So I was at a friends house and our kids were running around playing games. While chasing eachother my small child bumped into a vase that fell over and broke! My friend was so understanding but I still felt really bad! I helped clean it up with her. 
if they have kids I'm sure they understand. Sometimes you just can't have nice things.
It was not even that it was nice or expensive, It was just a gift from someone and meant alot to her sentimentally, and its like, what do you do? Replacing it wont make it better
Yeah, thats too bad. But, I can understand her side too. Sometimes things can't be replaced.
