Who's fault is it?

3SnuggleBunnies. .. all I can say is that a mans work is from sun to sun but a mothers work IS NEVER DONE. sorry to tell you that even if you are right (and 9.999999 times you will be right) it will be always be your fault . . Try to think of it this way . our brain is a house . .and in this house a female goes from the laundry room to the kitchen to the bedroom and then to the kids room and then back again to the kitchen and so on .. while a man only knows how to find the den! Smile, be happy and count your blessing . . all of you are healthy . .a computer can always be fixed or replaced:)

It's no one's fault. Things like this happen when you have a 20 mo's old around the house. It's both your responsibility and your husband's to learn from incidences such as these in order to prevent them in the future. Sorry about the lap top though. That really sucks :(

HI, it is hard to blame one of you. As you being a mom and a wife is hard cuz you do many works at the same times. For this point, I could blame both of you; why? Because, 1. you put your son in the high chair then you have to be careful with anything around him, such as lap top or other stuff that close to his hands. 2. your husband should put it a side or where is secure to put. 3. you can't wait your husband to tell you what to take or what to put away. as you a housewife, you should be aware it all the time. 4. You husband is also busy, and lap top should not be in the kitchen either. Sorry if I give some negative advice. I have been in that situation and my husband can't blame me cuz of that either. If I accident broke his laptop then I feel sorry for that but if he put it there, and that it is not support to be there then he has to accept it. Another thing, you two should not fight cuz of a little thing. You can replace a lap top but you can't replace the feeling good about each other. if it broke, get a new one (not a big deal) mini lap top is only $300 and thing will solve.

Oh no! That's not good. We all know men are the opposite of responsible! My hubby and I sometimes talk about me going out to work and him staying home.. but I know that would never fly! He'd never be capable of doing the things I do around here. I don't know forsure who's fault it is, but I don't think it matters now. Is the laptop broken? Do you have to replace it or fix it? If not, no harm done, just be more careful. If so, then worry about getting that done and not trying to place blame. Placing blame never solves or helps anything.

Think of it this way: would you have NOT moved a cup of hot coffee or a burning candle out of reach?? Would have left something of your own that was breakable within reach of your son? Sounds like you're both at fault but neither wants to admit it. It also sounds as if you left it there on purpose just because you were annoyed that he didn't put his 'toy' away. You both need to help each other out more without blaming one another for such petty things.

You guys should stop playing the blame game, in my opinion your both at fault, he may not have put it away when im sure he knows full well your son likes to fling things, but on the other hand, I am sure you know aswell that your son likes to filing things, and when you put him in the highchair you did not move the laptop out of your childs reach.

It’s the baby’s fault ! LOL. Hope you can patch up things.

just relax, friend. being a mother is a very exhausting job and from the looks of it, you are having a gruelling experience. this is just one of those accidents which occur in unfortunate circumstances. but if i had to blame someone, it would be your husband because he should be taking better care of his laptop and putting it away carefully after use. i am sure you did not seat your son next to it intentionally. but do be careful next time.

Sounds like everyday life.Everyone has incidents like this. You both had a momentary lack of concentration - him for leaving it lying around/cooking whilst the baby was on the loose and you for not noticing it was within baby's reach. You share responsibility for the child but not for the laptop. Anyway, it was only a laptop and not a carving knife and no harm befell the baby so there's nothing to blame anyone for. You can always buy another laptop - if you have accidental cover on your home insurance that should be covered.

It's the kids fault lol :D Seriously, I don't think it's anyone's fault, just a lapse of judgment on both sides maybe but nothing worth fighting over.

If I was putting the child in the highchair once I did that I would have moved the lap top. To me its just common sense, I wouldn't wait for someone to tell me to move it, plus he was cooking. Put the baby down and move the lap top no big deal.

Bad luck for such thing happened to you. But it's not time to blame whoever is wrong about it. The most important things you have to do is find a way which can avoid such things alike happen again in life ahead, and never get hurt on your baby for your carelessness. I think you'll pay more attention to your child since then, cos the "toy" is a little expensive.

hmmmmm u better watch your lap top carefully, or stay away from children

You are both at fault. It may not have been "your job" to move it, but supervising your child IS. You should have made sure that nothing was in his reach, whether it was your hubby's plaything or not. My main concern is the fact that the child was in the high chair to begin with, being that he wasn't being watched when the laptop hit the floor. What if it was your child that had fallen while you both had your backs turned? A high chair is for supervised eating, not a place to stick your kid when you don't feel like keeping up with him!

i think it is little bit of both of you guys.1.)for not putting it up before cooking,and you for not moving it a way from the baby before you put him in the high chair.

this si so typical men, put their things where it should not be.And to tell some one els to do stuff for them, is so typical. My son has his things all around the house, and when I clean, I clean. And when his stuff are cleaned away He get angry with me for putting them together and in his roome. Well, if there are things they are worried about, they should not be around kids should they. It is his own fault. Your hubbie should know better then have things around them.

You are not going to win this argument! No matter how "enlightened" men become, women are responsible for the children and that's that. Why was the lap top in the kitchen?! I know, it's portable and supposed to go everywhere, but the kitchen is a dangerous place for something like that--liquids, grease, spills, falls, etc. Tell him he needs to treat his toy like he would his son--assume the worst can happen and take steps to prevent it. Tell your husband you're sorry that you didn't think to move the stupid thing. I don't care what anyone says, when a woman is married she automatically has a child. Any progeny the couple produces are just extra siblings.

Hi 3SnuggleBunnies, I think both of you are at fault, he may not have put it away when im sure he knows full well your son likes to fling things, but on the other hand, you know as well that your son likes to fling things, and when you put him in the high chair you did not move the laptop out of your childs reach.

that thing most important to your hubby,and why not he himself move the lap top to others place..for me your hubby 99.9% to blame..

Actually, you should not blame each other arguing on whose fault it was. Well, it was a fault more from his side. He should not have left his laptop in that place or should have moved it a bit. What's gone is gone! Just be more careful next time and sort this with him calmly.
