Silently raging

Buy her a tin mug 🤣

When I worked on Construction sites I either took a plstic or enamel mug. Those places are manic at tea times

Relationships with daughters can be much more fragile than china mugs (sadly I speak from experience).
I would buy myself a new mug Biscuitmuncher.
I can appreciate it has made you upset and I’m sorry for that.

My thoughts.
Relationships matter more than mugs, although I truly can appreciate the loss of something so special.

Dear Biscuitmuncher, is this about more than that particular mug? Is she somewhat careless of your feelings on other occasions?

Well done for your response, and consider if there are other matters you'd love to "mend"?

Just read this...😂😂😂

Do you have a photo of the mug. If you do you could Google Lens it, they usually come up with the same or something similar.

I would not be raging silently!
I have a cupboard full of cheap mugs and just a few posh ones which were expensive. If anyone chose to take one of the posh ones to a building site I'd be furious!

A mug, how expressonline , £4

Sorry about your mug getting broken, and I understand your annoyance, Biscuitmuncher, but it sounds like an accident, these things happen, and if you look up the make online, you might be able to source a replacement.

Despite your annoyance, I’m glad you are not venting to your daughter but doing it here instead.

I think this is where Gransnet is invaluable. We can come on here and vent our feelings over major or minor issues and nobody close to us gets hurt.

Thoughts and prayers with you at this difficult time 🙄

So funny

It may seem trivial to some but I would have been annoyed as well. I recently broke a mug that was my mum’s and she always used to make me a coffee in it when I visited. Silly to get sentimental over a mug but I was furious with myself.

My daughter used to take my mugs, but she always asked first.

And some will "empathise" Cossy.

It hasn’t annoyed me! It’s so good to have a place to rant, some will judge, most will emphasise and it often puts things in perspective!

I am having the worst of times right now but welcome lighthearted and silly stories. Bring them on please.

We all know Biscuitmuncher.
Just a space to roll our eyes!

Ooh Grammaretto I have a massive Scottish linen cupboard and also a nice school cupboard that would go perfectly with your lovely table and drawers!

Your cozy mug looks like a small jug my mother made in the 1960s which I managed to break on its way home from firing. I fixed it and then broke it again.
😯

Your daughter just "didn't think" Biscuitmuncher - just grabbed it and left.

It's a mug. I save my anger for the things that matter. Your daughter was thoughtless, it happens there's so much more that can happen in life that's far worse.

My younger DS had a nervous habit of tossing his mug in the air & catching it (when he'd finished drinking).
I wasn't here all the time as I had a long commute. But he broke 1 or 2 mugs a week!
In the end I bought him a couple of melamine ones & said only me & DH could use the breakable ones. He still persisted only the mugs bounced.
once he moved in with D-i-L it magically stopped, along with the annoying habit of getting inside his duvet cover instead of sleeping under it.
(He'll recognise himself if he's on GN - there can't be two!

Oh for goodness sake! There have been posts on here from people who have had their hearts broken. It's only a flipping mug. I'm speechless.

It’s only “stuff”, you’ll still have your memories.

Our dear children of all ages are all clumsy klutzes and blame each other as they have since very little.

The funniest (not at the time) was when elder son managed to break a toilet seat, which he used blue tack to try and mend it, DH didn’t notice and slipped off mud poo!

My kids have tried to do this “fixing thing” with a fridge handle, an oven handle and half a dozen over things. Other things simply disappeared!

Be cross, and then let it go

A good way to deal with it, by coming on here, and letting off steam
👏

I had a favourite mug. I broke it so there was noone to blame
My friend mended it with gold glue as the Japanese do kinsugi. After that it sat on the dresser for decoration then one day it fell off! This time it broke into a hundred pieces. It must have had a death wish 😄
