it is my fault

[Anonymous]

Hi,
Would you please help me with these?

[1] Which choice is the correct and natural?
- Yesterday someone broke into our home; my family are saying [______]
1. it is my fault for not locking the window.
2. it was my fault for not locking the window.
3. it is my fault for having not locked the window.

[2] Can we omit "for" here? If so, which is common, with or w/o "for"?
- It was your fault (for) not listening to the announcement.

[3] Would you please check if these are correct?
1-1. It was your fault for not backing [them, the data] up.
1-2. It is your fault for having not backed [them, the data] up.
2. It is/was your fault for mispelling - a spell checker doesn't do everything!
3. It was your fault for not putting the lid (on it).
4. Maybe it was your fault for putting your book on a crappy table.
5. It's pretty much your fault for not being smart enough to know that.

6-1. It was your fault for acting that way - you asked for it.
6-2. It was your fault for (acting) the way you did - you asked for it.
7. I don't think it's your fault for what your kids think.

Thanks a million.

1. it is my fault for not locking the window. (OK).
2. it was my fault for not locking the window. (OK).
3. it is my fault for not having <strike>not</strike> locked the window.

[2] Can we omit "for" here? If so, which is common, with or w/o "for"?
- It was your fault (for) not listening to the announcement. (Include for).

[3] Would you please check if these are correct?
1-1. It was your fault for not backing [them, the data] up. (OK).
1-2. It is your fault for not having <strike>not</strike> backed [them, the data] up.

6-1. It was your fault for acting that way - you asked for it. (OK).
6-2. It was your fault for (acting) the way you did - you asked for it. (OK. The meaning changes when you omit "acting." I then understand it as: ...the way you did something).
7. I don't think it's your fault for what your kids think. (OK).
