Worst damage your kid has ever done

[Poopatrolonthetoiletroll]

Currently counting down the days til the DC go back to school. The constant mess is fraying the ends of my sanity. What's the worst mess or damage your DC has ever done.

Worst for me is my toddler DC did a massive poo on the floor and when I went to get stuff to clean it up with they repeatedly rammed their vtech toot toot elephant through it. Absolute carnage and huge tears when I wanted to throw it away. No it was. Not the carpet but getting all the poo out of the elephant and sanitising it.

Bring on September

I have 2 and same DD was the culprit in both situations!

1. I foolishly left a sharpie out and DD scribbled all over my kitchen floor tiles and the inside of the bottom drawer with it!
2. On holiday in our brand new car that we’d had about 5 months and DD picked up a stone and decided to “draw” all over the back of the car with it.

First one was really my fault for being careless. She does still love to draw pictures so perhaps we have a budding artist on our hands 🤨

DD was around 5 years old when she decided it was a good idea to play with her new slime kit on the newish white material sofa. Red slime all Over it. spent ages trying to pick it out, ice cubes to freeze it off, so annoying

when we had storage heaters, dd poured a cup of soup into the vents , so when it heated up it made the whole house stink of rancid chicken soup and onions it was disgusting

Not expensive luckily but thought it might cheer you up ... Took a bite out of every single piece of broccoli for sale in my local Waitrose. They refused to accept any payment for the broccoli and I do still suspect they either sold it with the bites taken off or used it in the staff canteen. I have no idea how they managed so much destruction in the time they had...

@pollymere at least you've got one that will eat their vegetables!

Aged 2 & 3, DC poured contents of potty into hollow tubular frame of a futon bed without us knowing. This slowly leaked out onto carpet and ceiling below. When the stain grew and the smell became overpowering we realised and had to throw the bed out and rip up carpet. It cost to repair damage and replace bed and carpet. I had to laugh though when my neighbour phoned to tell me someone was stealing the metal bed frame from outside our house. Bet they'd a lovely surprise!

Someone's baby once grabbed my lovely gold necklace and pulled it off my neck. The mum was mortified and I just said it was fine. It cost me quite a bit to fix though

I did this as a teenager and there was a square on the downstairs ceiling for ages that my dad wouldn't stop going on about

Omg! This wins!

Mine is a car one too, but minor in comparison!

I had just bought a new car, when my 5/6 yr old dd decided to bite the interior of the door panel! Not just the once but several times, 3 years later still have the teeth marks to prove it!

While staying with my parents one weekend, my dd decided it was a good idea to paint the cat with a paintbrush she found soaking in white spirit - the poor cat had to be rushed to the vets struggling to breathe.

Thankfully, the cat ended up ok.

Grandpa got a telling off though for not putting his paint stuff out of reach.

Aw @Pliudev, that's an upsetting one. Most of these are just stuff (albeit some pretty expensive stuff!)

Can you laugh about it now? I just did

same here
laughed i mean, not paint swinging!

Pooed on the sea grass carpet. There’s a poo colored stain on it now that I can’t get out

My 8 year old brother and his friend broke into the house next doors shed when the house was for sale and vacant and found lots of tins of empty paint in various different shades and a few paintbrushes and painted the house and the shed.....the house was white and the paint used was yellow red and blue gloss.
They had done quite a number on it, my dad has to pay for the house to be professionally redecorated.
This was over 30 years ago

Probably this: biro on our brand new sofa with non-removable covers. I believe the sofa was $2,500. We just turned the cushion over. Our other DS threw a cup and hit the brand new tv screen, cracking it. We had to buy a whole new TV. Good times!

Re tv try getting flexi pet covering for front has saved my tv now for years

Flexi pex not pet

Well said @Giantpig

Neurodiverse conditions are dimensional; the extent to which an indiviudal has various characteristics differs. The telling use of the universal 'they' suggests this may not be appreciated by this poster.

It is bold to assume that you alone have applied an answer that 99.99% of the rest of us are unable to grasp, along with our children's Psychologists and Paedatricians (whose parenting advice often includes lowering demands and ignoring a lot of challenging behaviour, in recognition of the need to adjust expectations to reflect actual developmental capacities and reduce chronic anxiety and distress arising from environmental triggers).

DD who is 6 has ruined or broken so much stuff I'd be here all night listing it. Latest was ruining the end of my angel perfume which I had bought with money my gran left me when she died.

We've had the poo smearing as well. As recently as the other week. She is being assessed though.

Worst we've had is drawing in biro all over the bathroom wall. He's very proud of his artwork. Reading these makes me feel thankful that we've not had a lot worse!

At 3 my son decided to run a bath. Just low enough for us to not know. Til the ceiling fell in 3hr later. He had a mark on his hand he didn't like....

At 15 he fell asleep in the shower and smashed the wall. The insurance repairs were awful and I had to pay for another bathroom.

At 17 he ran up a school wall as he wanted to.... it fell down! Had to be cordoned off and school threatened us with police if we didn't pay for the repairs.

I must have a very selective memory because the only ones I can remember is that my twins managed to pull apart about 7 book lights (that I could barely afford to replace) - at least two of them within minutes of getting them in the house.

I also remember DS3 absolutely loved my make up as a toddler - and for some reason, he particularly liked a Benefit blusher I had as he managed to put one all over himself, I got another one as a birthday gift and HE DID THE SAME THING!

Oh, more recently one of my twins put the plug in the sink and left the tap on - didn't realise until husband and I heard dripping and thought someone was in the shower. No, it was dripping through the ceiling. Luckily (for him!) it didn't cause much damage but I was SO angry! PS - he's 14 not little!

@Willmafrockfit @DuesToTheDirt 🤣 yes I can and I’m glad you did too!

Apart from the damage to my vagina?
