Over the last 2 days my hardest dcb (almost 3) had done some damage around my home. Yesterday he was hitting a portion of my fence (admittedly a weak spot) and broke a good 3ft chunk off the horizontal board at the bottom of the fence.
I told dad I didn't expect them to pay (b/c it was a weak spot) but just wanted them to know because all the kids had been told over and over not to hit the fence especially at that part.
The 2nd incident was today and much more hurtful to me. I have the cutest wooden table with matching chairs that I got off CL for $50 (worth much more I'm guessing). He is always getting in trouble for laying on it or climbing on it. Today while I was setting up for nap he flipped it over and pulled on one of the legs and broke the whole thing off. I'm so sad and livid at the same time.
What would you do as far as expectations from the parents or does it just come with the territory?
