My son and his friends were playing in the garden at the weekend and one of his friends kicked the ball and broke our sitting room window. When we returned from shopping the boys mother came over and apologised and offered to pay for the damages but then said that maybe we could claim it on our house insurance.
This is new territory for me, I think if the shoe had been on the other foot we would pay to fix the window and perhaps dock our sons pocket money but I dont really now what the done thing is??
The cost to replace the window is going to be €340 and that is after ringing around loads of places. I want to be neighbourly but it is an amount that we just dont have at the moment. What would other people do in this situation??
Thanks.
