You are the judge: Should my daughter be paid in exchange for the vase that she broke in the Villa of Holidays? | family
Prosecution: Marilyn
Condemned She is 24 years old – if she commits a chaos, she needs to clean it by herself. Let this be an educational experience
On the 10 -day summer vacation, I booked and paid the price of the Airbnb Villa in Malta. In total, he cost 1100 euros for our four -person family: My husband Derek and our children, Danny, 24, and Jimmy, 19. Danny came for four days and the rest of us remained in its entirety.
We spent a great time, but Danny and Jimmy left their part of the villa in complete chaos, and I only discovered after we left. Danny had her own wing, which I did not verify, and after we arrived at home, I received a message from the host. Send pictures of her room, with garbage bags and crumbs throughout the table and broken vase. You did not tell us about the vase. I discovered only from the host.
There were 100 pounds of cleaning fees listed in the reservation, but they said that only covered basics such as washing beds and floors cleaning. It does not cover the damage, so additional fees were imposed on 50 pounds sterling to God the broken property.
Danny says I had to conflict with her, but I just wanted to get it. I told her that the procedures have consequences, and asked her to pay the additional fees for the fracture. She did, but now she says we should get to know the charge through Airbnb.
Danny said that she broke the vase by chance, which I think, of course. But at the age of twenty -four, she is no longer a child. If you make a chaos, you are cleaning after yourself. Jimmy also left his room in a state of chaos, but he did not break anything.
Danny is a working girl, so her request to pay is not a big deal. This is what you mean to be an adult: you contribute fairly, and take responsibility when tampering. I should not check my old children when we go away. We paid the price of the holiday to show us some gratitude. I will not bear the cost of their mistakes.
I think this is related to more than money – it is related to respect and responsibility. This trip was organized to bring us together as a family, but instead I finished embarrassing the host’s complaint and attached to an additional invoice.
Defense: Danny
We have already paid cleaning fees, why should we face additional fees? Airbnb must recover
I stayed in Malta for four nights and really enjoyed our family holiday. But I don’t think I should have paid the price of the broken vase, and now I am trying to recover my money. My mother does not agree.
I did not read through the villa’s policy when I arrived, as I was late, but if I had, I would have taken care of more care. She left some garbage in bags in the room and knocked on the vase on the second day. I tried to get rid of it. I didn’t know that the villa would be very strict.
In addition, Villa had already had a compact £ 100 cleaning fee, as most Airbnb properties do. This is what it is: garbage, crumbs, dishes and accidents. No airbnb is not delivered back. The idea that I need to pay more, in addition to that, is ridiculous because these are normal holidays.
I pushed my mother when I asked, as my father told me “Preserving peace.” But now I would like to be returned on the platform, while my mom believes that we should leave it. I am stubborn and I want to challenge it to prove that I am right. We are on a dead end.
I am grateful to my mother and my father to take me on vacation, but they seem to be very anxious about things like this. They just want to sweep everything under the carpet, while I will intend to pay Airbnb.
What really frustrates me is that my mom turned this into a kind of life lesson. I do not say that I should not contribute – I will pay happily for the time I stayed there – but I do not think that additional fees, or a lecture for being irresponsible. I left the villa in a normal state, but now I must pay more than we expected – and the mother raises it. It seems as if to use money for a disabled.
On 24, I try to balance the rent, bills and work pressure. My mom can carry this trip more easily than I can, and I bid me and my brother. I was not inferred that there will be an invoice. It seems as if I learned a lesson after we went back to the house, and I don’t know what is really about it.

The jury for the readers ’readers
At the age of twenty -four, Danny is old enough to know better. Just because you paid cleaning fees, it does not give you to leave the place in advice – this is not respected. You should have up to the broken vase when logging out. It was a childish hide.
Zoe, 33
Danny left the villa in a state, shattered her room, broke the property of another person, and now she does not like the consequences. This may be an accident, but why should Airbnb be recovered when we are all responsible for our actions? All this comes to respect others.
George, 42
You break something, you pay it for that. Being an accident that has no effect on the result, and does not include broken cleaning fees. Danny must absorb and admit that she is wrong, and stops embarrassing her mother in order to prove her point of view.
Yana, 32
The coffee bowl was broken in the hut we stayed this summer. I was dismayed about it and paid for replacement, because that seemed to be the right thing to do. Perhaps this is something, or is Danny more discomfort than reprimanding more than the bill?

Which planet lives in Danny? How do you not expect to pay for something you broke? This is the home of another person, and the vase of another person. Replacing something broken indifferently, not what is the cleaning fee at all.
