As parents, have you ever encountered this kind of heart-piercing situation: you spend a lot of money to buy a favorite for your child, but you are "destroyed" beyond recognition in the blink of an eye?
Recently, a netizen posted his daughter's water cup and asked everyone whether they should replace it or rescue it. This is just an ordinary water cup, which was just bought at the beginning of the school year, and has been used for just over a month, but it has become unrecognizable.
Looking at the mottled stains and wear on the cup, and then looking at the questions of netizens, one can't help but imagine a scene of a "desperate struggle" between children and the water cup: the cup is thrown to the ground and rolls hard, or the children kick it around as a ball... In short, miserable.
Soon, the ridicule and sarcasm of netizens were overwhelming in the comment area: "Is this the emperor's water cup? Only smart people can see it!" It's too expensive, the washing machine laundry detergent is useless at all, you have to use a brush and soap to brush hard. "It's not about the brand, it's about the child. "
Someone half-jokingly said that since the damage was so serious, it would be better to personally "greet" the factory and take the photos to complain for compensation. There are also people who bluntly say that there is no need to rescue at all, and a new cup must be replaced.
In fact, if you savor these ridicules and sarcasm, you will find that netizens are not all belittling "luxury" cups, but instead revealing a complex emotion between helplessness and pride.
We used to question why the children were so glued to the likes of eating, drinking, and having fun, and how the new clothes of the last semester were spoiled like this, but when we actually experienced it ourselves, we were relieved.
For children, getting their newly bought clothes or toys dirty and damaged seems to be a way to witness their own growth. As netizens said, this may be the school motto of "perseverance", where children are proving their abilities to adults.
What's more, this is how he was destined to be a child, eating, drinking, and lazing. How many times have we lost our temper with our children, only to be softened by their innocent smiles. Yes, how can they know what it means to cherish?
So when you see your child breaking a new toy, it's better to think about it from another angle: your child has learned to play; When you see your child soiling their newly bought clothes, think about how fortunate your child is exercising. After all, compared to the worse situation that other parents have encountered, you are relatively relaxed.
We were all "little monsters", and now we are destined to rack our brains against these "little monsters". We used to complain, but now we can finally smile. Yes, having children, that's what it is.
The parent who bought the water cup must have cried and laughed when he saw such a humorous ridicule from netizens. But even if you do need to buy a new one, it's not a big deal. After all, in a sense, children are so naughty and mischievous, it also means that they are thriving.
Therefore, dear parents and friends, the next time you encounter a similar situation, you might as well think about it from another angle: this is just a "scar" of growth, and it is the children who are proving to us that they have grown up. What's more, your child is already lucky compared to those who are weak and weak for various reasons.
Life is indeed short and precious, so of course we must teach our children to learn to cherish the grass and trees around them. But at the same time, we should know how to appreciate the innocence and vitality of children, and be sincerely happy and proud of it.
After all, as parents, our greatest happiness is to see our children show the vitality and vigor of life without restraint under the sun.
