Do we have to love everything our children make and proudly present us?
How long is an acceptable time to have it on display for before you hide it in a cupboard?
It's Pikachu apparently and not a creative depiction of a demon that's going to suck out my soul but I can't say it's not going to be a feature of a recurring nightmare.
Yeah my mom was never sentimental about our homemade stuff lol. She would keep it on the fridge or mantel for a week, then it was tossed out. She only kept the things that were actually really well done. She still has a couple of Christmas ornaments my brother and I made, and a couple of the better drawings.
It never hurt our feelings that she tossed the stuff out. She would just explain the logic behind it ("Mommy has to throw out the old to make room for the new!") and we were just like "Ok." 🤷🏻♀️
This you must keep forever and when you die it can either be buried with you or presented to the person who most enthusiastically reacted to it y'know like people do out of politeness. No, no, I've had a great idea! Show it to everybody who visits and give it to the most enthusiastic as a gift and secretly film their reaction. In fact you could make a series of these and have a whole Yout channel about it, you'll be a millionaire! And don't forget ol' GeniUs when this happens.
It looks like a talismanic artifact to scare away evil spirits. I gave up having a stylish , well decorated house when my daughter was a kid lol. Maybe he will lose interest in it.
@JimboSaturn it's not going to happen anytime soon, he's autistic and he LOVES Pokémon so it will probably still be an interest when he's 30. He might keep it in his room eventually though 🙂
I made a similarly dumb-looking thing, meant to be an ashtray, when I was about 8. My mother, bless her heart, kept it on a shelf near the kitchen window for years.
It may have still been there when I left for college at 18.
@RedBaron My mum did the same with a 'house' I made. Let's just say it had some serious structural problems 😂 but she did a good job of making me believe she loved it ❤️
