I'm going to probably get a lot of flack for this. But I don't allow my friends or relatives with children into my home. I have a home full of expensive collectibles and if one gets broken I would absolutely expect the thousands of dollars it costs to replace. So the rule is, no children in my house. We can hang out somewhere else.

If its in a child's reach its for the child. I dont blame anyone but myself for leaving something I cared about in reach of a child. They will eventually learn, but in the mean time, its my responsibility to keep my belongings and the child safe. If my house isn't child friendly then we dont have kids at the house.
Most children touch out of curiosity, not malice. Showing them the important items and letting them get their curiosity satiated will help prevent them from touching things.

Mistakes happen and children can’t take responsibility but it doesn’t just not exist…it’s transferred to the parent… it’s the first law of parental mechanics! Responsibility cannot be created or destroyed

True story, my son broke someone's water globe at our community garden, I immediately reached out, apologized to the owners and offered to replace the damaged item( they weren't concerned) but I graded the price off of Amazon and my son did extra chores to fund that replacement. Do accidents happen? absolutely. Treat them as lessons and teach your children to fix their mistakes. That's why youre their parent.

Saying "accidents happen" doesn't make the issue or broken thing fixed btw. Yes I understand an accident but it's still broken. "Sorry" doesn't just make it go away you have to actually follow up with actions

I mean as a kid my parents had shelfs of ceramic and fragile knickknacks. You know what my parents did? Taught me from a young age that those are collectibles and they are for looking not touching.

genuinely what is with parents nowadays. I vividly remember breaking my aunt's snowy owl snow globe. it was an accident, i felt awful for it, she wasnt even mad at me for it, just upset that her snow globe was broken, and my parents gave her the $80 it cost to replace it. YEARS later, still feeling guilty about that damn snow globe, I bought her a handcrafted snow globe while I was in germany.

I was raised to pay for anything that broke because of me and that extended to people I’m responsible for if you have a child you are responsible for that child if that child break something you’re responsible to pay for that I would ask money for it too

Every single time my children broke something by accident the first thing out of my mouth was " Are you ok? Did you get hurt?" I wanted them to know that they were more important than any object. Then we would discuss what happened, if it could have been avoided and what can we learn from this.

The parent should offer to replace it first that small act of kindness and validation is enough to typically make a person go “its okay dont worry about it”

Even if it is replaceable. Should still teach your kids to respect other people's stuff. I collect retro games that are supposed to be played with and I'm not bothered letting kids play with them. But I had a friend who's daughter got frustrated and threw the controller and when I said "okay. we're done playing the game" he said "it's just a controller, what they're like 20-30 dollars?" and I said "yes, but there's a limited number in the world being out of production for 30 years. I can't go back to 1990 and get as many as I want."

Years ago. When I lived with my grandparents. My brother just had his baby, I didn’t want her in my room at all. Not because I don’t like kids but because I had things that mattered to me. My brother, the baby mama & my grandma, all ignored my wishes. Letting her touch everything. She immediately ended up breaking something I hand made myself. It was my pride. It came out perfect, I loved it.. it eventually kept getting broken because people didn’t respect my boundaries.

If my kid broke something I’d offer to replace it, I didn’t think that was a weird concept.
