Never had any trouble with Son using my good scissors; DH is another matter entirely. Scissors hidden.

cockleburs?

My son once used my rotary cutter to trim drywall. Sheesh!

Mine are well hidden in the box they came in and others
are out that can be used for whatever.... :lol:

My family knows better now but years ago Husband used my good ones to cut wire for a rabbit cage he was building . The children have always feared using my good sissors

My neighbor and I were working on some projects for Christmas. She accidently picked up my good scissors with her things and took them home. She let her kids cut wire with them for a school project before she returned them.

I found my DD -adult by the way- using them to cut lilac branches. When I screamed Nooooooo, my DIL said, "What? They're just scissors." They said it's the only ones they could find. They were in a drawer -NEW -in the pkg! Yet there sat the old kitchen shears right there on the kitchen counter.

My husband used in ginghers to cut fiberglass ceiling tiles. Couldn't use them after that until i got them sharpened. Kids used to take the good scissors to cut paper until i laid down the law. no one touches them now.

My family NEVER touch my sewing scissors.They know torment was comming there way sooner than they thought.We have 4 or 5 scrap scissors you can cut what you please.But don't touch my sewing scissors.

I raised my children to know better than to ever use my sewing scissors but I caught my husband attempting to cut wire with them. I rescued them just he was starting to make the attempt. Some bell went off in my head and made me look at him. The scissors survived, he thinks I'm crazy as I wasn't nice, and he won't do it again.
