Ok I need some real honest opinions and fast. What would you do in this situation? I have a close friend of the family his name is Greg. Now Greg is a grown man of 27 he has practically lived at our home many times and adventually became the boyfriend to my neice Tiffany. They moved to Florida and asked if I would send my kids to visit them for a couple of weeks so they could show them where they lived and take them to Disney. I agreed and bought the tickets for them to fly down there, I also sent money to Greg and Tiffany ahead of time so they could purchase food and other Disney tickets for them. My kids are 2 boys ages 17 & 13 and a girl 12. Before agreeing to this I repeatedly asked them if they were prepared to take on the kids for 14 whole days and that kids are kids even though they were all close to being teenagers they still need guidence. They assured me it would be a great time and they couldn't wait to have them. Well while they were there, their love seat mysteriously became squeeky. Not obviously broken but it started making a squeeking sound when sat on. After investigation of the front boad it appears to be loose from the fame. Greg immediatly called me complaining that my kids must of broken it but that him and Tiffany were taking a break from them up in there room so they were not certain just how it happened but that it had to be them because it was fine before they got there. I talked with the kids asking all sorts of questions to see what could have happened and it became obvious that they had no idea. All they new is that when Greg sat on it, it squeaked and he said they must have broke it. Now mind you all my children are very fit and all three together don't weigh as much as Greg. I would guess him at 325 or better. After a few days the subject was never brought up again. The kids came home having had a good time and Greg and Tiffany said all went well. Now three months later I get a text message from them that they called a furniture repair place and the love seat is estimated to cost $350 to get fixed and am I going to pay for it. Now to give you a little back ground on why this was so shocking to me. Greg has stayed at our home for weeks at a time, ate here, washed his clothes here, and made messes here without us ever asking him for anything. He has also broke his share of things from bending my daughters bed frame to braking the steel rod in one of our couches. Never intentional but his added weight does not exactly make him light on his feet. He is not muture for his age and most of the time does things that I would never expect from a man of 27, like through candy wrappers behind my couch. Of course he always blames these things on my kids even when caught. He has never held a job for more than 3 months and has worked for maybe a total of 2 years in his entire life. The love seat he wants me to pay to fix was one of the many many gifts given to him from his father. He has never had to be responsible for anything in his life and has had pretty much everything handed to him on a silver platter. Yet now he is saying I am being horrible for not accepting responsibility for his love seat that was "obviously" broken by my children. What would you do? Would you pay for it or would you tell him to jump?
