[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 126733, member: 3647"] Well I don't think she allowed her to do it any more than you allowed her to break your ipod things. In both cases the child is not responsible. When her laptop was broken, So had really one choice and that was to pay to fix it herself. It's not like difficult child has that kind of money. Perhaps in the future she will learn not to let difficult child use expensive things. In the case of the ipod, it was YOUR ipod, and of course SO was trying to be responsible FOR her child, but again, the child does not have the money. I think I remember you saying that SO is depressed. If that is the case, it makes sense that she would just let these things go with difficult child rather than deal with them. Dealing with them takes energy, and if you are depressed, you really don't have that. [/QUOTE]
