To put a passive aggressive post on Facebook because one of DC's friends knocked over my computer and (I think) smashed my Apple Watch during a sleepover!

[being40]

Just to say as can't be 100% sure as I didn't see it happen. But my DC had her friend over on Friday night. The friend is quite boisterous and at some point my computer charger was taken out of its socket (it was charging my laptop) and knocked over. At the same time my watch appears to have been stood on as cracks appeared the next day. I'm fuming but there's nothing I can do.
My DC wasn't sitting near the computer but the friend was. I only went to the shops (they are both 11) to get some breakfast.
Watch was a birthday/Christmas present from my DH!

Give yer head a wobble OP

YABU. You don't that it wasn't your kid. What would it achieve?Go and get it fixed and stop being daft.

Watch on floor during sleepover with boisterous child? Asking for trouble! Sorry, op, but YABU to post PA crap on Vaguebook and YABU not to take better care of your things in your house when you have other dc over.

What would be the point?

You were in charge your fault

Well there you go OP, absolutely none of these posters have EVER put a moany post on FB :')

And jaysus don't go all passive aggressive cos you're miffed at yourself and don't even get me started on this, what does this sentence even mean?

Not sure I would admit leaving someone else's 11yo home alone...

and don't even get me started on this, what does this sentence even mean?

I presume it means “you may be annoyed with yourself for leaving it on the floor but it’s no reason to be passive aggressive on Facebook”

YABU OP though, for leaving the watch on the floor and also not asking the friend about it at the time.

Do grow up!!!

How much would it cost to have it repaired? In the end, that might be the least stressful course of action.

Well there you go OP, absolutely none of these posters have EVER put a moany post on FB :')

Well i haven't. I don't even have Facebook.

However, I asked OP what the point would be, because it's not as if the 11 year old is going to see it. PA would have to reach the person to be PA.

Don’t be daft.

My son’s friend dropped a plate onto my brand new iPad and smashed the screen. 🤷‍♀️ Just one of those things.

Totally unreasonable OP.

And to the PP somewhere, I have never “put a moany post on Facebook” so I hardly think it’s implied that everyone has.

@being40 Pathetic. It's all your own fault for having all this oh so expensive stuff hanging about when kids were around.

We have some expensive stuff/collectibles/antique stuff, and it's locked away, and in a place where it can't be seen, let alone damaged.

Totally your own fault.

Also, YABU to have an apple watch. Overpriced gadget that serves no purpose.

You are entirely to blame for this. You left two 11 year olds unsupervised and didn’t even take care to put away valuable and fragile objects.

You also only have your DDs word for it that the friend is to blame. My mum also loved to blame , shame and punish people when anything went awry or got broken and so on the rare occasions when the misfortune actually was my fault I would tell every lie I could to avoid her anger.

Seriously. I'd be interested to hear why you think it would serve any purpose at all.

Oh me too, I'd love to know why some people do this.

Well there you go OP, absolutely none of these posters have EVER put a moany post on FB :')

Is that surprising to you? I have around 300 friends on FB and I can only think of 1 that does this.

and don't even get me started on this, what does this sentence even mean?

I presume it means “you may be annoyed with yourself for leaving it on the floor but it’s no reason to be passive aggressive on Facebook”

This made me laugh, you said exactly what I was thinking!

What are you hoping to achieve with this Facebook nonsense !

What do you hope to achieve by putting it on FB? Genuine question, what purpose will it serve ?

Maybe your DC's friend was making an anti-capitalist statement. You should make a congratulatory post on Facebook IMO.

And then delete your FB account!

At 11 I would expect the child to know better

Also, Your post reminds me why I absolutely hate FB.

You shouldn’t have left your watch lying around, anyone could have knocked it over/stood on it.

My dd has a friend who’s a bit hyper and clumsy, I always make sure anything expensive is put out the way before he comes over, and I keep an eye on him (tell him off if I need too).

Why not just ask friend's mother if her daughter knows what happened to computer and watch?
