Would You?

Well obviously that makes you jealous and petty!! ::

I guess I am jealous of my kids with no hats and gloves for playing in the snow today since I am irritated about them not having them .

Years ago I had a child get a big stain of baby food peach on a really nice outfit and the mom was really sad. I didn't know it would leave a permanent stain. She let it go but I felt bad about it. Now I tell parents not to send there kids in the brand new clothes from the grandparents or a very favorite outfit. Hopefully they will be understanding. Let us know what happens.

Agreed.

In the OP's cause, I do think it was the OP's responsibility. While I agree, I didn't have to pay for the earring, I wanted to. I thought of how I would feel if someone just said to me "Not my problem". I always think of if I would want to be treated that way or my family. The insurance would have gone up. This is just a classic do unto others. It's ok to treat other people anyway. Nothing is ever your responsibility, but the shoe wouldn't feel good on the other foot. I've read here before and sometimes I wonder (besides for a very few posters) if the posters here truly love children and their families.

I see it the same way and would do the same.
