Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

As a child it's so hard to know what is actually bad and what your parents don't really care about.
This is also why if I ever have child(ren), I want to be upfront about them telling me if something bad happened.
I will generally not judge them, and even if I do, I think it's better to empathise first without judging, then look for a solution and end it with "it would def be better to do X or Y".
That said... the ONE thing I'm going to really judge anyone about is if they take all the cookies. Sorry, but nobody empties the cookie bin without refilling it.
Aye. Our kid hasn't done anything quite this dramatic (yet, but also only a toddler), but has done things like spill milk over the sofa which I know some people would go apeshit over, but if the kid is already upset there's no need to rub it in.
You know what, nothing teaches better to hold a cup with two hands!
You definitely don't want to rub it in, you'll never get the smell out.
