOTE]
