[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 11290, member: 3211"] Linda, Wow, 17 replacement pairs?? Eeek!! I guess you will have to replace them one more time and keep a tally of wm's reimbursement of the expense. I think it's a good idea! Our difficult child has had glasses for 4 years now and I don't know how, but he hasn't lost or broken a pair. We even got two years out of a set of frames once. I am amazed and hope that I haven't jinxed it by typing it out loud!!! If it's any consolation - I was mostly a easy child growing up, but HATED it when I had to get glasses. I had my first pair 2 days when I lost them. My poor mother took me to the high school where we transferred buses each day after school and we went through piles and piles of leaves, etc. We didn't find them and they had to go to the expense (which they could not afford, by the way) of replacing them. Less than a month later, I had laid my new glasses on the bench in the locker room while changing after gym and, yup - you guessed it, someone sat on them. I thought my Mom was going to pop her top. Needless to say, I was more careful after that - and don't even feel like I deserve a kid who actually takes care of his glasses, but I won't knock it. Hopefully, if wm has to pay for this pair, he will take better care of them. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
