My Kid Broke My SIL’s TV Screen, and I Was Ready to Pay for It — but Then She Demanded an Upgraded Version

My son accidentally broke my sister-in-law Dora’s TV while playing with her son. I immediately offered to pay for the same model, which cost $1,100. Dora agreed — then emailed me two days later demanding $2,500 for an upgraded version. When I refused, she threatened to sue me.

We went to court. I showed proof I offered fair compensation, including cheaper repair options. Dora acted entitled and rude to the judge. In the end, the judge ruled I only owed half the repair cost — about $200. And karma? Her new upgraded TV? Her own son broke it a month later. Poetic justice.
