Hi ooby,
it's good you can see two positive aspects to the visit and also reduce the negativity you had initially placed on the bed breaking. Although I can understand that wasn't a nice thing to wake up to. Beds aren't always built too well and one missing screw (or small fault) etc, make them brake so much easier. You never know whether the kids haven't used it as a trampoline

or if it got damaged during a move. These things happen. You spent time with your family and that's what's important.
Will you be seeing them soon?
Hugs, ngu x
