Vent: My kid's toy forge broke last week and I fixed it with a piece of rebar and a torch, now he won't stop asking about 'real fire'

That's a classic parenting trap right there. Maybe try showing him some basic blacksmithing videos to channel the interest safely. Could turn a broken toy into a cool learning moment.

Sometimes destruction is just fun for its own sake.

But what if the kid just wants to break stuff? Not every interest needs to be turned into a lesson.
