50 Painfully Funny Posts Of Kids Ruining Their Parents’ Days, As Shared On This Online Group
InterviewWhether or not to have children is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make in life. But even if you’re the biggest family person in town, you can’t deny that there are moments when you wonder if your kid might be moonlighting as a demon in disguise, sent to torment you. Maybe they spat a chicken nugget right into your morning coffee, destroyed your expensive camera, or tore up their allowance, angry you didn’t give ‘em more cash.
It’s moments like this that can make someone reconsider parenthood. And it’s exactly this feeling that the spicily named, humor-focused ‘Living Condom Advertisements’ subreddit aims to capture. It’s an online community that’s dedicated to sharing examples of children behaving in the very worst, entitled, and yucky way possible. Check out the worst offenders below. Keep in mind, Pandas, that the r/KidsAreCondomAds subreddit focuses entirely on comedy, not hate.
Bored Panda got in touch with the friendly team running the subreddit, and one of its moderators, redditor u/neuroticsmurf, was kind enough to share their thoughts on the community, humor, and what they'd tell overwhelmed parents. "The idea behind the community was always to appreciate the humor in the toughest of parenting moments," they said. You can check out the full interview below.

I looooovvvveee that reply…. “Keep it and give him a piece back anytime he asks for money.” That’s A LOT of pieces… that game could go on for a satisfying amount of time. LOVE this! 😈
If he was my kid he’d never get an allowance again. You want to behave badly, there will be consequences
Are we seriously downvoting Sarel for saying “that’s a bit extreme?” I’m not saying I agree with them, but seriously? They could get temporarily banned just for not agreeing with Nay. Things like this don’t deserve to be downvoted.
Load More Replies...Yes, I'm gonna be "that guy" and start by saying WHEN I WAS A CHILD, my allowance was $5 a week and it felt amazing. If this kid can't appreciate however much that is (clearly more than 5!), let him go a month or two with zero money, and see if he learns to be happy with what he gets later
I...I didn't even get an allowance, but still had chores....
Load More Replies...I'd get the sellotape out. I love jigsaws. The bank will take the notes if more than 50% of the note can be reconstructed and the serial number made out. The kid will be grounded for life. ;-)
This is the whole reason I came to the comment section. Thank you haha
Load More Replies...Maybe there's a deeper issue at play that needs to be addressed. Or maybe they're just a little devil in training. Who knows? Either way, it's certainly a situation that calls for some creative parenting techniques.
Yes, looks like anger issues. The money is a symptom, not a cause.
Load More Replies...We were interested to learn more about the idea behind the r/KidsAreCondomAds subreddit, and moderator u/neuroticsmurf told us all about it. According to them, the focus lies on learning to appreciate the humor in some of the toughest parenting moments you'll ever run into.
"Those moments when your kids exasperate you so much, you begin to question whether you made the right choice to become a parent in the first place," the mod told Bored Panda.
"When you look back on those moments with the benefit of hindsight, they’re usually pretty funny. They were awful at the time, but tragedy + time = comedy!" the redditor urged everyone to look at these sorts of situations from a broader perspective.

This reminds me - years ago I was cleaning up my garden in the winter. I cut down the dead stalks of oriental poppies and threw them on the patio with everything else. My young cat was playing there and proceeded to chew on those stalks. Next time I looked over she was passed out, wouldn't wake up. I frantically called the poison hotline and they couldn't stop laughing. she woke up a couple hours later, no worse for the wear.
Your Cat went to the Island of the Poppy Eaters!. Next time ask her what Odysseus was wearing. Lol

