Woman's Bird Is Injured As A Result Of Her Mom's Negligence, Mom Refuses To Foot Vet Bill

We pet owners know that our pets are our babies, and there are very few people we trust to give them the care and attention they deserve adequately. When push comes to shove, sometimes we need to arrange for some last-minute pet care. OP is a hard-working young lady who, despite currently living with her mother, is saving up to move out and become an independent person. So naturally, she enlisted the help of her mother to keep an eye on her birds during an evening shift. 

Well, things did not go as smoothly as OP could have hoped. She received a frantic phone call from her mother who had let the birds out of their cage, against OP's instructions. One thing led to another and Luna, one of OP's birds, ended up flying into a ceiling fan. It would make sense in such a situation, for OP's mother to be extremely apologetic and offer to cover the medical costs of the bird's injury, considering it is entirely her fault. But alas, no such luck. OP's mom went so far as to make a joke about how she would not be covering the bill….hilarious. BUT! This thread, fortunately, had a happy ending, read on and all will be revealed!
