Sibling stomped on my garden bed during a BBQ, and I'm done being polite.

They laughed it off like it was no big deal. My plants take months to grow, and that kind of carelessness wrecks everything.

Reading @wendy131's thing about the singed petunia, it shows how these small hurts add up. What worked for me was just saying something right away in a calm voice, no more polite ignoring. My plants and my relationship both got better after that honest talk.

Wait, they actually stomped on the garden bed? That's not just careless, that's wild.

Calling it carelessness might be a bit harsh since BBQs can get chaotic. I've seen plants recover from worse, so try not to stress too much.

Ugh reminds me of my neighbor who cried over a singed petunia.