I can't stop watching the video on the original thread🤣🤣The brat got what he deserved.
I saw the video, the brat was horrible and had a tantrum when he wasn't allowed to do it. Parent did well.
Load More Replies...The video is even better. Dad blocks this lil'psychopath multiple times, and he has a meltdown each time :)
My cousin has two daughter, and this is problem at every birthday celebration. I have to show him this photo.
And right after he was blocked, twice, he made a fist of his right hand ready to strike out. I will never forget this little brat
I saw the original, the kid tried so many times and he was screaming when he didn’t blow them out
Humor is an incredibly powerful thing that can help turn even the gloomiest situation into something palatable. Moderator u/neuroticsmurf shared a story from their school days with us that shows this.
"When I was in high school, I had a friend who wasn't a great student. Each time our algebra teacher handed back our graded quizzes, my friend would take a look at his grade, let out a defeated chuckle, and just bury his head on his desk. Our teacher finally asked him why he always laughed. She didn't think his grades were very funny. In response, he said, 'Well, I can't cry about it.' No one is going to hate a kid for being a kid. But we can laugh about it," they told Bored Panda.

So started divorce proceedings based only on the word of a 7 year old child… No evidence. Think your soon to be ex is well out of it tbh. I’m just worried about how he’ll navigate the relationship with his daughter going forward
I’ve always hated spite, even in kids; very toxic trait
Load More Replies...Whish of course is the subtitle to "Little Sociopathy"
Load More Replies...There's a way to avoid such things... Its called communication, but it's a rare creature that has to be created by sensible people.
Maybe I'll get down voted, but I'll say it anyway. A 7 year old child is pretty much innocent. Can they still do things that are wrong? Absolutely yes, as this child did. But this indicates something that needs to be addressed by the parents - this child needs parenting and guidance. And what sort of adult bases major decisions on the word of a 7 year old?? The real problem here is the adult woman who failed to communicate with and trust her partner, and then went to the internet to shame and blame her 7 year old child.
I agree the woman should not have acted based only on the word of her 7 year old, and that the current behavior is largely due to the parenting received so far. However, I also believe 7 may not have an idea of the full extent of the claim, but knew it would be pretty destructive, and should know better. I've talked with younger kids that understood more, but it is also heavily influenced by what they have been exposed to, as well as parenting prior to this, so at this age, it is definitely the parents' fault, as much as the child's.
Load More Replies...Unpopular opinion: The wife should not be surprised at this outcome. She believed the word of a child without any other evidence to back it up. The husband does not have to forgive her, it only took one sentence to cause distrust.
Meanwhile, the mod also had some advice for new parents who feel entirely overwhelmed, overstressed, and exhausted beyond belief. "When you have a moment as a parent that makes you question your decision not to wear a condom that time long ago, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and consider what a great story you’ll be able to tell at your kid's wedding someday," they pointed out that having a long-term view can help parents see the comedic aspect of it all.
"And remember: Stories are always best accompanied by pictures, so get that camera phone out!" they urged everyone to share these moments of others to help turn tension and stress into laughter.
As we’ve covered on Bored Panda before, actually wanting to be a parent is one of the things that will help you get through the toughest of times. In other words, you have to enjoy the idea of being a mom or a dad. Otherwise, you might feel frustrated and even resent your kids for having to put them first, well, pretty much all of the time. To oversimplify things a tad, nobody enjoys being forced to do something that they dislike, whether it’s parenting or anything else.
And though parenting is incredibly rewarding, any of your bleary-eyed, tousle-haired friends will tell you that it can be beyond exhausting. They’re not just juggling parenting and housework. They’re also likely working, trying to maintain a semblance of social life, taking care of their health, and using the few moments of leisure they have to remind themselves that, hey, they have hobbies and passions like everyone else.
We Found My Wife’s Phone In The Toilet Yesterday. We Weren’t Sure Which Of Our Three Kids Put It There.......until My Wife Scrolled Through Her Pictures Today
I've got such a picture of my boy on my camera. He must have snuck out of bed without me hearing it (very hard to do), go to the computer room, toyed with the camera, made an accidental selfie and went back to bed. Found it months later. Printed it and put it on the wall at work. His first selfie!
That's beautiful! Also, a reminder to teach kids the importance of not touching phones and other expensive tech
obviously the little person inside the toilet

