[QUOTE="Star*, post: 262075, member: 4964"] aero - I remember the days of broken everything, holes in the walls, toys torn up, bike smashed to bits, things broken all over the place. Finally I stopped repairing them, I stopped caring what anyone who came to my house thought abou the condition of my home. Either you're there to see me or the holes - you pick. I still have one broken item that was precious to me - a one of a kind keepsake from my Mom. It's a hand painted china tea cup and matching saucer. He broke the cup......twice. I glued it the first time. THe second time I just left it. Not too long ago he passed it in my house and said - "I thought you fixed that." I replied "I did, you broke it again." he looked at it, picked it up and said "Do you want me to fix it?" and I said - "Nope, I'll fix it when I am sure you won't break anything else - when I am sure, not you." After that got broken we packed up EVERYTHING that was special or keepsake and it's still in boxes in my spare bedroom today. I'm sure that doesn't bother DUde - out of sight out of mind.....and I've put cheaper dollar store/yard sale things out to make it not feel like a morgue - but that one tea cup /broken still sits. Maybe you should leave that one picture - [/QUOTE]
