Think the point is "Listen here bucko life's tuff, be careful"

Nope. I disagree wholeheartedly. The scenario I painted in my tweet most certainly does not have a “life’s tough” moral lesson. They broke a plate.

I remember breaking a plate this Christmas and just staring for a minute, like.. why was this a punishable act when I was little?

I feel pained in retrospect.

Right! So someone was just hitting me/yelling at me/making serve punishment over this NON-ISSUE. Damn.

My first plate breaking experience as a child, I broke 5 plates at the same time. I asked my mom, "why are you shouting, have I broken plate in this house before?" A slap should have followed but surprisingly she laughed.

I’ve done that with my mum lately like mummy would I EVER do this on purpose? Why are you angry? Like who in their right mind would just go and break 5 plates at a time. Clearly an accident. Parents need to calm the fuck down.

This is so valid. If my mother smacked the shit out of my every time I broke a plate while washing dishes I would probably be dead. Just correct kids and show them the right way to do things. I promise they are eager to learn how to not disappoint

This! Teach them how to do it and every time they’ll come running like see I kept the plate without breaking it! People really like to act like kids are morons.