You should’ve met my third grade classmates. They dabbed for no reason all the time
Load More Replies...Thank you for asking lol I'm American and had no clue! Probably has more to do with me being more "mature" age wise :)
Load More Replies...So, the parents letting him watch (I'm assuming) plenty of hostile youtube and streamers? Good parenting. Give your kid books and you may find an improvement in behaviour.
My kid watches zero YouTube but picks up all sorts of stuff like this from the school playground or riding the bus.
Load More Replies...My youngest (8) will say "Emotional Damage!" and dab when one of his siblings is being scolded.
TIL what dabbing is (both meanings)!! When I was growing up, a dab was a fish! 😁
Oh Boy
Hey, the kid was probably just trying to get a cool shot like he’s seen online. It’s not his fault he didn’t know it wasn’t waterproof. It’s just a shame that camera was ruined. Doesn’t mean the kid is ‘hellspawn’
Wait so instead of saving the camera the parents took a photo
Load More Replies...1, watch your child. 2, keep an eye on your expensive tech. 3, both previous points in capitol letters because there is a pool here!
My cousin drowned because he went out to the pool while my uncle had fallen asleep. If this isn't staged, it's the most dangerous one here.
Load More Replies...Which idiot left their camera around so their kid can play with it in the pool???
A perfectly clear and composed picture here tells me this is a staged photo using a well made prop or a camera body and lens that were broken before the child go their hands on it. That, or the parents have more money than sense and actually let the child play with a few thousand dollars like it's nothing.
From a practical standpoint, what really helps is knowing how to ask for help. Talk to your partner about dividing up the housework more fairly or them looking after the kids while you take a half-day to unwind. You can then reciprocate once you’re feeling like a human being again. Remember, you're supposed to be a team, not a solo superhero.
If your partner is just as overwhelmed as you are, talk to your family and friends—maybe they could do a spot of babysitting so the both of you can get some well-deserved sleep or go on a date night. If everyone’s busy, consider hiring a nanny. It shouldn’t be seen as a weakness that you want a small break from being a mom or dad. You’re a parent, yes, but you’re not just a parent. And it bodes well to remember that you’re not doing anyone any favors if you’re sacrificing everything for the family and working yourself to exhaustion.
How Did He Even Get His Head In There??
I hate to laugh when he is clearly scared… but we know he’s fine and this is pretty funny. Why is this the case. I would stick my head in the railing of my stairs and then never could get it back out. How? How does it go one way but not the other. The lesson is also…. Never learned. Honestly did it again and again. It just looks too fun.
My chubby little thighs got stuck in a baby swing when I was about 7. Firefighters had to cut me out 🤷🏻♀️
I've seen a few of those videos but they usually started out with alcohol.
Load More Replies...i used to get my fingers stuck in wiffle balls and my head stuck in railings haha
my cousin got stuck in between stair railings… to my surprise it was the mature cheddar. the eldest of my cousins.
Load More Replies...I got my head stuck in a chair at a restaurant when I was 3 or 4. Coincidentally there were a couple firemen having lunch there and were able to get my head out
You’d be surprised at how fast a toddler can move and find trouble when you turn your back for a moment, especially in public.
Load More Replies...Absolutely Smashing
Well, the vast majority of kids acting up are either parenting fails or parenting "wait. That sound like some form of abuse". So it's not surprising that the list is like this...
Load More Replies...Sounds like a Sturdy sculpture to be easily destroyed. And the parents were... Where?
I looked up the incident and one article said that the museum wrote on social media, "The little visitors knew that their behaviour was inappropriate, and, under the encouragement of their parents, reported the incident to the museum staff. Their attitudes were friendly and sincere, and they agreed to help out with follow-up matters.”
Oh....so both a parenting fail for not preventing the running and a parenting win for taking responsibility. Nice.
