mommyx4 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Editing the original post to nothing. I feel bad about saying anything negative about my neighbor. We are blessed to have kids next door for my kids to play with. I do think it's wise to not let them play on the trampoline, so thank you for your comments.

NorthwestMom Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I say go with your gut. I'd check with your homeowner's insurance, because I actually think you could be responsible whether they have insurance or not, but I htink the important thing here is that you have a bad gut feeling about their father. Always go with your gut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always go with your gut! This. Your homeowner's insurance would pay out. And sometimes, it's more than just the medical bills they pay.... people often go for 'damages', etc. We banned neighbor kids from ours after one boy (13 at the time) kept "falling out" of our trampoline through the net door. Once I saw that, I nixed anyone but my kids on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I agree that it doesn't really matter if they have health insurance or not. You could be held responsible either way. Their health insurance wouldn't happily pay up for a trampoline accident that happened at your house. Go with your gut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakarimom5 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 We used to have a trampoline and the neighborhood kids would come over every day. After weeks of telling them to jump one at a time we took down the trampoline for fear someone would get hurt. They haven't been back since. My children are sad about it but also feel used.

NotSoObvious Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 If I didn't trust the parents, I probably wouldn't be letting them play at my house, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
