    На этот случай у нас есть поговорка - "В большой семье хлебалом не щелкают"

    Хлебало = polite version of the swearing word "ебало"/"ебло" which means face.
    щелкать ебалом/хлебалом = miss something important

    I've heard a more neutral version of it, "в большой семье клювом не щелкают"
