MIL is a little livid right now. Pastor from her church that I detest with a passion, just came over. He drove his big honkin truck up into the yard. MIL had just paid a few weeks ago another $1000 to get the sprinklers all fixed and replaced. He just drove over one of the pipe and it broke and also drove over 3 sprinkler heads and smashed them. Now, he's claiming that he's not responsible, that if we had gone to church like we should he wouldn't have to drive over. HE only came to beg my daughter to come help out with Children's church. Daughter told him a flat out "NO!!!"

Kristina, get an estimate and file a claim in small claims court. The pastor will have to show up in court or you'll get a default judgement against him. Looks like his concern for his reputation would motivate him to clear it up quietly. You can probably can get a form at the small claims court. The clerks are generally kind about helping. They may be able to tell you where you can find a volunteer attorney. Courthouses usually have set time for a volunteer to answer questions.
Homeowners insurance should pay for it. And I think the insurance company will go after the pastor too.
MIL has decided to do nothing. She is having hubby fix it all this weekend. She feels that this Pastor can do no wrong. She was livid and very upset, but claims she prayed about it and decided to forgive him.
inmate23, I'm sorry that you're stressed out. You should be receiving support now. I can tell you that all new mothers-to-be worry about being a good mom. That's normal. Having a baby is a huge life change and it creates anxiety (in addition to joy). Talk to your partner about your hopes and fears. And don't let anyone suck the fun out of having your baby.

Only problem with that is it can cause their rates to go up.
That's part of why she wouldn't do that. Florida's rates are high enough.
However she shouldn't let him get away with that either! This is probably why he got that smug attitude cause he gets away with things like that just cause they think he's a great pastor..
