    I didn't say kids can/should play on the street in today's environment, I just meant that it's sad that we've become so car centric that it's not possible.

    You'd couldn't let a 4 year old play on the road today...

    Exactly at what point in history WAS it a good idea to let a 4 year old play on a road? :S
  • I wouldn't of been happy either especially since it was parked on a private driveway.

    What happened to respecting other people's property nowadays ?

    Have you ever tried to explain that to a 4 year old?

    In any case, it was an accident. Accidents happen.
  • Change of plan.......
    She came and spoke to my husband and said her mate will T-cut it for £30:j

    Have no idea why the change of plan on her part-maybe she didnt fancy the home insurance route??

    Either way its done and dusted-thanks for replies x

  • Dont think lack of respect has anything to do with it....

    The little one is 4 years old and she had an accident... Same as hundreds of other people do day in day out but with vehicles... She never set out on her bike to ram the neighbours car did she?

    Have a Hug.....:grouphug:

    Glad to hear it's done and dusted. Perhaps after she'd calmed down a bit and was in a more resonable mind, her mate persuaded her that all that was really necessary was for the scratches to be T-Cut (and prob advised her to expect a few more scratches over time on the car ... they happen no matter how careful you are - stones on the road etc etc)

    She DOES respect other peoples property but it was an accident. Nothing malicious at all.

    Think the change of plan is due to an overnight calm down and acquisition of a sense of proportion.

    Definitely go round with the cash, flowers/wine and DD in tow as you’ve had a result on this one
  • Cash already been exchanged(sorry Milkman you will get paid next week!!).