Load More Replies...Put kids on leashes. It's safer for them and for the property they can destroy on their own. Kids shouldn't be allowed free-range in public until they're old enough to understand the consequences of their behavior. Seriously parents. This would reduce your stress so much not having to watch their every move.
I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds funny!
Load More Replies...Durex With The Smart Advertising
This whole thread is a birth control ad. (Mum of 3 who loves her monsters very much.)
There was a French(?) condom ad that went viral years ago that featured a weary dad and a boy of about 7 screaming and trashing a grocery store because Papa wouldn't buy him lots of sweets. *chef's kiss*
I know it's bad but I really love it. If I had any faith in my child's ability to not destroy it I'd let him draw on my play station
The plates can be removed and replaced so there is that option.
Load More Replies...I wonder if the kid also got into the cigarettes and lighter on the table
Load More Replies...does it still work? then its fine. just tell the child that they shouldnt do it, but like damn, having kids is hard work, but its fun as hell. i'd be pissed if my kid did this, but i also wouldn't be able to stop laughing looking at his face thinking he did something nice.
Originally founded in May 2020, the r/KidsAreCondomAds subreddit currently has 27.4k members. According to the information shared on the sub, the online group is now “under new management."
The group primarily focuses on showing the humorous side of misbehaving kids, and there’s plenty of that to go around. It can make you really respect the amount of patience and perseverance that parents have (or it can temporarily put you off from having kids at all).
Oh Poor Car
He did exactly as he was told. You gotta be on your toes ALL THE TIME
Load More Replies...We were staying in a holiday flat; my son threw up on the kitchen floor. “Don’t worry, but if you’re going to be sick again, just do it in the toilet” Sure enough, while I’m still cleaning the floor I hear him throwing up in the toilet. I go through to check and as instructed, he’s gone into the toilet and thrown up, over the toilet, the toilet roll, the piping……. I should have said down the toilet.
When I was that age my parents had told me to never put plastic bags over my head.
I'm laughing so hard at this! 🤣 my mom did the same for me with a grocery bag when I was little, but at least it was properly used... I could definitely see a high fever making this situation worse tho!
Wow Dad. You didn't bother assisting him? Even drunk bridesmaids help one another while puking.
Tity
An 8 year old with a search history? Call me a boomer, but kids need to be watched and net nannies need to be installed!
Wouldn't it be better to teach the kids about that sort of things? I've sat with my nephew when he was 8 and explained to him the differences between boy and a girl and how and from where the babies come from and my brother doesn't have cases like that with him.
Load More Replies...He's a curious boy, being a boy. If he's googling that, it's time to talk to him. He's obviously ready for some discussion, otherwise google will figure out what he's after. That won't end well.
WTF is this child being raised around to search this kind of stuff at 8 years old!?! My daughter is now 11 and only knows proper terms, as it is important to know about your body. "Titty"..!? Are you serious!? This is disgusting and the parent needs to watch what their child is exposed to, and to what they are doing. Nearly every post on here is due to poor parenting 🤦🏻♂️
To be fair - it's possible the child picked it up from another child at school. We never swore in front of my child or let him see anything with swearing in it yet one day, at age 4, he told me that a boy at school said "f-ing d-head". It thought I would faint.
Load More Replies...Hahaha.. per china will only get you the clean sites.. for the dirty sites you need to look for pursey..
Load More Replies...lol Time to leave some Victoria's Secrets catalogs laying on the coffee table! Children are naturally curious and hear things. This can be handled delicately with scaring anyone
Oh my god! What kind of content is this kid watching? Why does an 8 year old have access to a tablet? I hope that the parents are doing something about this
Id think you'd have to search really hard for a child to not have a tablet (in the western world)

