Yes, that's a good point too. I've had children break (on purpose) items but I've never thought to make the parents pay as I feel I should have been supervising better. One of my old dck's was sooo disruptive during nap and that's the reason Ive invested in 2 video monitors lol. Checking in on them 1-2x an hour wasn't enough with this child!

However, she has it in her contract so the parents should be prepared to pay if she asks. I do agree with another poster that it may be hard to make them pay though.

It really sucks though because it is a high ticket item!
