Last one, keep the car until kid can drive, pass it to them and forbid them from fixing the hood.
AzgarOgly
I think that should have been addressed to grandparents. As all the kid situations shown are result of lousy parenting.
wtfamIdoinghere000
The look of confusion and betrayal by that dog has me in tears of laughter!

Some parents should probably be watching these kids?
warderbob
Why does it seem these days that kids have no boundaries? If I did any of that shit at any age my Dad would have had my ass!

It's like when my daughter gets mad that her brothers touching her stuff. If you left it where he can get it that's on you.
madknitterlady
Working in a public library is very effective too especially if keeping the children's section clean is in your job description.
TogepiOmelette
had a toddler pull out the ER and BR books. I was livid because I was a page
HeyOhBotchedToe
For serious, if my kid keyed that he loves me into my hood, I'd get a big kick out of it. A bigger kick when it's his first car.
dobbythehouseelf
I once drew on my mom's car with a rock. I thought it was like chalk and would just wipe off. It didn't.

Even at that age I knew not to play with paint or other such substances. Bad parenting.

There was an actual condom ad like this that showed a kid throwing a shit fit in a supermarket. It got banned.
LoveHavingRidiculouslyLongNames
I couldn't even watch the whole thing. Once he started doing that high pitched squeal, my brain started to melt and my ovaries shriveled up.
If it wasn't for the brain-melting bit I might suggest sticking it out until the end. Certainly would avoid any future problems.

Really? I can't think of anyone I know who actually owns a tv. All laptops/tablets/phones.
ArchangelTitus
I can pretty much guess your age group by the fact of no tv or monitors are involved there lol
Milkea
you clearly don't know enough people then
Or I live in a country with a mandatory licence fee and most people just don't want an additional expense when the internet exists.
IIKvothe
How is it even possible that you don't know anyone who owns a tv? EVERYONE owns at least one small one
To be fair, I live in Ireland, and owning any tv means paying a licence fee, which is basically a pointless expense at this point.
ThatsAmazingImNotEvenMad
Is there a different license fee for owning a car with a radio than owning a TV? Or are cars not very commonly owned where you live, either?
A tv licence basically sends money to RTE so they can keep the lights on and buy American tv shows. Totally different to a driving licence.
GerberLegalTeam
That sounds dystopian. I could see some kind of fee for actually getting a broadcast. But for just owning a piece of hardware? Fuck that.
WizardsCantGetPregnantBecauseTheyreNeverLate
It is for getting the broadcast, you can own a TV without having to pay the license if you can prove you aren't using it to watch public TV.
Yoooooo I had no idea that happened in Ireland, that's bullshit
Nicodemusthefirst
Happens in Scotland and England as well.
They want to bring in a "broadcast licence" that covers EVERYTHING with a screen, which is even worse.
Good excuse to upgrade the TV to 4K HDR! The prices are getting really good now, too!
The sad thing is I have a 4K hdr tv but my kid is 4 weeks old. I guess by time he is old enough to wreck it - I can upgrade to an 8k TV haha

Not just at the hospital. My dad worked at a small grocery store and he told me they let this mentally handicapped guy use the bathroom 1/2
once (we don't have a public one) and he smeared poop all over the place. After that no customers were allowed to use the bathroom.

Gomizzi
Jw, did your insurance pay/how bad did it hurt
You can get them at Planned Parenthood. They usually have a deal on them in March so you can time it with March Madness. :)
ohmplenty
If you're worried about the pain, go for one of those no-needle minimal-cut places like https://www.drsnip.com/all-about-vasectomy/#noneedle
i'm USAF so my Tricare paid for it, as far as the pain....the worst part was the local anesthesia, 3 shots right in the sack. 1/?
stung like a motherfucker, i didn't really feel anything else after it all kicked in, felt them going in and moving stuff around but 2/?
no real pain, until they started cauterizing the ends, it wasnt a heated cauterizer but an electric one, i could see little puffs of 3/?
Reebo808
When I was a kid, I thought rocks were chalk and used one to draw all over the family van. Tried to blame it on my sis but I signed my name.
When I was a kid my older brother spray painted our room. He tried to blame it on us by signing our names.

MrSpankalot

Yes, and not even to poop. Just to pee real quick so I wouldn't the next time I sneezed.
Oh high five for stress incontinence
Floridaguysmyfirstcousin
Your judging. Stop it. If you dont have kids enjoy your life and the humor in the lives of those that do.
Did you read the question? Because I specifically stated I wasn't judging, I'm also a parent.
Believe me kids are quick. Especially toddler/preschool age.
TheArtOfQuietBear929
These things can happen in seconds... :)

Seconds.
I walked out of the my office to go to the kitchen and my toddler pulled my TV off the stand and shattered it. Was gone 20 seconds tops.