Pretty sure that wasn’t the OPs reason for posting this. Its funny and cute, mom tried her best 🤷🏻♀️
Load More Replies...I'm not sure, but I think this is the first time I've ever heard of a kid turning down brownies.
Haha, my granddaughter was asking for brownies the other day, she also meant hash browns. But we didn't wasted time making brownies.
I'm sure you will have no problem finding takers for those brownies.
We regularly have to interpret creative food requests. "White sticks" means yogurt covered pretzels, FYI.
Yeah every time the kid cries you give him what he wants. How's that working for you?
Before you start posting random memes and screenshots, you’ve got to familiarize yourself with a few rules. Thankfully, there are only a few. The team running the ‘Living Condom Advertisements’ sub explains that the content that’s shared has to go beyond kids “just being stupid.”
“We want kids destroying people's things, making messes, misbehaving, etc. We want moments that make you not want kids/regret having them,” they point out.

Yeah. So after my son blasted me in the face and broke my tooth, the first thing I did was an IG post.
Remember when things like this happened & the first thought was to get to the dentist, & not grab a phone, smile, & take a selfie to post online before doing anything sensible? - I just feel a bit jaded seeing all the senseless need for strangers approval time & time again.
Me And The Baby Powder
If it's central heating, it won't catch fire - too far away from the actual heat source. My sister and I "made cookies" with an entire bag of flour (we got into a flour fight) while my mom was away. We threw it around so much that it went through the screens on the windows and out into the yard. It also got down the heat register. My mom came home, we all cleaned, and after we thought we were done, the heater kicked on and blew flour all over the kitchen. My mom literally sank to her knees on the floor and just cried. We felt so bad.
Load More Replies...So much better than the heated cat urine that spewed it's tremendously powerful odor through the house when I turned the heater on that chilly morning.
My daughter woke up from her nap when she was about two and put lotion over her whole body, including her hair while she was still wearing her pajamas. I had had the audacity to take a shower while she was sleeping. Silly me.
Meanwhile, all the members of the community are urged to be kind to each other. There’s no need to be a jerk when there’s so much comical content to share. What’s more, you should strive to post original stuff—don’t share anything that’s already been posted within the last three months.
The moderators also stress the fact that the sub is all about humor. “Take the hatred elsewhere,” they point out that there’s a zero-tolerance approach to child hatred.

My grandson did this to my daughter’s car keys. Calls me in a panic that her keys were lost and that grandson had done something to them.

