Would you make your kids (who have money) pay for furniture they break while rough housing?

Asked by tranquilsea (17775points) October 12th, 2010

This is really driving me insane. My oldest son loves to rough house with his brother and sister. He often hurts them and breaks things around him. I have repeatedly told him to stop warning him that he’ll break things or hurt someone (duh).

Well, today he decided to give his sister a backwards shove, she grabbed him and they both tumbled into our piano bench breaking it.

They have both earned money that they have saved and I am seriously considering having them split the cost of the repair or replacement of the bench.

Would you do the same?
