we went to a dollar store and told our 2 daughters they could each get a book. the oldest dropped a glass ballerina doll and i told her that she needed to take her money and pay for it. i thought it was the responsible thing to do. the cashier was mortified that i did this! what the heck is this world coming to??? i was trying to teach her that you pay for what you break. the cashier didn't make her pay and we left her get a book? at the end we had her tell the cashier sorry again and thank you.

I have done the same thing too! and the store also refused to take my money! It was kind of them don't get me wrong, but it still does not teach the child anything in the long run when it will count. But we can't knock hello on their head with our closed fist because they just won't pay attention.

I always offered to pay - but management wouldn't take it, but they understood where I was coming from. You did the right thing in offering to pay.

actually, you are never required to pay for something that is broken in a store. They have insurance to cover that.

if it was an accident i don't think so..maybe it depends on how old they are..but i suppose if you want to teach honest ][which is great] you can try if they accept it reward your child for being so honest.