Kids Trash Thrift Shop's Toy Section, Parents Don't Care
This is just as much, if not more, the parents being hellspawns. I feel sorry for the children being raised by such atrocious parents
I would say this behavior is almost exclusively on the parents. Even if the child has some underlying mental condition it is the parents responsibility to minimize the impact of that condition on others.
Load More Replies...The family should have been trespassed and ordered to leave long before it got to this point. Can someone clarify for me - are thrift shops generally raising money from donated goods for charities (not sure because we don't call them thrift shops in NZ)? If so, that makes it even worse.
OP shops, Salvos, Vinnies. They're all thrift shops.
Load More Replies...I work at a thrift shop and I can tell you that the parents will drop their kids off and the toy section and then go shopping. It's frustrating
Yup and if an employee tries to say something to the kids the parents go ballistic! I worked retail many years and have had to clean up way to many disasters that their hellspawn has done.
Load More Replies...This didn't happen in 5 minutes. Hierarchy of responsibility - first and foremost the parent, the child (interchangeable), the store staff, other parents, other children. Paraphrasing Edmund Burke's quote, all it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing. Those children learned (in public) there were no consequences to their actions.
What really helps weather the jaw-droppingly awful moments featured in this list is shifting your perspective and focusing on the silver lining. Namely, the humorous side of things. Sure, you might have just realized that your munchkin is more like a goblin than an innocent angel, but if you manage to laugh when things get tough, you’re effectively saying ‘no’ to stress and anxiety.
Let's Paint The TV! Great Idea
That's not paint, that's Sudocrem. They pretend it's for diaperrash, but in reality it's for kids to smear all over the place. I have seen cars, little sisters, couches and a cat getting fully covered in this concoction from hell.
All 3 of mine at a certain point we're found completely covered, sometimes naked. I've had to follow sudocream footprints and once a buttprint
Load More Replies...when I was little I "liberated the little people trapped inside the tv" by smashing the screen with a huge crystal my parents had found in the Alps. it was an old tv (not flat). it exploded the screen but I didnt get injured. I don't even remember being scolded for it. just that there was a new tv after.
Was the crystal unharmed? That's so cool that your parents found a huge crystal. Makes me want to go to the Alps!
Load More Replies...Gosh, that flammable sudacrem in a child's reach and the parents not watching. I need to take notes for my own kid.
Doesn't matter what this white s**t is; where were the parents this entire time period???
omg... sudocreme! You might just as well throw the TV out. That shìt will never come off
One thing I learned from owning dogs: they will get to anything they can and try to eat it, chew on it, whatever. If they manage to get something in their mouth there is nobody to blame but yourself for not putting it away or underestimating their abilities. Same applies babies, toddlers and very young children. Only they are much more capable with their arm things. If it has potential to do more harm then you are willing to take as a parenting opportunity you have to put it out of reach.
A kid with a bucket of paint/putty and 5 unattended minutes will be enough for this kind of result. Adults to blame.
It's Sudocreme, which is used to treat diaper rash. If you have never had a child or babysat one, you will not understand just how freaking fast children can run.
Load More Replies...Kids Will Be Kids
Not funny. A co-worker's toddler went into a similar paint bucket head first. Her death was devastating for everybody. First, my co-worker, who briefly let the can open and felt so guilty that he attempted suicide. His wife, who had been trying to get pregnant for years, couldn't believe her daughter was dead. And family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers sharing the horror. Miraculously, the couple didn't divorce -as typically in those cases- and after a couple of years, the lady gave birth to a boy. Stating that they were overprotective is falling short, but they rebuild their lives, and the boy turns out to be a great person. If you look at the printed label of newer five gallons cans, you will see a figure and text warning precisely about this danger.
Well it was an accident. This is different. Don't bring depressing stuff on here.
Load More Replies...This angers me to a level I can't express. These buckets are incredibly dangerous and are labeled specifically for this reason. Small children fall in, cannot get out, and drown. But hey, you're getting likes for being negligent parents on social media so it's worth the risk.
To be fair if the kids already in it, taking the photo isn't that dangerous. You know they're not gonna drown in it because they're already in feet first. Was it negligent that they left it long enough for the kid to get in in the first place? Maybe. But we don't know the whole story.
Load More Replies...This one might top my 'smurf grandkids' episode. Daughter was living in an RV on my property. Two of my granddaughters spilled a gallon of teal/blueish paint and apparently proceeded to play in it / rub it all over each other. Came to my front door asking for help when they realized they couldn't get it off themselves. Than God it was latex not oil based. A very blue bath, some extra scrubbing, cleaning latex out of the drain screen so the water would drain - later, they were fine. One was about the age of the girl in this photo. The other was old enough to know better.
My older brother did that when he was about 9 but only one part of his anatomy went into the tin...... he had to play with gasoline for a while to sort things out. He is dead now but that always makes me smile!
It's probably a childproof top that no adult can get off but a child can!
Load More Replies...Ultimate Logic
The best thing you can do for the environment and the future of our planet is to not have kids. Here's 63 examples of why this is such a good idea.
Yes, but if you would see Mint Sauce, if everyone stopped having kids there would be no future for mankind…? You were once a kid (or still are) how would you like it if someone came up to you and said “I wish you were never born” that would suck, wouldn’t it, Mint Sauce.
Load More Replies...What you do next will depend a lot on your parenting style. There are four main ones: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved. Though all families are unique and there are no one-size-fits-all answers, authoritative parenting is generally the best out of the four because it leads to kids growing up to be self-reliant, cooperative, friendly, and achievement-oriented.
Dad I Saw Them Do This At The Gas Station
Depends on the car. My 2019 Honda Accord *does not have* an inner gas cap. When you stop at the gas pump, having the key fob unlatches the door, you pop the filler door open, and insert the hose nozzle. No inner cap to lose. Convenient, but we should maybe send this picture to the designers.

