to think my overweight sil is out of order for breaking my dd's 100pound rocking horse

[bodybag]

yes she actually started riding my dds mamas and papas beautiful rocking horse and shes gone and broken it.

[FabioVicePeeperPlopper]

Have you asked her how she will be replacing it?
Tell her she can order a new one direct or send you a cheque or cash the big fatty

[SixSpotBurnet]

No, you are not being unreasonable at all! What a bizarre thing for an adult to do...

I hope she's going to get your dd a new one.

[GordonTheGopher]

Sorry I know this isn't supposed to be funny but .

And yes she should pay for it.

[compo]

poor thing, I bet she is mortified!

[Dropdeadfred]

has she coughed up?

she probably would have broken it even if she wasn't over weight

[chapstickchick]

Was she riding it....seriously ???

Yes of course she should pay- is it irreparable??

[mamadiva]

I know this must be mortifying for your sister but PSML here seriously.

Yeah she should pay for it and then go into hiding LOL, nah just make it into a quick joke then forget about it.

[JulesJules]

Was she pretending to be a famous showjumper? That is what my sister and I used to do - when we were six

Seriously, bet she is mortified! Of course she must get your dd another one.

(Shame you didn't get pictures...)

[Saturn74]

Oh dear.
Surely she offered to replace it or pay for a new one?
If not, you need to ask her when she'll be doing so.

[cupsoftea]

email her the info on how to replace it

[mrsalansugar]

She's an adult and shouldn't have sat on it, her weight is immaterial. She should have offered to pay for it to be repaired or replaced, in the absence of this offer your dh should ask her to replace it.

[bodybag]

well dd wasn't too keen on going on it and she sat on it and started riding it to show dd what to do.

she has also sat on dds wheely bug and gone all over the room on that too

[bodybag]

she said she thought it would be better quality than that!

[Dropdeadfred]

is she paying for it or not?..that's the real question

[barbiehouse]

sounds like she's trying to be a really fun auntie for your dd though, so don't be too harsh!

[Majeika]

how overweight is she?

poor rocking horse

[bodybag]

shes a ten ton tess

she has not offered yet, i have not asked yet going to give her chance to offer, if she doesnt them i'll tell her.

[sameagain]

Would you be so annoyed if it was your sister rather than your SIL? Or a friend visiting you with her DC's? I find the whole in-law thing magnifies the extent of the crime IYSWIM

I've ridden on kids toys before now, to play with them (the DC's), sounds like she was being nice to me, but if it's really irreparably damaged, she should replace/deal with M&P's to have it replaced.

[monkeymonkeymonkey]

She should pay for replacement/repair for it.
What adult would think a childs rocking horse would support them?

[bodybag]

an idiot.

it would be the same whoever broke it.

just i know she won't be able to afford to replace it as they are always skint.

[plantsitter]

I agree with KC. A rocking horse is a thing and your SIL is a person. Get some perspective.

[FabioVicePeeperPlopper]

If she were v slim and it broke, perhaps it wasn't well made.
The weight issue is relevant, Ithink.

[Cappuccino]

yes fabio I think you are right

I would think twice about climbing on a rocking horse and I am 12/14

of course weight is an issue, they are made for children. Light, portable little children

if a trim but tall and muscular fireman sat on one and it broke it would still be his fault
