Damaged caused by children under 16? |
My husband and I have his two children by a previous marriage. They are visiting for the summer and the oldest is eleven . She was riding her bike after we told them not to ride by the cars to close and she scraped my 90 buick lesabre. We have an estimate on the damage of about $500.00. We are paying up front, but she we ask the biological mother ro pay on some of this damage? The Insurance deductible is $500.00. The damage is around $525.00 No you should not ask the mother to pay anything. She is your husbands child and she was on your watch. It was an accident, don't be too mad at the child. I understand $500 is alot of money, but really the mom had nothing to do with it. no she had nothing to do with it.it was just an accident. No right to ask her mother to pay for it. YOU are the ones who were not properly supervising her. The mother will probably refuse to pay, since you and your husband were in charge of her at the time. This can be a good time for her to start learning consequences to her actions. How about making her do some extra chores to "pay off" the part of the debt? I'm not sure of your question. However, I don't think you should ask her mother. It was your car and assuming it was at your house. If your car was at HER house, then yes perhaps you may want to talk to her. I say that you make your daughter work off the damage. Do chores, babysit, return bottles/cans, either way she needs to learn a lesson. Nope.....you were the acting guardian when it happened. She wasn't willfully tresspassing she was welcomed, so you have no business asking her biological mother for money for YOUR repair. I guess it pays to pay attention. No, you should not ask for any money from the mother. The children were in the care of their father and you, which makes both of you responsible for the damage. |
