Don’t Expect To Be Able To Shave Tomorrow
Pamela Grove 7 years ago
I have a question. I have looked at multiple pages of kids painting themselves or something at this point. Do parents NOT teach their kids to leave items that don't belong to them alone? When three years old I got the brilliant idea of using my mother's lipstick to decorate the bathroom wall. She handed me a wet sponge and a can of Comet and said. You made the mess, you clean it up. She said I wiped a while and I cried a while. It took me hours to clean it. I'm sure she did additional cleaning after I was in bed. After all, there is only so much ability a three year old has. For the REST of my life, now 53 years later, I have NEVER drawn or written on any wall or ANY item I shouldn't have. That's all it took, I had to clean my own mess. How many of these parents made their kids even help clean the mess? How much you want to bet some percentage of parents actually MADE the mess to do an internet posting? Isn't there a Clorox commercial like that?

All the pics are so funny, but, you parents do realize that if you stop and take pictures of your misfit kid, presumably while you laugh, s/he's going to do that again?
Leni 7 years ago
They don't necessarily do that. Kids aren't simple output programs where one input does not equal one output. Plus, the parents might not laugh at all, they might've just taken the pic.

It's funny but not recognizable to me. Keep your toddlers with you and supervise. Don't let them near expensive things until you can explain to them that they cant mess with it. My now four year old has known for at least two years that she can't touch my laptop and that if she breaks it we wont be able to get a new one. She wouldn't stick her hands into wall paint because she knows it's toxic. Things like that. Talk to yer kids, they're smart, they're people, they're not short little idiots unless you treat them that way :p
KrisF 7 years ago
Even with supervision and learning not to touch certain things, it still can happen. When I was 4 or 5, I got hold of a crayon and decided to draw all over my bedroom walls one morning before my parents woke up because I didn't like the white walls. They ended up having to put up wall paper.

Some pictures show some rather poisonous/dangerous substances that weren't locked away out of reason. Keep your markers in the garage, or on a high shelf in your bedroom closet. Lock your pantry. You have to think like a toddler to figure out what they'll get into. But I know how fast they can be, too...

I was one of these kids...I found my Mom's deodorant once (back in the days of white chalky stuff) and rubbed it ALLLLL over. Also found the baby powder another day and decided to redecorate the bathroom. I am SOOOO glad that my kid ISN'T one of these kids LOL. The literal worst (messy) thing she's ever done was draw with crayon on the Hall wall. I made her clean it herself with a magic eraser...she's hasn't done it again since (it's been about 2 years since).

I love this so much because it reminds me of what my now grown (24years old) son did when he was 4 years old. I was in the other room on the phone. I had tucked him into bed. After I got off the phone I went in his room to check on him. He had taken a marker and written the new word he'd just learned, "OIL", all over his legs, tummy, and arms. It was before cell phones or I'd have a priceless picture to share.

You sound like you were an a*****e and are just ashamed to admit it. Why not let kids be kids? They have to learn somehow and imagination has led to some of the greatest inventions in history. If you are so damn smart then where are the things you have contributed to society other than some smart a*s comment that really puts you being what I call a dumb a*s?

All you critics out there....you know nothing of the struggle apparently. (Somehow by sheer coincidence) I know the parents of TWO of these photos, and they are fantastic parents! Kids are just kids. If every parent did what some of you suggest (btw, it has a name, it's call "helicopter parenting," and it ruins children), we would continue to devolve into a society of 30-something year olds living in moms' and dads' basements. Get over yourselves.
MidS 7 years ago
I know parents who aren't 'helicopter/authoritarian' parents but still discipline their child and those that are way too permissive. The child of the permissive parents turned out into a spoilt brat that doesn't listen to anyone and does whatever the f**k he wants. The disciplined kids turned out perfectly fine, don't live in their mum's basements, and know how to have fun without ruining things. There's a difference between letting your kid have fun breaking your laptop and letting them have fun playing with toys.

Just goes to show what neglect and "can't be bothered" attitude will result in, when a generation of parents spend more time on their mobiles than with their own children. Kids do need education and a system of strong values. none of my kids, even left alone would even dream of doing anything like that. this is the typical result of a lack of proper parenting. This is what kids will do to get just a bit of attention, even if this attention means that they are going to be punished.

I have to agree for the most part. Most (all?) of theses photos aren't so much about the adorable mischief kids can get into, as they are examples of many parents lacking some elementary common sense. Security latches on cabinets, placing things out of reach, etc., etc. That said, these sort of things aren't recent development as a result of parents being sidetracked with technology, etc. I did things as a kid and so did all my friends... over five decades ago. Kids are like monkeys... independent and creative.... only worse.
