“You’ll understand when you’re older”… I’m older & still don’t understand

I had an attitude yesterday and no one whooped my ass. I was just able to wait it out until I was in a better mood

when my kids break glass. I YELL "STOP!!! DON'T MOVE" as I run from my room. and my husband comes running. we both help clean it up, giving the kid a clear path to get out, so they don't get hurt. they are older now, but we still help them. i would rather help clean the glass vs let them get poked. often times they are trapped and surrounded by glass with no path to a broom or trash can. for a time we removed all glass dishes(plates/bowls/cups at least) from rotation because it was a hazard) but now they are mostly older, rhey have them back. as we got them for free. the other dishes went missing(kids tend to throw dishes away....) same for other stuff. it is heart breaking when they purposely break my stuff(yeah, they get mad and will take scissors and will destroy things of mine or dad's or each others.... they are special needs kids, some with emotional regulatikn issues) but you get over it. I try to teach them, over and over, to respect their own and others property, and each others(and their own) bodies(and minds), its an on-going lesson. they are very kind, polite, helpful children. but accidents happen, outbursts happen, moods happen, everyone has their moments, even adults with no special needs or emotional issues, forgiveness and trying again is the key for kids to learn how to grow up and be functionl adults who will be kind and caring to everyone. also yay for thrifting. its how we get most our stuff. buy nothing groups, hand me downs, thrifting, clearance if we buy new, and rarely we will buy new we try to use coupons but sometimes we pay full price.... we have a ton of kids and it costs a lot to raise them, especially with a lot of breakage, they are able to do whatever they want to their furniture and walls, they have free reign over their stuff, but they do damage a lot of the family items(not necessarily on purpose, used items wear down faster, and/or disabilities and special needs can cause dexterity or other issues and cause dropping/breaking or other ways of damaging items quicker)

Yes! I try and parent with “natural consequences” you made a mess so you have to clean before you keep playing.

it makes me even angrier for my childhood because when my kid breaks something or spills something, I can so obviously tell that it was an accident. like duh of course she didnt mean to break her toy, she loves her toy. of course she didnt mean to spill juice on the floor, she wanted to drink it. so I can't even feel anger at all because im too busy sympathizing with my kid too. we clean up the mess together, talk about how we can avoid it next time, and move on. it has never been that serious to me.

My son legit breaks something maybe once a month. I never make it a big deal. It’s never that serious. I would have been cursed out so bad.

Hurting your child in response to an ACCIDENT is always crazy to me because when they grow up it’s not a natural consequence, it doesn’t communicate anything about the actual problem, and it’s like. What have we achieved

Every comment section with a kid making a mistake is full of people saying the parent should beat them, pictures of belts, etc…. Don’t have children if you can’t control your emotions. You wouldn’t want it done to you as an adult and I’m sure you didn’t like it as a kid.

I let my daughter make messes and have accidents… then I teach her how to clean it without causing a scene. It’s almost like it’s not a big deal because messes can be cleaned, broken things can be fixed and replaced, and the world will keep on spinning

The other day I drank all the juice myself straight out of the bottle. My partner just went to the store to get more because I asked. No yelling. I wasn’t called “disrespectful” I was thirsty and we just got more juice.

I drop a pan in the sink the other day while washing dishes and no one came screaming out of nowhere and started hitting me for being to loud. Insane.

Adults KNEW this, too. Like, we were little kids, but they were our age when they were taking off their belts and beating 7 year olds over apple juice.

Violet (THEY/THEM) :
This is one of the things I love about living on my own as an adult. I feel an urge to panic and cry and then I remember that there is no punisher in my house, the glass is broken I just sweep it up and move on.

.m.461 :
At my daughters bday party last year (13) one of the girls dropped her cup of bright red fruit punch on the brand new white carpet that was installed 3 days before. She froze and started sobbing apologizing and freaking out. Her reaction shook me, I just kept telling her it’s okay, accidents happen!, we got carpet that cleans easily and even if it didn’t it’s right at the door I’ll put a rug down! Apparently later that night she told my daughter “you are so lucky to have a chill mom, mine would’ve beat me till I couldn’t sit.” My daughter came to me confused as hell “mom why would someone beat their child over an accident?” I had no answer for her because no answer exists that would make any sense or be reasonable. The carpet didn’t stain either expect a little but right at the seam where it meets the front door, I’m keeping it as a reminder to myself that nothing is worth watching a child become scared and sob.
