Time heals all wounds, right? Sure, sometimes. But that is not the case when you forgot to bring the sauce to a BBQ eleven years ago. Your own family will needle you on such an irreparable disaster for the rest of their lives.
People will remain salty about petty injustices, and there's not that much anyone can do about it. Someone might say something about forgiveness, but then no one would get to complain. So where's the fun in that?
Kids are no exception. Recently, Todd Dillard's viral tweet kickstarted a thread where parents share the verbal jabs their kids throw at them for the petty crimes they have committed. And let me tell you, they sting.
Todd said his daughter is a curious and kind girl.
"I remember scraping off the burnt part of the quesadilla and then serving it to her," he told Bored Panda. "The look on her face was like I'd made dinner by microwaving socks! I think I made meatballs for her instead."
This time, she did end up having a quesadilla. However, it wasn't burned.

My son (10years old) remembers every bad thing ever done or said to him. He doesn’t forgive either and drags everything out for an airing whenever he has a disagreement.
While research has demonstrated that very young children can recall memories with specific details, for memories of their parents failing to become autobiographical—part of the child’s life story and real to them—there must first be a developed sense of self and personal identity.
Interestingly, children do not fully develop a sense of self until they're around 1 ½ or 2 years of age. Having a sense of self, the “I” separate from others, gives a place for memory to be organized and develop personal meaning.

Kid logic. My then-5 year old spent $ in her emergency lunch fund at school for a 2nd school breakfast (before school care gave school breakfast included in cost, and she had breakfast at home) after being told not to. So I took $2 from her piggy bank as returning it to me as we paid it up front. She was too little to get it despite explaining, so she threw a tantrum. I said she can have it back at the end of the year if she didn't do it again. It calmed her down, but she forgot about it a few months later so I didn't bring it up.

When I was,7, or so, the family went to Washington DC, and next to the Lincoln Memorial I found a $20 bill in a trash can, grabbed it, and put it in my piggy bank when we got home. I thought I had done something horrible, because my parents always told me that if you found something like that, it wasn't yours, and you should turn it in to...someone. Anyway, one night my older sister was going to the movies with friends, and my dad didn't have any cash (late '70s - ATMs weren't really a thing) so he went into my bank and found the $20. A few weeks later, he came to me with a $20 and said, "Here, I borrowed this from your piggy bank, and wanted to pay you back". I hadn't even realized it was gone, and I guess he thought it was a birthday gift from a grandparent or something. I was so relieved that I wasn't in trouble for having "stolen" that money from a trash can, that I immediately took it to the local grocery store and bought a ton of candy and soda for me and my friends.

My mother raided my piggy bank when someone gave me money for my birthday and gave me some silly excuse for it. I never got a penny of it back. I learned early on that I couldn't trust her with money, of course, and that kind of behavior continued, with "I'll pay you back!" when she knew I was a single mom who needed gas for an hour commute both ways, yet she had no intention of paying it back, ever, when I was doing her a favor.
Although memory is not fully developed in infancy, the early childhood period (birth through age 8) is important for children in building and acquiring the development of memory.
Looking at memory development can provide parents with a new way to think about and plan for their children. Think of it like this, memory development not only takes you back to experiences that hold meaning, but it is a complex cognitive ability that is important in many aspects of thinking and learning, such as language and literacy, planning, following directions, problem-solving, reflecting, imagining, and the overall ability to form a positive sense of self. Our memory is vital to our everyday life.

Remembering starts with understanding. Children learn about memory by talking with others and by experiencing life within their environments. However, if children experience something that they do not fully understand, they are less likely to remember it (or to recall events correctly).
So adults play a significant role in helping children understand and remember.

The most important thing adults can do is to provide responsive, joyful, and nurturing interactions with children. Another quite important, yet simple way adults can contribute is by telling stories and narrating experiences, especially the ones they have shared with children. By doing so, the adult can revisit events, provoke thought, and even help children recall what they cannot remember. In essence, the adult is reconstructing the shared memory.

Load More Replies...This brings us to language. It bridges understanding and helps in shaping memory. Adults can foster language with children by telling stories, retelling events, and asking questions that relate to experiences children have had. Questions that tap into the what, the where, the when, the why, and the how really help children gather details, descriptions, and emotions about the experience.
Eventually, children will start to ask themselves the same types of questions that the adults have been asking. As children look inward, ask questions, and try to understand their own thoughts, they are forming memories.

Along with fostering language, adults can cultivate children's imaginative play by using props, materials, and photographs–anything that sparks a connection to both past memories and to form newly imagined ideas. Drawing tools and materials are also good support for documenting, organizing, and illustrating past and forthcoming ideas.

When children start going to school, they must be able to process information to follow directions and remember classroom rules.
To process information, children need to categorize, understand, and respond to the message that an adult gives them.
But remember, before they can process a message, all parts of it must be understood. Since children have limited memory spans, they may miss part of the message, or even all of it, if they have to process too many things at once.

