We got a beautiful new kitchen table last year and now it is imprinted with cuneiform marks from children pressing down HARD on their writing without using a pad underneath and I might have said something passive aggressive like "No no, it's *my* fault for thinking we should have nice things before the kids go to college."

We bought a super cheap couch when my oldest was 2 in hopes that it would last long enough that we could buy a real couch by the time they were old enough to not destroy it. Whelp NO. The cheap couch frame cracked this year, so we were forced to replace it. We got a real couch, but turns out that 2 year old is now 12 and has adhd which manifests as lots of spilled drinks and not being careful with food. IтАЩm not about to ban eating on the couch so that is why we now have a nice couch that is covered in all the old quilts we own. The 12 year who is the messy one and the reason the couch is covered has requested for a тАЬspecial Christmas treatтАЭ that we uncover the couch!
