Home decorating by a 3 year old

My kids once painted my dining room with vaseline and topped it off with baby powder. Looked pretty much like what these kids have done and it was a bitch to clean up but it did no permanent damage.

Oil based paint! Just looking at the mess makes me want to 1) hyperventilate and 2) paint that kid's kid's back porch red. (Thank you Talladega Nights)

One of the many good reasons I'm thankful I'm not a parent.

I just don't get how parents see their kids that destroy things and go, "Aw, that's cute." Fuck you, I'm the one that has to clean it up! I would have also flipped out and then beat some ass.

I know, I'm sorry but I don't think it's cute at all.

ITA! Of course, who is the idiot that left paint anywhere where a child can have access to it?

I would've put them up for adoption PRONTO.

It's funny to look at, but I reminded myself that the little boy looked so proud because someone immediately took his photo, and I'm willing to bet it was one of his parents. That type of attention is like a reward to him.

Well, who put the bucket of paint within the children's reach, then?

I'm pretty sure there's a warning against that somewhere on the bucket.

I'd be worried they could have ingested some of it, though...

Not that I like children or anything.

There have been a couple times my kids have made some very frustrating messes and I admit to taking a couple of pictures. In this case, though, my last thought would have been a camera....I would have flipped the hell out. My god, how could that even happen? Parents left a full can of paint in reach of two tiny children and went to smoke a joint, or what???

Yup, I would do the same.

**waits for the usual parenting coaches to bitch about spanking kids**

How dare you think about spanking your children that you don't yet have, Sweetie!!!!! You monster! You MUST parent my way and only mine!!!!!

I think the little brother all painted up is hilarious... Truthfully, if my son did this he would think twice about doing something like it ever again.