This is serious business. As for why they divorced, my mom cited dad's complaint that she no longer baked cookies.
Again, adults can help children to remember and do what we ask of them by giving directions that are uncomplicated and stated effectively, such as “Please put the books on the bookshelf”. It is much better than “Let’s clean up.”
Also, use clear directives of what to do as opposed to what not to do. For example, it is better to ask children to “please walk” as opposed to “no running”.

Awww. I have these protein bars Injust started trying -brownie and chocolate chip cookie dough from Costco, very good - I don't want to share so I say it has coffee and don't show my 7 year old the pic. Surprised she hasn't read the ingredients like she enjoys doing I hope they don't draw pics of my protein bars.

Haha! When we were younger one time, I was laying on my stomach on the floor drawing. I was twirling the point of my pencil (facing up) around in a little circle while my little brother was RUNNING in circles around me! He tripped and fell onto my pencil and to this day he still has a small mark on his foot that will help him to never forget it. (We each insist it's the other person's fault of course... I don't think the argument will ever end 😂)

I left my freezer door slightly open before going on vacation for 3 weeks. I made the mistake of telling my parents. For years after they’d tell me to remember to close the freezer door before I leave for vacations. And in their mind it was always “just last year” when it happened. Even almost a decade later.

I threw up at 6 after soup with mushrooms. Never knowingly touched mushrooms again. But I don't blame my parents.

Did the same --- once ---. This became a permanent time reference point, "Before (or after) you forgot me at daycare......"

I forgot once because I never did the pickup at that time. She was 3. Husbandd was out of town, and I worked at a sister site to the childcare. Coworker brought up he wanted to leave and make it for dinner with family, right then and there (cuzhe was an ass like that). We both forgot I planned to leave early. I stayed after closing and started driving home when it hit me daycare closed and I was supposed to pick her up! I think I called right before they did. Luckily it was still en route home. She sat in the lobby eating crackers, oblivious. But once when she was 1, I got home and asked my WFH husband where she was. He said I was supposed to get her. It was nowhere near closing time luckily and our house at the time was in between work and childcare, so I just turned back out.

Older brother broke his sister's dolls by ripping their heads off. Years later when his daughter discovered their aunt's (presumably still broken) dolls, aunt told them to ask their dad why they were all missing their heads.

Crazy memories. My daughter remembered at 3 where we out a Christmas decoration the year before. She is 7.5. On Wednesday, she got excited and declared it was Wacky Wednesday - the day after Dr. Suess' bday- and mentioned a show on the wall, etc. This was after reading the book last summer. So it meant a day of creating wacky stuff on the fly. We drank water from bowls, piled lunch in a bowl, had breakfast (green eggs like the day before) for dinner with a raw carrot as well. They wore mismatched shoes.

He should have given you the taco. No big deal, just because it was outside of the norm for breakfast. If you slept through dinner it means you were tired a d you shouldn't be punished for that.

Campbell's tinned soup is concentrated so you tip the soup in a pan, then fill the tin with water and stir that in. I'm guessing this was supposed to be cream of tomato soup and the milk added creaminess.

I bought a bag of "cuties" (small tangerines) for my boy, who was 5 at the time. He refused to eat them and forbid me because they were so cute. So, there they sat until they became dried up, burnt orange balls. I threw them out. When he discovered this, he gave me crocodile tears and said "how could you do this to your own son" and he proceeded to tell everyone we met, how I threw out all his pets, that he loves so much. Now he is 9, won't eat oranges, and tells me often I am not allowed to throw away his cat, because I always throw away things he loves.

Kids? How about adults? My husband cut my hair one time with clippers. He pulled my bangs away from my forehead with a comb and ran the clippers across the comb. I asked "Did you just shave my eyebrow?" He says "No" then pulls the comb away and says "oops." He shaved half my eyebrow off. Funny thing is, my 5 year old son got ahold of his grandmothers razor during bath time and shaved off the same half of the same eyebrow. So instead of looking like an accident, it looked like an inherited genetic trait. Now anytime my husband offers to cut my hair, I respond with "No thanks, I like my eyebrows the way they are."

I found this unique recipe for a mock apple pie and on a whim I decided to make it. It had loads of sugar and cream in it and tasted just fine but no one would try it, not even my wife.... That was the last time I made vinegar pie.... it only two table spoons of vinegar which you could not taste after baking.... Every time I go to make a pie or every time dinner is slightly off they remind me of Vinegar pie.

My children still bring up the "abuse." One summer I made them take a walk around the block for every hour of computer time. It gets brought up ALL.THE. TIME. Along with the fact they were the last ones in their class to get cell phones, I only bought whole wheat bread for a while, and I accidently killed the fish.
