You're at a friend's house and your kid breaks something that belongs to your hosts (here's the window pane on my back door that prompted this post).
The question is: what's the $ value threshold at which you:
- offer reimbursement
- insist on reimbursement
- demand that reimbursement be accepted
Are there mitigating factors such as:
- did your kid act alone?
- the socio-economic status of your hosts? of you?
As the father of a son who, most likely, will put me in this position, I am looking to better understand social convention and expectation.
