damage to car

8 replies

dd aged 8 was riding her new bike in our cul de sac on the road. I was supervising her. She had been told to be careful of the cars but accidently hit one of our neighbours car causing some damage. I let the neighbour know and offered to pay for repair if necessary. Really hoping it isn't but dd knows she will have to pay out of her pocket money if needed.
The issue I have is whether to tell dh bearing in mind that he could find out. Dd really doesn't want him to know as he is inclined to overreact to things such as this.
WWYD?

if you're scared of telling your husband about an accident then i think you have bigger fish to fry quite frankly!

but yes, i think you should mention it in case it costs a lot to repair

I don't have a problem telling him. However, dd is anxious which of course does worry me

I would tell him before a neighbour does.

What does "he is inclined to overreact to things such as this"?

bemybebe · 23/05/2012 18:39

oops
What does "he is inclined to overreact to things such as this" actually mean?

Will probably shout but may be wrong. May be ok.

I don't understand why you would consider NOT telling him.

I would, without hesitation, tell DH about anything significant that happened to the DC or to me.
