He was going to pay for the new roof.

My son doesn’t think he should be held responsible when he ‘accidentally’ does damage to the house. He thinks that since he lives with us, we should pay for everything. Last year, my husband and I were at the shore on the 4th of July. My son, being twenty-five, should have been capable of staying home alone. He wasn’t a teenager, and we thought he could be an adult. We were wrong. He invited a bunch of people to our house, and they were setting off fireworks. No one was watching where they were landing after going off in the air, but we knew where they landed. Our neighbor and best friends called to tell us the fire company was at our house. The fireworks landed on the roof of the house and set the shingles on fire. Luckily, they had all our information and called us right away. I called our son and told him to call the insurance company, but he waited until we got home. I had to have a new roof on the house, and he was lucky the fire company was only two blocks away, or the house would have burned down. I told our son he was going to pay for the new roof. He insisted the insurance company would pay for the roof, but I shook my head. The insurance company was going to sue him for the damage if it was up to me. He should have been more careful. Since the police already knew what happened, they wrote our son up for the damage and shooting off fireworks within the town’s limits, which was a definite no-no. He couldn’t believe we were going to make him reimburse the insurance company for the new roof.
