Ok.... Funny sigh. Last night my almost 3 yr old son tried to flush the metal piece of the toilet paper holder down the toilet and it's lodged. Of course this happened while I had left to have some sane mommy time. I locked the bathroom door (at least we have another one) and told myself I'd worry about it tomorrow, which is today! haha I don't even want to think about the plumber bill. On another note my husband jokes and says we will paint all the walls over in 10yrs when they're older. (perm. marker on a few) I could go on and on. Bless their hearts tho. You have to find humor in it so you don't go crazy!
Mine can't be trusted with the roll of toliet paper. He'll sit on the toilet and feeds the paper inbetween his legs until
A.) I catch him or B.) he runs out of TP.
Now when he's in there I take it out and he has to call for us for the "wiping of the booty." He doesn't even LIKE tp--he's a wipe kind of guy.
My older boy (now 3) stuck toys in the toilet twice in two weeks. Then he did it again and I called a different plumber because I was too embarrassed to call the first plumbers for a third time. I have two girls then two boys; I totally underestimated the difference between boys and girls.
When kids were 2 and 4, they went through a phase where they were in cahoots with each other and were just soooo creative with their destruction. Within 3 months they had:
Colored the garage door with colored chalk
Dumped a bucket of sugar onto the kitchen floor
Sneaked candy when we were asleep and stuffed the wrappers down the vents
Got into a case of chocolate milk boxes and spilled them onto white carpet
Tried to "clean" it up by spraying a whole bottle of perfume on it
Painted the couch with butter
Painted their WHOLE ROOM (window, walls, carpet, beds) with butter and jam
When all their toys etc were taken away for doing all this, one of them pooped and threw it on the ceiling.
It all makes for funny stories now, 4 years later, but man I do NOT know how we got through that without losing our sanity!!!!
When My son was 4 he was playing wii in the other room while I nursed my other son. I heard him scream at the game and this loud crack. I ran into the other room and he had smashed a hole in our brand new flat screen tv. Luckly my husband was out of town and had time to mourn the loss before he got home. The new tv is now WAY up on the wall out of reach.
Are you kidding? Let's see....
Well, there was the Star Wars Mural done by my 6 yr. old (at the time) on every wall of his walk in closet in sharpie marker.
The time the same boy thought he wanted to try to run up the wall like Jackie Chan and do a back flip, leaving a hole a little bigger then his size men's 11 shoe.
The great baby powders wars of '97 come to mind. Months later I was still trying to wipe down all the baby powder.
My daughter discovered fingernail polish and now we have it on every bathroom counter in the house.
The Shaving Cream Battle of '11 between my youngest 2.
Those are the ones I can think of right of the top of my head, but I have years of "WTH??" moments to work with so I will add more as they come to me.
haha...the plumber came one day when my daughter was around 4 or 5. She was watching him, so he started explaining how the stopper worked (that's what he was fixing). Later, after he left, maybe the next day, she was in bathroom with door shut. I asked her "are you playing with the stopper?" When I opened the door, her eyes were like saucers. "HOW did you KNOW?" lol!
Well, I didn't really have too much trouble with just one child. She did hang on the towel rack & yeah, it broke. When the sewer backed up into 2/3 of the basement, she jumped up & down with glee, but that's about it....
So, just remembering the funny plumber story & being thankful nothing major ever got flushed!! XD
One time when my son was 2 he got in the pantry while I was going to the bathroom. He reached for a container of cocoa powder that was on a shelf just above his head and apparently did not have the lid on tight. It, of course, dumped over his head and by the time I came out of the bathroom he had run all over the house touching things. I told him to stop and let me get his picture before I got mad. And boy did I. What a mess! and as it turns out cocoa powder is too fine to be vacuumed up. It just blew out the other side, and then the motor seized!