Oh well give it all Back to Him by All Means! WHAY are PARENTS so Lazy at Being Parents these Days??
This style focuses on moms and dads setting firm limits for children while also valuing being nurturing, responsive, and supportive. Authoritative parents explain what the rules are like and why they’re like that and they’re open to listening to their kids’ points of view (even if they might not accept it). Clarity and a mix between firmness and friendliness are key here.
What A Hell?
Did they actually bite it? My walls corner looks like that. But no one's ever bit it.... I think..
Just take a trip to Germany... houses here are built with actual bricks - your kid will take one bite and never try again *:)
I Don't Think He Will Be Trusted With Technology For A While
Why you'd give anyone still in the biting stage an object of biteable width with lots of lightning in it... you can't even give kids in lower primary Sharpies in case they stick them in their mouths. That thing's got a battery in it and costs a ridiculous amount of money. Why.

Back in the early 2000's, we had a portable video system for our minivan. We went on a long trip and hooked up the Playstation to it so the boys could play games. My son got really mad at the game and smashed the screen with the controller. They never got screens again.
Why do parents hand their children electronics? Be a parent!! Give the kid a book!

A Condom A Day Keeps The Children Away
I stoped taking pictures like this, the album is full of this. Bread, fruit, nuggets, chips.
Once when I was Younger I was mad at one of my siblings, their fav fruit was a pear and there was one left, I’m not too fond of pears because they’re dry and sometimes biting into one feels like cornflower rubbed on your teeth, but I look a huge bite out of it anyway and just left it in the food bowl and spat out the chunk in the bin, they never really figured out it was me
Load More Replies...Don't let littles free range your food. I used to cut their apples up because they never ate a whole one. At first it was tears about being short changed. I made it clear that if they ate it al they could have more. After that it was fine. And most of the time they were content with the amount I gave them in the first go and I didn't have a lot of wasted apples.
mush them with sugar and cinnamon delicious the apples though are a total loss

Thank You Children Very Cool
Tell them "this is why you won't get Xmas presents" and see what they say inatead
Destruction /is/ cool, when you don't have to deal with it yourself. That's why movies are full of explosions and glass breaking and all that drama. It's scary to adults because it equals a big old bill and repairs and a draft coming in and goodness knows what else, but to a kid it's genuinely just a cool hole. If the kids are still at the stage of flooding the bathroom, they're definitely not at the point where they worry about that sort of thing.
Learning about cause and effect. How causing a thing in one location can create effects in another location--this is such a mind blowing concept for people who don't really know how the world works yet.
How "super awesome" and 'wow so cool" is was when they had to clean it up.

I had 3 kids ages 5 and under and never had these issues. Do any of these parents pay attention?
My sister and I wouldn't have even CONSIDERED doing any of the things on this thread!!! You could have stuck us in a bathroom filled with spray paint, and we never would have thought of doing this b/c we knew the type of trouble we'd get into (and no, our parents never once spanked us). I get that toddlers who don't know any better can get into mischief in the blink of an eye and that accidents w/ clumsy kids (like me) can happen. But I have to agree w/you here- either these kids aren't being taught at an early age what's acceptable behavior/what isn't, or they aren't being supervised properly, b/c my friends and I NEVER would have pulled this c**p when we were kids and lived to tell the tale...

It didn't state the kid was drinking it though. (I could assume the kid wanted the soda, was not allowed and did this as a trantrum?)
Load More Replies...Well, I recommend you use ants. The common garden variety will do. Place the computer near an ant colony and they will removed all the crystallized sugar for you. They work fast, cheap and diligent!
Okey, If it's not a goner already, pull the plug, rinse it in plain water to get the sugar and acid out, get distilled water, do a final rinse, and leave it to dry (point a fan at it) for a day or two, making sure there are no water left anywhere. Put it back on. Hopefully, you will be good.
Some things you just cannot foresee. Ouch. At 3, he prolly had no idea.

Down The Toilet
Lots of children go through this toilet play phase. Because toilets are mysterious portals. We put things into them, press a lever, and everything disappears. So most kids want to find out how this works, if it happens with all kinds of things or just smelly things, etc.

It's the same kind as you have. It looks like she managed to get out of the straps - which means it wasn't buckled tight enough.
