Does anyone else feel like them or their house is cursed?

[inthedarkx]

I feel like either me of my house is cursed. Everything breaks in my house, for one reason it another!! Everything! Constantly have to replace things and it's making me so fed up! I now have insurance on my washer and cooker and freezer as they just kept going and now at least they can be repaired when they break and it won't cost me massifs amounts. Tablets or phones just get broke! The last straw was last night I found my iPad smashed, this was a good one which I got along side my phone contract as a deal ( so kids can do homework's and I can do all necessary things online) and it didn't have insurance on this ( yeah I know what an idiot I am) but I have so much to pay out I thought it would be fine.

So now that's gone! Will cost me too much to fix the screen as it's a 12.9 inch one and I think that'll cost quite a bit.
I dont know how it broke, I don't think the kids maliciously broke it probably ass an accident but it's the on thing I had left in here that's decent!

Feel so fed up and I just have nothing but hardship and bad luck and I'm Starting thing either me or this house is cursed or could be that I just hate This house so much !!!!

Sorry for the pity post

Get screen protectors for the phones & iPads, and don't leave them out. It wouldn't of just magically broken.

Yeah, it does feel at times like the world is against you, but appliances tend to have similar lives (5 years ish) and after that will tend to break all at the same time. So its not the world against you, its just that things grow old and break.

The broken iPad screen will have been the kids I'm afraid. They don't just smash on their own. I'd advise a cheap Android tablet or a chromebook (you can get kid friendly ones which are toughened). If they are young, then you can get a kindle tablet which is kidproof and comes with insurance in case they do manage to break it. Those are about £100 (or were last I checked).

Also, you are not an idiot for not insuring everything. I keep my ipad in my bedroom personally. Though I think they are overpriced and overrated personally. I dont know how old your kids are as I say, but if phones and tablets keep being broken, I'd keep them away from them. They are not good for kids to have anyway and the games on them can cause them frustration and they can end up throwing them away and they can smash. Anyway, good luck and look at those kindles. Ours survived the kids and is still alive. The kids do grow up to become more responsible. Ours haven't smashed their laptops yet! :)
