An Ipad for a five year old ? I know adults who don ' t have those . It is not your fault . Keep repeating that to yourself until you understand and believe it . You didn ' t ask her to send it . She didn ' t ask you to watch it every minute . You didn ' t agree to that . No one should agree to that though even if asked . This might be stretching it but for all you know she sent it previously broken and she told him to toss it out the window with other toys so she could get you to buy a new one . Not real likely but I have heard stranger things . Send it back broken and let him tell her when he gets home . Don ' t make it your problem by feeling the need to call or text and get in a big argument . When she asks the boy what happened let him tell her her broke it . If she calls to complain , say the boy broke it himself . If she says why didn ' t you watch him , say you can ' t 247 and leave it at that .
