This morning I left my phone on my bed while I went to make my 2 year old DS?s breakfast, I was only gone a second, but came back into the room to find him throwing it on the floor (not actually that hard) and he?d been dialling numbers e.t.c, I quickly grabbed the phone and my screen was completly cracked! I?ve no idea what the hell he did to it! My DP was sleeping in the bed, and didn?t hear him playing with it! So I was one unhappy mummy this morning, 139.00 later I have a new iphone which the apple store have replaced for me. I know it was my fault for leaving the phone around, but didn?t expect to find it in the state it was!

Dd was a tad boring, the only intentional damage she did was ONE stamp on a door frame, she scared herself so much that she brought the stamper back to me and said sowwwwy

Kt1991 · 19/05/2013 16:23

Aww bless lol at least she new what she had done wrong, DS just laughed in my face when I told him off. Hope that is the worse he will ever do!

When Wilf was eight he got the lid off two paint tins and walked cornflower blue paint all over my front paths and gravels. My neighbour heard me having hysterics and got her son to come and pressure wash the whole lot off!!!

God ds has scratched my tv screen with scissors, painted his bedroom wall, drawn on various room walls, broke my kindle and broke my phone. That's all I can remember off the the top of my head, there's probably loads more. Thankfully he appears to have grown out of his destructive phase.

Kt1991 · 19/05/2013 16:45

Oh god I?ve got worse to come! You just can?t leave anything around can you! My DS had also managed to work out how to get into the child locks on all the cupboards in the kitchen about 6 months ago! Think the drawing on the walls is what majority of children tend to do don?t they! I?ve heard so many stories from friends etc!

Most days my two seem determined to wreck stuff. Lots of walls drawn on, bubble bath on carpets.

This morning I found a large plastic jar that seems to contain about a pint of wee hidden behind the toilet ??? WTAJ??

QOD · 19/05/2013 17:04

My dneice drew a lovely picture for her mummy in the car

When I say in the car I mean with a stone on the glass of the passenger window

She was utterly furious and never forgave.her mummy for not liking it and for shouting at her about it

My niece is hilarious

Wee in the corner of her room, which is next to the bathroom, taking photos of herself having a poo. Literally a series of photos as it came out and so on and on and on and on

When my eldest was almost 3 (and I was heavily pregnant with DD2), she had a penchant for stripping off naked at soft play. I used to have to run around after her, collecting her abandoned clothes, squeeze through the equipment (which is NOT designed for heavily pregnant ladies) in the vain hope of trying to catch. Everyone else found it hilarious. I did not! Thankfully she has outgrown that stage now, and has never wrecked any of my furniture, so I can't complain too much Grin

HDEE · 19/05/2013 17:11

A toddler throwing a phone is par for the course isn't it? TBH I wouldn't really have thought twice about it.

Just this week one of my three year olds has filled his brother's school shoes with baby shampoo and painted the TV, the sofa, the door, the windows and the carpet with green emulsion paint.

HDEE · 19/05/2013 17:12

Oh, and on a different day, he painted the walls outside with the same green emulsion paint.

LaVitaBellissima · 19/05/2013 17:23

I think will out myself completely if I regale tales of my terrible twins!

You should have just got a replacement iPhone screen from a local phone shop, mine cost £40 and needs doing again

soaccidentprone · 19/05/2013 17:31

Ds1 drew big scribbly circles on the living room wall with black marker. He also drew on a chest of drawers in the living room afterwards. I had to sand and paint the drawers. Thankfully it was scrubable wallpaper.

Ds2 clipped his hair with the clippers. It was wavy. I had to give him a number 2 all over, but you could see one patch on his head was shorter than the rest.

Kt1991 · 19/05/2013 17:33

Well when it has cost 130 to sort it out HDEE it is especially when I rely lots on my mobile phone, I use it as a computer too. & it wasn?t just a little crack, it was ALL over the screen. My DP said that was the best option to spend a bit more as it wasn?t insured! We have decided to make sure the whole flat has insurance now! Wonder what goes through kids minds when they are doing something naughty! Oh I would of felt for you Lady Lech, couldn?t of been easy chasing a toddler round with a big bump!

DD (then about 16 months) snapped my glasses in half ten minutes before a very important England game in the Euros 2012.

We both cried.

HDEE · 19/05/2013 17:54

But breaking a phone screen is hardly naughty for a two year old. It's not like he thought, 'hey, mum's gone out the room, I'll quickly destroy her phone.'

Kt1991 · 19/05/2013 18:03

It is a naughty thing to do though because he knows he?s not allowed to touch my phone without me giving it to him to play with. & he knew he had done something wrong when I told him off.

DD1 pushed DD2 down the stairs when they were about 4 and 2. Angry Holiday home with no stair gates.

Bumply · 19/05/2013 18:11

A friends twins took their dads record collection out (back in the days of LPs) and used them as sledges across a pile of coal they'd laid across the carpet.
They were shut in their room as punishment on another occasion and stripped the wallpaper off the walls and flung it out the window like confetti.
Thankfully mine have less destructive ways of being irritating.

Kt1991 · 19/05/2013 18:18

Omg lol I bet having twins is double the nightmare! I would hate it if my wallpaper was ruined as its no longer available!

Notgood - be ready for years of this, my big brother still pushes me down the stairs. I'm 28.

NotGoodNotBad · 19/05/2013 21:39

Shock Empire

Mine are teenagers now, no stair pushing for a while though we have had a few bruises along the way. Hmm

ThreeBeeOneGee · 19/05/2013 21:42

I don't even know where to start.

To pick one at random, DTs massively flooded the bathroom by putting the washbasin plug in, running both taps and plugging up the overflow with their comfort blankets because they "wanted to make a swimming pool".

TigerSwallowTail · 19/05/2013 21:51

When DS was 3 he flushed our kitten down the toilet (the kitten was fine thankfully!),he's also practiced drawing stars on our wooden coffee table with a sharpie and just a couple of weeks ago he covered his bedroom wallpaper with paint handprints.

TigerSwallowTail · 19/05/2013 21:53

Oh and last week he attempted to climb up to the top of the fridge to get some baby-bells and broke one of the shelf units, causing the contents of the fridge to all tip out.

memphis83 · 19/05/2013 21:57

Ds found the bottle of talc in his drawer and emptied it all over his room, on his bed, i the drawers, opened books and filled the pages and also poofed the bottle up the walls.
He also emptied ready brek all over the kitchen floor.
he opened my nail varnish and tried to paint his nails, it went on his hands so he wiped it all over my bed and walls.
Went i my bag at my nans house and painted a picture on their dresser with my lipstick when I nipped to make lunch.
