I can still hear my mom saying " I can't keep anything nice around here you guys are always breaking things." Ha ha makes me laugh because sometimes I think the things the boys do are just payback for what I did to my parents. Honestly, I can remember breaking so many things and every time saying " I didn't mean to."
I caught myself saying exactly what my mom used to say to Ted today. For some reason the boys have been breaking EVERYTHING.. I wonder if we can go a day without having to put something on the replacement list.. We have to replace a window that Devin broke about 3 weeks ago, Brody broke a tail light on the boat trailer, Both boys have now kicked something into the regular trailer and the tire went flat twice, balls, picture frames, toys, bikes.. Seriously the list goes on. I am going crazy over here and wondering when this will end.. Probably never though because I feel like Ted breaks just as many things as the boys do.
Thankfully its nothing big (knock on wood) and they are things that we can replace. As frustrating as it is I know they boys arent doing these things on purpose. However, I do know that I will no longer replace things that are carelessly left out and broken. Maybe that will help them take care of their belongings.
I feel much better now that I vented about it.. Im sure so many of you parents can relate!