I often leave my kids playing in the "other room" for more than 10/ 15 at a time while. Not so much when they were toddlers though...
Gremlynn4023
Or put their paints and plasters and shit away.
SomeGeographer
It is amazing what a kid can do in just 1-2 minutes, but all these photos indicate blatant non parental supervision for an extended time.
OneDayWeRodeTheMountainCrestAndIWentEastAndHeWentWest
What do people usually do if they need the bathroom while watching their kid?
Some parents bring their kids in the bathroom with them, I wouldn't lol but some do.
Very young kids often get taken into the bathroom too.
Blastergv9
Also, how do people not teach their kids not to touch the TV or Computer?
My question was mainly inspired by the paint covered big screen, I get it - shit happens. I figured one would catch that kid halfway through

MarkWatneysVicodinPotato

The thing is, they still do it. I told my brother not to mess with my computer, he used it to secretly change parental controls on his 3DS >
> He was ten at the time and old enough to know better. But left the email in my trash can, so I knew what happened.
None of those were poop.
hydrochlorothiazide
They mean the kids were left alone because the parent had to poop
Ah, lost a dvd player to that! Toddler filled it with her "credit cards". Never could get it to work after that!
theportablecat
I like these questions, bc I had to babysit my brothers growing up. People seem to think that good parents are hovering over their kids 1/2
24/7, tag-teaming in and out to make food, bathe themselves, etc. No. A 5 year old should be able to play in the next room for 15min.
& honestly, I feel if you're helicoptering to the point that your kid never makes a mess, I wonder how dependent that kid will grow up to be
You will never make some people understand no matter how hard you try. Its simply a way for them to feel superior to others
If you look at some of those pics, imagine how long it would take for a tiny hand to cover what looks to be a 50 inch TV screen with paint.
I get parents need time to themselves once in awhile, we're human. Can't help but notice that some of that could have been avoided.
You sweet summer child. You really have no idea do you.
DaierMune
Knowing how quickly todlers operate? 90-120 seconds.

Hahahahaha!
Well no shit lol
Theres always someone asking that question and someone else thinking they know better than an actual parent.
Are you seriously not considering that some of these could have been avoided? For the record I'm a parent.
Are you seriously taking funny pictures of kids doing what kids as an opportunity to be upset. To find something to be angry about.
About any of my comments lead you to believe I'm actually upset over kid pictures, you're reaching really hard dude.
Look at all the comments of parents laughing and understanding. 90% or more. Most people get it.
SlasherQuan
I have kids and this was my first thought. Almost none of this could happen without them being unsupervised for quite a while.

bicuriositykilledthiscat
Nope! Not even. My kids can do worlds of damage in literal seconds. I could give 100+ stories from my 10 years of parenting. I’m not /1
a helicopter parent by any means. But I am a stay at home mom who is really involved with the kids and it’s been a wild ride. /2
I was potty training my 2nd. We had the front and back door locked up like Fort Knox but the garage door we just had a basic lock up top /3
Idk what to tell you, something wrong. If your kids can"literally" do massive damage in seconds they have either too easy access to tools/
Destructive items, your house is in disrepair or there's some behavior issues. 20 years of parenting, if time matters, and only writing on
Dontyouknowyoucanfly
My little brother was famous for waiting until mom was distracted and would rush to make the biggest mess he could out of anything
Hed smear butter on the floor, mud from outside, spray his urine wherever he could, tear up the newspaper.

You can get them at Planned Parenthood. They usually have a deal on them in March so you can time it with March Madness. :)

If you're worried about the pain, go for one of those no-needle minimal-cut places like https://www.drsnip.com/all-about-vasectomy/#noneedle

i'm USAF so my Tricare paid for it, as far as the pain....the worst part was the local anesthesia, 3 shots right in the sack. 1/?
Mewmus
stung like a motherfucker, i didn't really feel anything else after it all kicked in, felt them going in and moving stuff around but 2/?
Mewmus
no real pain, until they started cauterizing the ends, it wasnt a heated cauterizer but an electric one, i could see little puffs of 3/?

When I was a kid, I thought rocks were chalk and used one to draw all over the family van. Tried to blame it on my sis but I signed my name.
BungusAmungus
When I was a kid my older brother spray painted our room. He tried to blame it on us by signing our names.
whatmustido
That's when you say she was trying to frame you to get you in trouble. My sister did that shit all the time.

@dobbythehouseelf ....your other half does this too.

I did the last one, it's the only time I've ever come close to being hit.
Itschmatsch
Yea thats what I felt. So im not the only one. Let kids be kids.

I think this needs to be reversed

Not judging because Everybody Poops, but how long where those kids unattended?
TheInternetHasRuinedMeForever
Too fucking long.
grapehaterade
At least 5 minutes. #toolong
LateNightBunnyParty
It doesn't take long. Sometimes literally seconds. I can't be everywhere all the time. Sometimes I have to poop.
awkwardbeautiful
Just long enough
Onlyhereforthelaughs
Long enough.
Splosions
unattended next to open buckets of paint.....
MrSpankalot
A visit by the parent to the toilet is enough.
AnnieGitchYerGun
Yes, and not even to poop. Just to pee real quick so I wouldn't the next time I sneezed.
TheBestRussian
Oh high five for stress incontinence
Floridaguysmyfirstcousin
Your judging. Stop it. If you dont have kids enjoy your life and the humor in the lives of those that do.
maijen0062000
Did you read the question? Because I specifically stated I wasn't judging, I'm also a parent.
sweetlittlebee
Believe me kids are quick. Especially toddler/preschool age.
TheArtOfQuietBear929
These things can happen in seconds... :)
Anarchduke
you have no idea how quickly a small child can implement a disastrous idea.
baltec1
Seconds.
Himura82
I walked out of the my office to go to the kitchen and my toddler pulled my TV off the stand and shattered it. Was gone 20 seconds tops.