In the past two years my 3 yr old has pulled alot of stuff! Q-tips in the toilet, husbands watch in the toilet, honey mustard on bedroom carpet and blanket, vaseline and lotion on the rocking chair, trying to write his ABC's on his bedroom wall, and much more!
shitmykidsruined dot com ;)
My kids have always been pretty good, but recently my son ninja-ed a black permanent marker somehow, and had a grand old tine during nap time. He was so proud of himself! He had it on his face, arms, legs, feet hands, crib, wall, bedding, and every stuffed animal he could reach.
My daughters, when they were little, were notorious for ripping window blinds right out of the wall.
My son, and he's in big trouble for this one, destroyed this huge antique radio was have. He pulled the protective fabric off the front, and put a hole through the subwoofer. THAT'S going to cost me!!
LOL Now I've never heard of that one before! You've got me beat on that. Ha ha ha...
My son has colored on the walls. Washable crayons though....his walls were his blank slates for sure!
My youngest who's two right now drinks the bathtub water...ICK! I have to get after him on that constantly. Little dirt ball! LOL He'll also take the cup of water and pour it outside the tub....then mommy and daddy get a bath with him. HA!
When we're outside playing, my parents had bought them a sandbox turtle with the very fine blue sand to go in it. He'll put that in his mouth, or throw it everywhere, and on top of his head and that darn sand does not come out....and he's all 'blue' when he's done playing. My lil' smurf. :-D
Nothing else too crazy. I keep my bathroom door shut so that my littlest one doesn't go in there.
When we bought our house, the previous owner's son had wrote in pen in the master bedroom....that was 8 years ago...it's still there...we haven't painted that room yet. lol
Wow! I hope I don't jinx it by saying we have been relatively lucky so far. When my son was about 18-20mos he got into the Aquaphor ointment and got it on a few things that were on the shelf of his changing table. He was about 2 1/2 yrs when he drew on his dresser with some bath tub crayons. Both were fairly easy to clean up.
My son is 4 1/2 now, so there is still time. We know he will do something crazy, as he is too much like his daddy (Who took the TV apart to see how it worked when he was about 7 yrs, I think the story goes.)
My son wiped his own booty(for once) and I guess used the whole roll of toilet paper clogged the toilet and flushed it I guess numerous times. Didn't realize it till the water came through the ceiling from upstairs. It was awful, my hubby wasn't home, there was floating poop, water everywhere, AND I panicked cause I didn't know what to do so I grabbed the plunger and tried to flush it again and more massive flooding.
when my 12 year old was about 2 he was upstairs and I thought down for a nap. Nope, he got out of bed and went into the bathroom and took the tube of toothpaste I had forgotten and left out and squeezed it all over the hall carpet. Not fun to clean. About the same time he also pulled a kitchen chair over to the fish tank, got the fish net out from under it, and went fishing, while I put his brother to bed. Goldfish do stick to walls if you wondered. My 10 year old at about age 3 tried to make popcorn while i showered, the microwave was in the kitchen right next to the bathroom door. Thankfully the smell alerted me before we had anything more than a very stinky mess.
My 1 1/2 yr old son got some medicine out of my purse and was holding it. I was trying to help my 4 yr old get dressed and thought well the medicine is child proof so I'll get it in a minute well...he got off the top, red medicine was shaken all over my daughter's tan carpeted room. Thank goodness it wasn't white carpet. My daughter had a friend over once and they went in her bathroom. I answered the phone and in the mean time they had gotten some markers and painted there faces, bodies and the bathroom. There faces were priceless!!! Hard to be mad! I'm noticing with my son things (my house) are going down hill quickly! :)
my son took finger paint and painted his toy room closet door blue. He also took markers and colored on the walls in the toy room closet.
My 7yo son is a big-time gamer-online, CDs, DS, Wii-you name it. Back when he was about 4, to save the cost of the interim camp between the end of nursery school and the beginning of day camp, I kept him home for the week. I had to take a quick phone call and left him playing on his PC. I heard a shout and when I went to investigate he had taken an action figure and smashed the screen trying to get the character on the screen to stop winning and gloating about it! Guess how much it cost to fix the screen. Shoulda sent him to camp. SMH.
