I was hanging with my brother and my niece, she can be a handful and is full of energy. We needed to get her dressed so my brother asked me to help and hold her. I did so and she hit my two front teeth breaking them all the way to the gum. I went to my dentist and it appears the teeth cannot be saved and need implants. They will cost around 7.5k plus 1k for the temporary. I told my brother I will pay it but he will have to pay me back.
He said that is unreasonable he can barely stay afloat with his kid and his own expenses. I am not exactly well off either, I am charging the work on my credit card. Insurance does nor cover adult implants, they are considered cosmetic. My mom told me to stop being petty and just leave it.
Am I really in the wrong for expecting my brother to pay me back for what his kid did?
Apologize for typos and spelling errors on my phone and in a bunch of pain.