I often leave my kids playing in the "other room" for more than 10/ 15 at a time while. Not so much when they were toddlers though...
Gremlynn4023
Or put their paints and plasters and shit away.
SomeGeographer
It is amazing what a kid can do in just 1-2 minutes, but all these photos indicate blatant non parental supervision for an extended time.
OneDayWeRodeTheMountainCrestAndIWentEastAndHeWentWest
What do people usually do if they need the bathroom while watching their kid?
maijen0062000
Some parents bring their kids in the bathroom with them, I wouldn't lol but some do.
vulturedoors
Very young kids often get taken into the bathroom too.
Blastergv9
Also, how do people not teach their kids not to touch the TV or Computer?
maijen0062000
My question was mainly inspired by the paint covered big screen, I get it - shit happens. I figured one would catch that kid halfway through
Floridaguysmyfirstcousin
How many dogs do you own
Himura82
You act like kids never disobey...
MarkWatneysVicodinPotato
You act like you've never heard of jumper cables.
concaveUsurper
The thing is, they still do it. I told my brother not to mess with my computer, he used it to secretly change parental controls on his 3DS >
concaveUsurper
> He was ten at the time and old enough to know better. But left the email in my trash can, so I knew what happened.
Totallyscrewedinaustin
None of those were poop.
hydrochlorothiazide
They mean the kids were left alone because the parent had to poop
Totallyscrewedinaustin
Ah, lost a dvd player to that! Toddler filled it with her "credit cards". Never could get it to work after that!
theportablecat
I like these questions, bc I had to babysit my brothers growing up. People seem to think that good parents are hovering over their kids 1/2
theportablecat
24/7, tag-teaming in and out to make food, bathe themselves, etc. No. A 5 year old should be able to play in the next room for 15min.
theportablecat
& honestly, I feel if you're helicoptering to the point that your kid never makes a mess, I wonder how dependent that kid will grow up to be
Floridaguysmyfirstcousin
You will never make some people understand no matter how hard you try. Its simply a way for them to feel superior to others
maijen0062000
If you look at some of those pics, imagine how long it would take for a tiny hand to cover what looks to be a 50 inch TV screen with paint.
maijen0062000
I get parents need time to themselves once in awhile, we're human. Can't help but notice that some of that could have been avoided.
Floridaguysmyfirstcousin
You sweet summer child. You really have no idea do you.
DaierMune
Knowing how quickly todlers operate? 90-120 seconds.
Yddvb76e3000
Ya but they were left unattended with shit they shouldn't have - that's the problem. Who leaves a bucket of paint next to a toddler!?
vulturedoors
If for no other reason than the paint fumes.
JoeT85
yeah, 2 minutes worth of silence is worth at least $200 in damages and 3 hours of muffled rage stress.

Truest words I've seen on imgur

Only someone without kids would ask this question.
maijen0062000
I'm a stepfather but I skipped the toddler phase, hence the "not judging" part of my question.
Floridaguysmyfirstcousin
Hahahahaha!
ArchangelTitus
Well no shit lol
Floridaguysmyfirstcousin
Theres always someone asking that question and someone else thinking they know better than an actual parent.
maijen0062000
Are you seriously not considering that some of these could have been avoided? For the record I'm a parent.
Floridaguysmyfirstcousin
Are you seriously taking funny pictures of kids doing what kids as an opportunity to be upset. To find something to be angry about.
maijen0062000
About any of my comments lead you to believe I'm actually upset over kid pictures, you're reaching really hard dude.
Floridaguysmyfirstcousin
Look at all the comments of parents laughing and understanding. 90% or more. Most people get it.
SlasherQuan
I have kids and this was my first thought. Almost none of this could happen without them being unsupervised for quite a while.
SlasherQuan
Except the crayon
bicuriositykilledthiscat
Nope! Not even. My kids can do worlds of damage in literal seconds. I could give 100+ stories from my 10 years of parenting. I’m not /1
bicuriositykilledthiscat
a helicopter parent by any means. But I am a stay at home mom who is really involved with the kids and it’s been a wild ride. /2
bicuriositykilledthiscat
I was potty training my 2nd. We had the front and back door locked up like Fort Knox but the garage door we just had a basic lock up top /3
SlasherQuan
Idk what to tell you, something wrong. If your kids can"literally" do massive damage in seconds they have either too easy access to tools/
SlasherQuan
Destructive items, your house is in disrepair or there's some behavior issues. 20 years of parenting, if time matters, and only writing on
Dontyouknowyoucanfly
My little brother was famous for waiting until mom was distracted and would rush to make the biggest mess he could out of anything
Dontyouknowyoucanfly
Hed smear butter on the floor, mud from outside, spray his urine wherever he could, tear up the newspaper.
