Today, my two boys decided to draw in permanent marker on the leather seats of the car I have had up for sale for 3 weeks with no interest. I called my husband to tell him we're going to have to keep it. He just made an appointment with a guy who has cash and is ready to buy it tomorrow. FML

Today, my car broke down. Yesterday, my husband mentioned he found my dream car for sale, but I'd insisted my car had a lot of miles left and we should save money. They sold my dream car this morning. Now I'm carless. FML
Today, I bought a car. Made a down payment and everything. Have the papers saying it’s mine, only to find out a few hours later it was sold right before I bought it. FML
Today, after selling things on eBay all week to afford a nice weekend with my husband and kids, my car died. Now we have to spend the money on a battery. FML
Today, I received my new car-seat covers. I wrote my car off yesterday. FML

Today, after having saved up my money for months to buy my college-bound son the car of his dreams, I got a phone call telling me it had been totalled during a drag-race. I only gave him the keys two days ago. FML
Today, after selling their car, my parents decided to inform me that my car (that I paid for myself) is now going to be the "Family Car". They also informed me that since it is, after all, my car, I'll still have to pay for the gas and maintenance. FML
Today, I went to a dealership for a new car. We were halfway through paperwork when the manager informed me I wouldn’t be buying the S Class, but I would be buying a Nissan Micra. Turns out my wife fell asleep in the car, allowing our son to escape and draw smiley faces on the Nissan with a rock. FML
Today, my kids decided to draw on the walls with permanent marker, and now my house looks like a modern art exhibit. FML
Today my husband went to buy a car from some guy from Facebook. He ended up giving the guy $1000 upfront before receiving the title or bill of sale. So now, we have a car we can't use, we're completely broke now, and the guy is ghosting us. FML

You obviously don't know how to raise kids if they managed to vandalize on the car seats.

You Deserve this. A Car is no place for a child to play. You should of had the doors locked and the keys out of reach. Also assuming they used permanent marker they must be young. How did you not see them head outside with markers open the car and draw inside.

@appfluxx, it's infered that they will become useless members of society because of the lackustre parenting skills they will be witness to. not learning to be respectful of people and property is just the start.

Sell your kids on eBay.

Try using nail polish remover. It won't take permanent marker off of anything, but there are some materials it will take it off of.

Anything with ethanol in it will remove stains by dissolving the ink back into a liquid state, allowing you to just wipe it up. Anyone with experience in cleaning up markers should know this already...

Rubbing Alcohol takes off permanant marker and please ignore all of these people, who obveasly dont have children. Accidents happen.

rubbing alcohol should take that off no problem. you could also try writing over it with a dry erase marker and then wiping that off the seats. and next time, try watching your ******* kids. YDI

YDI. If your kids are old enough to know better, you obviously failed at discipline somewhere along the way. And if your kids are too young to know better, then you failed because WHY WEREN'T THEY BEING WATCHED? Either way, rubbing alcohol works wonders, so give it a shot. OR, offer to throw in seat covers with the deal?
