I've broken two things today and my dad hasn't even cooled off yet.

First I ruined the sewer pipe trying to mow the lawn and permanently took the cap off.

Then, I recently let the dogs out so they could do their business and when I tried to shut the door, the friggin door handle broke off in my hand.

I can imagine my folks are arguing over what a screw up I am.

It was an accident!

oh who cares? So was I...

Well the sewer pipe seems like you were distracted.

The door handle probably was going to come off when the next person used it anyway, although it could be proprioception problems (using excessive force on things).

People break things, things break, it happens. Don't blame yourself and don't let other people's judgments rub off on you if they are negative. They shouldn't blame you either. I know it's easier said than done.

It's not your fault. Even assuming you weren't paying attention to the sewer pipe or yanked the door too hard, it's still not your fault because it's something that can happen. There isn't anyone who never makes any mistakes or does everything perfectly.
